The child beauty pageant circuit in the UK has seen a recent explosion in popularity. Will she be entering any more? "Yes." She pauses, a touch uncertainly. Because as well as being a normal seven-year-old, Amber is also an aspiring child beauty queen.ĭid she enjoy entering the beauty pageant? Amber thinks for a second and then nods her head. Later, she will show me a certificate she was given for taking part in the Mini Miss UK competition earlier this year. Her hair has been styled with two sparkly hairclips and she is wearing a pale pink dress studded with fabric flowers. But it is hard not to notice as she talks that her eyelids are powdered with gold eyeshadow. To all intents and purposes, Amber is a confident little girl with an array of enthusiasms and interests. She lays them in a line on the carpet and looks at them proudly. "This is my red collection," she says, unzipping her pink rucksack and carefully lifting out a series of rust- coloured stones. But, most of all, Amber likes to collect stones. She also likes watching music videos on YouTube and making up dances to accompany the songs of JLS, her favourite boy-band. She sleeps with a poster of the actress above her bed and stores all her most treasured possessions in a glittery purple box emblazoned with the image of Hannah Montana. Amber is seven years old and loves Miley Cyrus.
