You’ll have the sash to prove it.īut tiny, 6-year-old Alana is too crass and happy to get it.
If you can afford the entry fees, the glitter, the makeup, the coach, and the stylists, you will be the Ultimate Supreme, as they say in the business. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo casts this socio-economic divide in especially sharp relief, since the show is rooted partly in beauty pageant culture, which, in its own idiosyncratic way, indulges the American belief that you can work and spend your way to greatness. These shows reassure us that our struggle is worth it, all economic evidence to the contrary-if only because we would never belly-flop into the mud on cable television.
As that distribution of power becomes more and more unequal, it’s no surprise to see the hillbilly here again-on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, on Jersey Shore, on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom franchises.
