It's so funny that noone really knows about Jojo bows.
There's a programme called Dance Moms (which is one some or several minor TV channel). It's American.
A woman called Abby Lee Miller (I may have spelt that wrong) is a dance teacher. Children attend her class. She is vile to most of them, except a couple who she favours. Every week the children enter competitions, which they usually win or are placed.
Most of the programme is given over to the mothers of the children bitching about Abby, bitching about the other kids and falling out with each other.
The programme is TOXIC. Abby 'grades' the children on a 'wall' every week. She is nasty, vile and rude to the kids, who are expected to take it.
Then she announces which competition they'll be entering later that week and says who has a solo (cue bitching from the 'moms'). The kids then learn their dances in 3 days (aged about 8!!!! My DD did dance shows. Audience = parents and the occasional GP. Preparation time = 8 - 9 months).
Then the rest of the show is rehearsals (more bitching)
Going to the competition.
The competition.
The results.
All interspersed with the Moms complaining.
It's currently on about series 10. The mothers have got more and more expensive-looking as the series-s have gone on. They're all botox'd to shit now.
If you've ever seen a Sia video, one of Abby's dancers (Maddie - one of the few favourites) is probably dancing in it.
One of the children is called Jojo. Abby is relentlessly horrid to her. The kid is quite sassy and mouthy. I quite like her actually. She wears ridiculous bows in her hair. I guess the girl done good if she's now selling them and every primary school girl wants one.
Obviously, I've never seen the programme myself....
It's the derailing I hate. eg. My child was involved in a minor altercation at nursery, I'm not happy about how nursery dealt with it
Then gets
A load of posts with people with their stories of horrendous bullying and how their parent never stood up for them. It colours the entire thread and makes any potentially useful advice redundant, because it's all held up against the extreme cases, and that becomes the benchmark.
And the cleaning.
And the "I'm more eco than you"
There was a REALLY funny thread a while back which was "what's your bedroom like" and loads of posters put up pictures from magazines and stuff and pretended it was their bedroom. Interspersed with really shitty untidy rooms with cats asleep on the pillows.
