A mother spent £20,000 on pampering her beauty pageant daughter
A MOTHER has spent more than £20,000 on pampering her baby daughter so she can enter beauty pageants.
Jas Sullivan and her daughter Minnie-Beau
Carer Jas Sullivan, 23, has splashed out £15,000 on designer clothes alone for her only child Minnie-Beau, aged 22 months.
The outfits include traditional Spanish frills, sophisticated furs and an array of flamboyant costumes – including a corset-style dress and a ruffled two-piece bikini.
Now Minnie is making a name for herself on the beauty pageant scene with her trademark pout.
The little girl was entered into her first pageant at just 18 months old and has since competed in four more, winning eight titles.

She has hair extensions and a full face of make-up applied before every stage appearance.
But not everyone agrees with Jas’s parenting style.
I’ve been accused of sexualising my daughter
The single mother, from Plymouth, said: “I’ve been accused of sexualising my daughter but the people that say that are the ones with the sick thoughts – that doesn’t even enter my mind.
“It’s just like a dance competition – you get marked on your routines, your outfits and your make-up too.
“She’s not a spoilt brat and she appreciates everything I give to her.”

Jas added: “I live with my mum and I don’t pay any bills. I don’t go out drinking and wasting money. Minnie is my life and I’d spend any amount to make her happy.”
