On last night's episode of T&T, there was a lot of bad blood between two moms whose young daughters (Gabby and Alaska) often compete in the same age division of the same pageants.

Part of what made the story of the murder of JonBenet Ramsey so salacious and tabloid-worthy is that — back in 1996 — it was the first most of us had even heard of the competitive world of high-glitz child beauty pageants.
