Life really is a mystery. In April 2011, a Time headline asked its readership a seemingly simple question: "A Preschooler in a Madonna Cone Bra?" On any given day, the answer should be an emphatic "No," preferably punctuated with a few fat exclamation points and underlined in three blood-red sharpie slashes. But on one particularly controversial episode of Toddlers & Tiaras, the answer was a resounding, "Yes, indeed."
Here's how it all went down: As Jezebel reported, a 2-year old girl named Mia took the stage to the dulcet tones of Madonna's "Like A Prayer," dancing for glory in a "white robe with angel wings." So far, so weird — and it gets even grittier from here. Mia eventually removed the robe to expose a tight gold-hued bustier, fully adorned with a conical bra. As Time reported, Mia lost focus at one point — possibly because she was two years old at the time — and her mom bounded onstage to demonstrate how to shake one's hips like a pro.
In the end, Mia's mom was delighted by the performance, boasting that "we like to do things that are different." She felt Mia's turn was suitably "over the top. It was a crowd-pleaser." Jezebel didn't sound particularly pleased: "There is absolutely nothing cute, charming, funny, or precious about this concept," the publication said.
