Milkers: The Strange and Wonderful World of Babyz Pageantry

Cover Story: A look inside the little community that could.

P

arenting is really hard. One day, you're just some dude who likes to play videogames until the wee hours of the morning, and the next -- well, you're some dad who likes to play videogames until the wee hours of the morning. Dealing with the horror of realizing a tiny person's life is in your hands can sometimes feel overwhelming, but there's a sense of freedom in playing a great game with friends during those few quiet hours.

So, when I set out to write a story about a videogame community, the last thing I expected to find were people escaping to a virtual universe of child rearing, baby modding, and ranked beauty pageants. But as strange as it sounds, it's also one of the most fascinating groups of gamers I've ever met.
