Summary

This week, Kate follows up on some of the themes from last week about the lore and cultural significance of pageantry by bringing on a former pageant contestant & PR insider (and Beth!) named Cori Wallace, who chats with her about a variety of topics that extend beyond the scope of last week’s drama to meander through pageants being both a reflection (and regression) of elements of modern womanhood. From more granular details like what it costs and how people win, to the mental health implications of striving for impossible standards, the ethical grey area of sponsorship cross-pollination, and coaches being pageant producers. They also share some of their own vulnerabilities for chasing validation based off of a reduced version of themselves and wonder if they ever really stopped. All in all, it's like a fireside chat between friends trying to wind through a topic they feel two ways about thoughtfully. First, however, Kate does review some of the judging criteria she forgot to go over last week, but mostly just obsesses over which part of her body is her ‘carriage.'. Enjoy!

0:12.7	I'm Kate Kennedy, your host.
0:15.6	So today we're having an after party in the Miss USA.
0:21.9	And that normally I wouldn't extend a topic beyond one episode because I know you guys stopped
0:26.4	caring about this, like maybe even before it happened, but stick with me because it's
0:30.7	not just about the pageant itself.
0:32.8	I actually think this conversation not only is it so lovely to be able to interview a
0:41.9	podcast listener and accomplish PR professional and a person who's been inside of the pageant
0:49.9	industry and can kind of give us the scoop her name's Corey Wallace and I'll introduce
0:55.0	you to her in a bit.
0:56.0	I really like I genuinely love this conversation.
0:58.9	I appreciate it Corey's intel as well as like vulnerability and broader insights.
1:03.3	I will try not to do too long with intro, but I think I forgot a couple things last
1:08.3	time.
1:09.3	And I was I'm going to put a bunch of cut footage on Patreon because this was originally
1:13.2	going to be on Patreon.
1:14.2	And then I was like, no, I think this is a really great conversation for regular episode
1:17.9	and long story short, I needed to do an early drop because I have surgery tomorrow.
1:23.7	So I just wanted to, you know, maybe not get on the mic under anesthesia, but honestly,
1:31.3	who would know the difference anymore anyway.
1:35.1	So okay, I didn't read you some of the judges criteria last week and I think the judges
