Summary
"As far as I'm concerned, a swimsuit body is a body with a swimsuit on it."
This week The Wives Colangelo are heading to Texas, signing up for a pageant to piss off our mothers, and learning from drag queens what it means to be a beauty queen with DUMPLIN'! It's time to discuss the insecurities our moms imprint on us, why seeking external validation while existing in a marginalized body is not anti-feminist, and why Dolly Parton truly is the North Star for anyone who has ever felt like they were too much or not enough.

| 1:19.3 | accent immediately because I'm actually not very good at them. No. I also have no idea which region |
| 1:25.8 | my Southern accent when I do what is coming from, which is a problem as far as I'm concerned. I should know, like, which southern accent I'm doing.
