Jane Littte Botkin, former Texas beauty queen and Guyrex Girl, reveals the realities of becoming the first protégé of the "Kings of Beauty," Richard Guy and Rex Holt. Her experiences, which occur against the backdrop of the 1970s counterculture movement, launch "Guyrex" into Miss USA pageant history even as Jane struggles to leave the pageant world amid fractured family relationships. A pink, rose-covered gown, a Guyrex creation, symbolizes the fairy tale life that young women imagine beauty queens have. Its near destruction exposes a far less dreamy reality: the author's failed mother-daughter relationship. Weaving these narrative threads together is the Wild West notion that anything is possible-especially do-overs.
