Bookworm Into a Butterfly

Kim of Queens – Season 1

Frustrated with her regular pageant girls' inability to display personality, Kim introduces smart, quirky pageant newbie EJ as motivation. Kim tries to let EJ's internal beauty shine through, but mom Elizabeth - who doesn't believe in makeup for her daughter - has difficulty handing over the reins to Kim. Allisyn, wanting more responsibility, thinks too far out of the "box" for the Pageant Place holiday card.
