El Paso, TX (KVIA-TV)- A former Texas beauty queen and Guyrex Girl spoke to ABC-7 about the realities of becoming the first protégé of “Kings of Beauty” Richard Guy and Rex Holt amid the 1970s.

Jane Little Botkin shared her experiences that helped launch “GuyRex” into Miss USA pageant history. Throughout her book The Pink Dress, she awakens nostalgia by discussing what it was like living in El Paso, Texas, in the 1960s and 1970s. She focuses on the era’s conflicts, growth pains, and struggles with her family.
Little-Botkin will stop in the Sun City to promote her new book. If you are interested, she will hold a book signing on September 28 at Margin Notes Books, Coffee & Wine. She returns November 16 to the Barnes and Noble at the Fountains at Farrah in east El Paso.
