This week our heroes grapple with their greatest horror yet: Being perceived! A list circulates around Liberty High that ranks the sophomore girls on their appearance, much to the dismay of just about everyone. (Except Rayanne, who is tickled to be recognized for "most slut potential.") Meanwhile, Angela is furious to have developed a zit, and even furious-er when Patty decides they should enter a mother/daughter fashion show. Also, there’s a man working at the mall who may want to eat their skin.
Helping me to unpack it all are Virginia Sole-Smith, author of Fat Talk; fashion designer and returning guest Samantha Rei; and Scottish comedian Sam Pirie. And then James and I share a few musings of our own.
