Patsy said that she had expected JB to be thrilled with the MyTwinn doll that was specially ordered and dressed in a replica of pageant finery, complete with pageant hairstyle. This apparently wasn't the way JB saw herself- and when she saw the doll, she put it aside dismissively, saying it "doesn't look like me". Because JB didn't see herself as the "pageant princess" her mom and grandmother put out into the world.
Later, Patsy told LE that she and JB had argued about what she was going to wear to the White's. Patsy had bought an outfit at Gap, consisting of black velvet jeans and matching vest, white sweatshirt with silver sequin star. Patsy wanted her to wear a red turtleneck with the black velvet jeans and vest instead of the white shirt, because Patsy was also going to wear black velvet jeans and a red sweater. She wanted them to match. JB had refused to wear the matching sweater, and wanted to wear the white shirt.
