This week on Switchblade Sisters Social Club, Dee and Isla saddle up for a story straight out of a movie – but this one’s all true.

Meet Peggy Jo Tallas: devoted daughter, quiet cashier… and the cross-dressing Texan bank robber who outsmarted the FBI. For years, they hunted the mysterious 'Cowboy Bob' - a calm, silent, and oddly polite bandit in a Stetson. What they didn’t know was that behind the fake beard and oversized boots was a 46-year-old woman caring for her sick mother.

From her first heist in 1991 to her tragic final showdown in 2005, Peggy Jo’s story is part Thelma & Louise, part Robin Hood, and all heartbreak.

Dee and Isla unpack the loneliness, the thrill, and the quiet rebellion of a woman pushed to extremes by circumstance - and why her story still fascinates writers, filmmakers, and feminists today.

💋 No guns, no gangs, no fear - just a towel, a cowboy hat, and a whole lot of guts.
