Subject: Fed up
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:43:54 06/29/25 Sun As a mom of a long time teen, delegate, I would never recommend this system to anyone in the future. My daughter has worked her butt off the past three years, constantly improving constantly working with her coaches, out in the community frequently, developing her community service. And basically, none of that matters. To have the board go in hand pick a national title holder and bring her in to win over girls who have been here for years working in the system, is a total slap in the face. These people do not care about our girls. I am over it, and a few little scholarships is like they are throwing us breadcrumbs to keep us coming back and dumping more and more money into this. Do yourself a favor, go elsewhere. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Re: Fed up -- No name, 14:38:09 06/29/25 Sun I am on a committee and will tell you she isn’t wrong at all. It’s frustrating as hell to watch this happen. And secondly before you tell someone they don’t know what they are talking about you might want to learn some computer basics. (NT) -- No name, 15:04:18 06/29/25 Sun Also a committee member here. We take the girls who win our locals and do our very best to prepare them as directed. And then we show up, and realize none of it mattered. Committees are not told what the board is looking for. This year, I do believe the board wanted Ward. It makes me so upset for my girls who worked so hard. It would be nice if the board shared with locals what they are looking for year to year. I do not feel right about girls and moms spending the money and time and effort for something that’s not realistic for them. (NT) -- No name, 16:07:32 06/29/25 Sun Re: Also a committee member here.

Subject: Carrie Everett
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:44:31 06/29/25 Sun Just out of curiosity, how man people think that Carrie may have been flipping off her detractors this week. The two things that keep popping up are her avid interest in making only African American only related appearances and the fact that she lived with Adrienne Perry's family last year. It just seems so ironic that she sported the most iconic African hairstyle all week as well as wearing traditional African garb for her farewell. But the piece de' resistance came when she brought Adrienne up on stage to sing a duet. That was priceless! She mentioned that she aspires to become a gospel singer. She is well on her way with the performance against the church backdrop. She sounded fantastic and that segments beautifully staged. Hats off to the production team for pulling that together.

Good riddance. May we never have to see her ever again. (NT) -- No name, 18:30:33 06/30/25 Mon Hell yeah she was trying to make a point. Glad she’s gone. Not once did I stand for her like everyone else did. She didn’t deserve anyone’s respect (NT) -- No name, 18:37:33 06/30/25 Mon She was wonderful and beautiful. She earned the job, and then did the job to the best of her ability. She was encouraging and cheering all of the girls on all week. -- No name, 19:44:35 06/30/25 Mon She mosts cerrtainly did NOT do the yearlong job to the best of her ability. She won the title but she was in no way a MISS NC, and she never will be. She is one winner that I hope never returns to the pageant.

Subject: NC has done it again
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 06:17:02 06/29/25 Sun 1. Anyone who says that the judging is completely impartial, and there is no agenda, has not been watching the past few years. Clearly, last year the directive was for diversity, clearly this year. The directive for miss was show an expensive gown is not needed to win. Instead of just picking the person who has the best chance to do well at Miss America, they had to get creative. 2. Keelie from first runner up to not top 10. Your thoughts? 3. Sarah Beth no top ten? 4. Was Chapel Hill punished for her 10K dress? 5. We all knew Kate Ward would win, but how we got there? No Mary Michael in top 5? No Kaydin Brown? Were they going for a softer look? 6. How on earth did some of those teens make top 10 much less top 5? Rose Hill? Who had her on their list? 7. Cleveland’s teen - horrible that she did not make top 10. Double prelim winner. Even if her interview wasn’t stellar, how does this happen? She’s out but AJ is in? 8. Carrie Radar? No top ten? 9. So many girls who have been on the stage multiple times and still no top 10, no recognition. Yet Miss NC just expects them to keep coming back and talking about how amazing the organization is. These girls are just numbers for the few Miss NC decides fits their narrative for the year. 10. People’s choice. Can they just stop announcing this? It is humiliating to the winner. 11. Joco taking credit for Kate Ward is ridiculous. She showed up a ready to go package. 12. Sad to see lots of new talent completely ignored by Miss NC. Why would these girls return?

Definitely should not announce people’s choice. Felt bad for CH (NT) -- No name, 06:26:29 06/29/25 Sun She could have been top 10 anyways but now she won’t know. (NT) -- No name, 06:32:45 06/29/25 Sun I’m sure she would give that $500 scholarship back to not have been humiliated on stage. Do better MNC (NT) -- No name, 08:50:45 06/29/25 Sun Not a chance in hell and you are foolish if you don't see it. Which is why her parents paid probably an ungodly amount of money to get her in top 11. (NT) -- No name, 09:23:14 06/29/25 Sun Stovall was the People’s Choice winner and clinched the Miss NC title—facts that clearly sail right over your heads. So to all you trolls fueling this nonsense: zip it. Your echo chamber of baseless chatter just doesn’t hold a crown, and at least HH didn’t act like an ass like last years PC winner did when it was announced. (NT) -- No name, 07:21:22 07/01/25 Tue Re: Definitely should not announce people’s choice. Felt bad for CH -- No name, 12:01:31 06/29/25 Sun Sometimes PC is already in the top ten so the next person in line moves to top 11. Miss America 2002 Katie Harmon as the PC at Mis America. (NT) -- No name, 04:00:18 06/30/25 Mon Agree on all points. The only way this will change is if contestants start going elsewhere instead of returning year after year for this nonsense. (NT) -- No name, 06:45:16 06/29/25 Sun Keelie was not a surprise (NT) -- No name, 07:26:59 06/29/25 Sun Yes it was (NT) -- No name, 07:57:35 06/29/25 Sun Maybe to her and her family it was a surprise but it was no surprise to MANY (NT) -- No name, 08:26:27 06/29/25 Sun How? She was not top 10 quality in any event (NT) -- No name, 08:49:38 06/29/25 Sun Hudson was for sure punished for her dress. Cleveland’s teen was robbed. (NT) -- No name, 07:50:30 06/29/25 Sun I say this to you with all the love and kindness I can find this morning but it is time someone breaks the bad news to you; you can put a pretty bow and lipstick on a pig but at the end of the day its still a pig and no I am not saying she is ugly or fat. What I am saying is her talent is painfully bad. So bad. Ohhhhhhhhhh so bad. (NT) -- No name, 09:20:52 06/29/25 Sun “First off, I’ve mock interviewed HH — easily a Top 5. Her fitness? Elite. Gown? Flawless. Talent? Grew tremendously. So let’s be clear: the only pig in lipstick is the keyboard warrior hiding behind a screen, throwing shade at a highly intelligent young woman who’s out here making real moves — too busy winning at life to waste time caring about the irrelevant noise from someone who peaked at Wi-Fi signal strength.” (NT) -- No name, 03:57:29 07/01/25 Tue Interview matters! If your group is weak you. A win a prelim award but not outscore girls that are stronger in another group. I think Kelstrom will be fine this year. Miss America likes the glitz and glam so they need to step up the wardrobe. (NT) -- No name, 07:54:54 06/29/25 Sun Re: NC has done it again -- No name, 07:58:20 06/29/25 Sun True. I especially agree with Cleveland’s Teen. At worst she should have been top 5. I hope she comes back. (NT) -- No name, 08:26:34 06/29/25 Sun Directors were already trying to recruit her this weekend! (NT) -- No name, 08:51:42 06/29/25 Sun That is what LDs are supposed to do. Recruit! They were recruiting any one who has not aged out. (NT) -- No name, 08:56:17 06/29/25 Sun The poor girl was upset maybe give her the weekend (NT) -- No name, 08:59:48 06/29/25 Sun What was the mix up during her question? Why wasn't Randolph in place ready to come out? Did she make her mess up on purpose? (NT) -- No name, 13:48:18 06/29/25 Sun I was backstage. Randolph was either not around or paying attention. Production told Cleveland to go. (NT) -- No name, 14:14:49 06/29/25 Sun Kudos to Cleveland Teen! She handled it beautifully. Actually saw a girl with real personality! (NT) -- No name, 14:18:27 06/29/25 Sun She should go somewhere that is not overtly corrupt. (NT) -- No name, 08:52:21 06/29/25 Sun Re: True. I especially agree with Cleveland’s Teen. At worst she should have been top 5. I hope she comes back. -- No name, 21:13:28 06/29/25 Sun Mary Micheal not in top 5 was robbery. She was top 3 across every event (NT) -- No name, 08:53:00 06/29/25 Sun What blows me away is all of the girls who have NO chance thinking they have a chance. I could name several who compete year after year, more and more money invested, never crack the top 10 but keep thinking they are going to win. I guess with this crazy judging it’s anyone’s game but honey if you have competed 3 and 4 years and haven’t seen the top 10, take your money somewhere else. You are feeding an org that does not care one bit about you. (NT) -- No name, 08:55:19 06/29/25 Sun You are clearly missing the point that it is about growth and improving oneself to do and be better. Oh and you know the real reason of service and scholarship. You deserve a good jab to the face right now, shut up! (NT) -- No name, 09:16:51 06/29/25 Sun Anyone who thinks this is actually about service and scholarship is deluded. The girls who win are extra skinny and meet what the board wants that year. If you are not a size zero it doesn’t matter how much service you have done, you have no chance. And seeing these girls every year get overlooked when they are doing everything they think they should is awful. (NT) -- No name, 09:22:28 06/29/25 Sun NOW! This year is a reflection of what you are talking about but last year Carrie Everett won and she is "average" in size. This year all we saw was skin bones and muscle. (NT) -- No name, 09:25:45 06/29/25 Sun And if she worked harder in fitness she may have made the 10! Same with TL she may have been too 5, fitness Carrie’s the same weight as talent yall! It isn’t a talent show! (NT) -- No name, 05:17:43 07/01/25 Tue 1 of 2 - While I don’t believe the original comment was intended to be hateful, it does open the door to a much larger and necessary conversation. The reality is this year’s results felt predetermined. Kate Ward and Kellstrom with Hannah hot on her heels were destined to all win this year regardless of their committees. Did either committee really do anything spectacular for either girl? What stood out most to me was how much emphasis is now being placed on interviews and perhaps even more glaringly, on fitness. It feels like we've shifted into a space where “super skinny” or six-pack abs are now prerequisites for a competitive score in that category. Meanwhile young women with more average or curvy figures are not being scored as favorably and that’s a problem. (NT) -- No name, 09:10:01 06/29/25 Sun It was alarming how skinny Kamryn has gotten this year. I am concerned about her. There is definitely an unspoken requirement to be extra skinny (NT) -- No name, 09:14:58 06/29/25 Sun Re: It was alarming how skinny Kamryn has gotten this year. I am concerned about her.

There is definitely an unspoken requirement to be extra skinny -- No name, 16:16:04 06/29/25 Sun 2 of 2 At this point it feels like we’ve circled back to the swimsuit era in a different costume. Overall the finals were incredibly disappointing and I say that as an innocent bystander with no dog in the fight. I think Sophia is lovely though her dress is not "Miss America Ready" she just looks insanely skinny in it and Kate Ward is simply just a mean girl in a pretty package that can speak well. Opening others’ dress bags, joking about not eating for five days with her mother aware, and mocking competitor talents from the wings is deeply concerning. This isn’t meant to stir drama only to spark reflection. If we're going to claim empowerment, inclusivity, and integrity in this system, then we need to be willing to take a hard look at the way things are unfolding and who we’re rewarding. (NT) -- No name, 09:11:04 06/29/25 Sun Opening others dress bags????? Did this actually happen? When? (NT) -- No name, 09:19:03 06/29/25 Sun No evening gowns. She opened evening gown bags and bragged about it. (NT) -- No name, 09:27:18 06/29/25 Sun Do we know this actually happened?? If so someone needs to report it asap. That is disqualifying behavior. (NT) -- No name, 09:38:19 06/29/25 Sun She told multiple sister queens she did it. Surely it was reported but in true Miss NC fashion we do nothing about poor behavior. But when you are crooked at the top poor behavior is just a reflection. (NT) -- No name, 09:58:54 06/29/25 Sun It has not been reported. And until delegates actually do start reporting these types of things, they will continue to happen. (NT) -- No name, 11:42:23 06/29/25 Sun Re: She told multiple sister queens she did it. Surely it was reported but in true Miss NC fashion we do nothing about poor behavior.

Move along (NT) -- No name, 21:32:22 06/29/25 Sun I’m so tired of FAKE stories being told about delegates. I’m a contestant and have read the most insane comments up here about my self and others that are simply not true. Not once did I hear of kate doing any of this she was nothing but kind all week. People like you are the reason she was crying before finals over not being good enough here. Also MMM is another one who is truly kind. So many girls slandered on this board by mothers who are mad their kids didn’t place. (NT) -- No name, 12:22:55 06/29/25 Sun Dear Mrs Ward, That’s funny because she told several contestants. (NT) -- No name, 12:28:19 06/29/25 Sun You poor soul. Not “Mrs Ward” but a girl who was immediately comforted by kate after losing my voice and not being able to sing. I hope you find something better to do with your life than this. Praying for you. (NT) -- No name, 12:47:02 06/29/25 Sun You hide behind a screen saying awful things but would never have the courage to say something like this to anyone’s face. I hope you find some joy that doesn’t come from slandering people on the board. (NT) -- No name, 12:49:21 06/29/25 Sun The girls saying she did this are the low level competitors who have tried for years and haven’t gotten into the top 10. It could be true but it could also just be these girls who had no real chance being salty. (NT) -- No name, 13:23:30 06/29/25 Sun Who exactly are these “low level” competitors (NT) -- No name, 14:33:58 06/29/25 Sun The ones who compete every year and never make top 10. They do everything right, have drank the kool aid. Believe it’s about service:. And every year are just used as numbers. (NT) -- No name, 15:36:55 06/29/25 Sun The only “low level” person here is you. This is the most entitled BS I think I have ever read on this board and that says a lot about your “better than them” attitude. No ma’am that is some rich bitch bull shit and we aren’t doing that. (NT) -- No name, 21:37:48 06/29/25 Sun Re: I’m so tired of FAKE stories being told about delegates.

Prior to offering commentary, it is imperative to thoroughly comprehend the scoring methodology of this system. (NT) -- No name, 09:32:27 06/29/25 Sun However when the person recruiting contestants and planting them in preliminaries and that same person hand selects the judges that will select the new state queen it compromises the integrity of the entire system. Why is john recruiting? (NT) -- No name, 09:52:10 06/29/25 Sun It is so clearly rigged it’s crazy. Everyone knew Ward would win. Why put the other girls through all of that. (NT) -- No name, 11:43:25 06/29/25 Sun Re: However when the person recruiting contestants and planting them in preliminaries and that same person hand selects the judges that will select the new state queen it compromises the integrity of the entire system. Why is john recruiting? -- No name, 21:33:31 06/30/25 Mon The teen room was in general very upset last night. I was a teen delegate and can say a lot of us felt cheated. Everyone knew Kate would win but I guess we were hoping for a fair shot. It is my 3rd year competing. Every year I win a small scholarship but never get top 10. I do everything I’m supposed to do. I am a size 6 though and now I realize I need to lose a lot of weight to be competitive. Next year I move into Miss. I want to compete but feel like what is the point. Everyone was saying the board brought Kate in to win and she was hand picked. It definitely seems like that. I had a great interview and was strong in every event. I’ve been here for 3 years but no one on the board knows who I am. (NT) -- No name, 11:51:32 06/29/25 Sun . -- No name, 12:35:00 06/29/25 Sun First off, you probably look great at a size 6! Any smaller and you might look unhealthy. Secondly, if that's the way the game is played, then play it! Make it your business to get to know the board. Insinuate yourself into every social situation where there is a board member present. Then you and your mama need to pounce! I'm very talented in my job, but I've had to spend an inordinate amount of time sucking up to the right people to get noticed and trust me, it works! It's unfortunate that you have to do that but that's the way the game is played.d (NT) -- No name, 14:04:29 06/29/25 Sun Re: NC has done it again -- No name, 12:27:59 06/29/25 Sun This just isn’t true. I’m a contestant and all though I knew kate was going to win I still knew she deserved it. She was kind but a little her self. That doesn’t give people permission to lie (NT) -- No name, 12:54:02 06/29/25 Sun I am a teen and thought Mary Michael was the stronger delegate. But also knew it was already determined (NT) -- No name, 12:57:47 06/29/25 Sun I met her mom during the week. The mom seemed nice so it would be hard to believe that she raised a little she devil. Also, unfortunately, the mom broke her foot during this week and was in a boot. (NT) -- No name, 13:53:16 06/29/25 Sun Re: NC has done it again -- No name, 12:28:23 06/29/25 Sun When they announced her during Miss none of the teens cheered (NT) -- No name, 12:36:54 06/29/25 Sun Re: When they announced her during Miss none of the teens cheered -- No name, 15:37:35 06/30/25 Mon What did she do (NT) -- No name, 04:21:56 07/01/25 Tue Absolutely agree that top 5 was stacked with those who were not strong enough to beat the one they wanted. I agree Sophia will make a great Miss NC. The issue is that we should be striving for a Miss America. Isn't that the ultimate goal? All of the candidates made comments that interviews were so simple, no tough questions which indicates NC doesn't want a smart woman who could potentially help put Miss NC as a standout at Miss A. Taylor stood out now we should strive to do that again. Last night there were a few girls that could have done just that but were left out of the top 5 for a reason. NC please do BETTER!! Loosing faith in this system. (NT) -- No name, 16:53:47 06/29/25 Sun In my opinion Lauryn Mallard was the answer to doing well at Miss America and the job. (NT) -- No name, 17:33:36 06/29/25 Sun She definitely has the beauty, but others that didn’t make Top 5 did as well. (NT) -- No name, 07:19:54 06/30/25 Mon Re: In my opinion Lauryn Mallard was the answer to doing well at Miss America and the job. -- No name, 11:17:22 06/30/25 Mon I think most of you have forgotten that there is a private interview that you know nothing about! It is won and lost in that room! And every single person that made finals interviews very well. Just being beautiful isn’t enough. Just being talented isn’t enough. Just being fit isn’t enough. If you don’t grab them on interview day, you can kiss finals goodbye! Too many of these girls put too much energy into their stage competitions and fail to put in the work where it really counts for their interview. With that said, I do believe that the most consistent girls with the strongest interviews rose to the top! As they should! That’s one thing they don’t have time to fix between now and Miss America! A dress can be changed in a day. Interview and talent…no real time for drastic changes! (NT) -- No name, 06:56:56 06/30/25 Mon ^^ THIS ^^ And that interview is 40% of the score. If you have a bad interview, you can't and shouldn't win. Period. (NT) -- No name, 08:05:02 06/30/25 Mon Interview is 30% and I heard it going down to 20% and OSQ is going up to 20%. But apparently 37 of the Miss contestants were not humble or kind, meaning Miss NC is full of conceited, over confident girls! (NT) -- No name, 09:30:21 06/30/25 Mon Carrie Everett's winning evening gown last year was $199. Sophia's pink gown was plain and had a zipper everyone could see from the balcony yet the judges who are 10 feet away didn't care about. Contestants need to learn that spending thousands of dollars at a gown store doesn't translate to success. It's about you, not the gown. (NT) -- No name, 08:02:36 06/30/25 Mon At work weekend, Susan told them they needed to come to state with Miss America ready wardrobe. So now they are penalized for following that directive? Sophia will get a free gown from a sponsor but it will be what they have on their showroom floor, basically what’s left over. She will have less options than she would have because there’s no time for a custom gown. Miss NC obviously doesn’t care what the gown looks like but Miss A does. If there was more time, it wouldn’t matter. (NT) -- No name, 08:18:06 06/30/25 Mon I actually liked Sophia's dress. The color was beautiful and many designers are now doing exposed zippers, so maybe that was intentional. It reminded me a little of Nina Davaluri's plain yellow gown by Gaspar Cruz. In any event, it obviously worked. She won gown andvthen "zipped" up the title for herself. Sorry, I couldn't resist.. (NT) -- No name, 08:44:37 06/30/25 Mon They didn’t say they didn’t like it but I’m sure she will get a new one for free from McKenzie Jades, anyway. Girls do everything they can to be competitive. The last two years it was cheap gowns in Miss but not in teen. If all the girls go out and buy cheap dresses, then next year it will be an expensive one that wins. But I have a question. If they don’t judge on beauty or the gown, what do they judge? Just the walk? I think that is the most subjective… (NT) -- No name, 13:20:06 06/30/25 Mon Miss NC won in June and went to Miss America at the end of August for years and years. And there was plenty of time for custom gowns to be created back then, and there is plenty of tie for a custom goown now. "No time" is just an excuse and a lack of trying/want to.

Subject: l# of Judges: Been reading the comments and conspiracy theories. I do think the biggest issue was the number of judges on both the Teen and Miss panels. Each had 5. MAO uses Olympic scoring where the higest and lowest scores are eliminated. That basically means only 3 judges are making the decisions. There should never be fewer than 7 judges at the state level. If only going with 5, all scores should be counted. I think you would have seen fewer ties and different top 10s.

Subject: If you’re not prepared to quit your job, it could hurt your chances if competing as a Miss in NC
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:43:22 06/30/25 Mon This year, the board had the girls turn in their “plans” if they were to win. They were asked point blank if they would quit their job or take a year off school if they won… out of the top 5 you have the winner who I’m guessing will quit her job if she has one, Hannah would probably quit hers and I don’t believe Lauren Mallard has a real job yet. Josie and Catherine are in college and would probably take the year off. The remaining top 5: Maura, Lauren, McKayla, D’Amrah all have started their adult careers and probably would not have quit their jobs. I think this most likely affected Abby Britt last year. I don’t blame the board for wanting this but they should be honest if it’s a factor the selection members takes into account. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Subject: Let’s take a Quick Look behind the curtain…
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 05:35:04 06/29/25 Sun Last nights results can be attributed to incredibly bad judging. They put an old board member on the panel, one who was thrown out for cheating along with former Miss NC org ED, Alan Klaus, Mike Golden and David Clegg. The Texas judge recently judged a state pageant with David Clegg and the Miss Michigan ED is friends with McNeil. They pick judges they can control and with 5 judges and high and low scores being dropped, only 3 scores are being counted resulting in numerous prelim ties. They stacked the top 5 (in Miss and Teen) with girls who can’t beat “the winner”. If you have ever watched Miss America, you know what they look for, someone who stands out on stage who is incredibly beautiful and who has made a real impact. Instead they got someone with no real style, with a boring overdone talent, who is obviously taking a weight loss drug and who exaggerates. I’m sure she started her CSI at 5 years old… there were a number of more beautiful and more accomplished girls, including Mallard, Westbrook, Walsh, Thomas, Foley. We need someone who will stand out. This system is flawed and controlled by individuals who pick their friends as judges. There is no hope for this organization. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Remember she was a local director for years, so knows what it's like to be disappointed that a girl doesnt win, make top ten, win a SS preliminary, etc. She expected a fair pageant when she was ED; I am certain she expects it to be a fair pageant now.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:17:44 06/27/25 Fri It’s that week when all you moms, coaches and committee members are anxiously trying to catch a glimpse of your obviously beautiful, smart and ridiculously talented young lady. You’re cheering loudly and strutting strong with your pins and poster boards in tow. AND THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY….you come on over to the Voy board. You anonymously post & reply with all the snark and nastiness that you hold in each evening while you attempt to look like a God fearing, southern Christian woman. What you need to absorb through the thick layer Aquanet and Maybelline is this: the judges don’t see your nasty comments. They aren’t reading the slander or your judgemental opinions. Your hate filled opinions are only being heard and seen by those that can’t change the outcome. The ladies are going to see your comments about their talent (or lack of), their fashion choices (or your hatred of a dress they dreamed of), and your gossip filled rants about something you heard or imagined up to hurt their reputation. Keep you unqualified and unchristian opinions to yourself or at least off the internet. Try enjoying your daughter’s delight at being part of Miss NC. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

We did have fun and if you didn’t (oh that’s right you aren’t participating nor is your daughter) if we weren’t having fun and winning scholarships and making lasting friendships we wouldn’t go back.

I bet with her expensive wardrobe you won’t break even, unless she won or maybe not even then. And that’s ok. By the way, People who don’t have daughters are allowed to support friends that do. If I had to guess, you’re the unhappy one, sweetie. Just let it go, you’ll eventually pay off your credit card. (NT) -- No name, 09:44:12 06/30/25 Mon First of all, it’s not about the dress. It’s about the girl wearing it! It’s been known for years that Sophia is has a very strong interview so no surprise there. Her talent was also amazing! That girl has put in the work more than most and she’s done it for years without giving up on her dream! I lot of girls were left standing because they didn’t impress in interview! Period. This year was a tight race, and there was no room for points lost in interview or anywhere else for that matter! The strongest and most consistent across the board rose to the top!

They’re not flawless. They make mistakes and there is clearly a lot of room for improvement. But when people like you spread fear-based bs it keeps people from speaking up about legitimate concerns because they’re afraid of retaliation. And that’s bullshit.

If this is the way of the future for the teen program then the age requirement should be changed. Now, I’m not saying the new Miss NC teen couldn’t win if she was younger because she’s clearly talented, smart and pretty. Her first year of college should be that of lots of fun connections with new people and spreading her wings not competing at Miss America teen. I wish, the program was truly a teen program 13-17!

I'll start! Josie Perdue, Miss Charlotte! Wow!! It was refreshing and encouraging to see a genuinely talented, beautiful and articulate young woman make top 5. You are a shining example of a contemporary young woman. With a few small tweaks and a little bit of polishing, you could rise back to the top and take the title. After some rest and reflection, if it's in your heart to return, Go for It!!!

Many agree Johnston County Teen is overrated and consistently wears an entire pallet of makeup daily. Miss Charlotte while her dance was great awkwardly stumbled through on stage question and still comes across as a teen with her answers and how she speaks. I disagree that Fayetteville Teen is the favorite. She did seem to be more engaged this evening but was wondering if she was planning to show up after last night. Who are cleveland teen and miss?

(NT) -- No name, 05:04:32 06/27/25 Fri I respectfully ask that the negative commentary stop. Remarks like these can discourage young women from returning to the pageant world. Based on what I saw, I don’t believe we were at the same event. Fay was absolutely outstanding—poised, polished, and in my opinion, a clear contender for the top five. Charlotte delivered an excellent performance; her dancing is always a joy to watch. Johnston Teen radiates beauty both inside and out and is genuinely kind-hearted. As for CH, I’ve followed her journey since she was a Carolina Princess. She is remarkably intelligent, and her red talent gown last night was one of the evening’s standout looks. It’s evident she’s worked very hard, and vocally, that was the strongest performance I’ve ever heard from her. (NT) -- No name, 04:52:35 06/27/25 Fri This person is obviously in envy of CH, I can tell you no one is taking a Xanax or is worried about how skimpy her gown will be, I am actually excited because she usually has an amazing wardrobe.

I have met Mom‘s, whose daughters have competed for several years and never placed in the top 10, but for some reason they keep coming back and spending more and more money and some delusional. Hope that this will be the year. I have also spoken to Mom’s, whose daughters clearly have no chance at top 10, but here they are on pins and needles Thinking it could happen. The whole thing is just sad. If my daughter ends up winning today I do not know what I am going to do because I do not want to be a part of this anymore. My daughter witnessed several girls making fun of another contestants weight backstage. Another contestant was openly drinking in the dressing room. This is not what they claim it is. What a joke. (NT) -- No name, 05:41:45 06/28/25 Sat And don’t get me started on these CSIs. Girls who live hundreds of miles from the place they supposedly serve. They may go there one time in a whole year to parade around in their fashion crown. And then they show up to Highpoint and talk about all they’ve done to serve the community that they visited maybe once. I know this is not all, but I also know that it is several. I sat through several On stage questions this week were girls I know did absolutely nothing talked like they were volunteer of the year. It is so fake it is nauseating. (NT) -- No name, 05:54:24 06/28/25 Sat Good luck to your girls today. I sure hope one of them wins so mine does not. In the future there needs to be some sort of fact checking on these ridiculous statistics these girls throw out On stage, that are so outlandish it’s laughable. Let’s get some verification next year, please. (NT) -- No name, 06:10:31 06/28/25 Sat New to the program? That’s how open prelims work. They don’t have to live in the same county to participate. It’s about community service where you’re at. You would be surprised at the number of volunteer hours spent that aren’t plastered on social media. If you have a specific desire for the title holder local to your town reach out to them and ask them for some dates they could serve your community. I can not imagine waking up on Saturday morning after my daughter put in time effort and hard work to say “I hope she doesn’t win” that would crush anyone’s spirit for their mama to be so ugly… about a pageant. MAO is a non profit organization but they have to raise the scholarship funds. My child’s participation in the program has paid for two years of tuition and she has enough left in her 529 for the coming year as well. And she’s only ever been in top 10. It’s not always about winning. It’s just a pageant. If you remember nothing else remember that. (NT) -- No name, 06:42:27 06/28/25 Sat Your daughter earned that much but how much have you spent? I agree - it’s just a pageant, like any other. (NT) -- No name, 06:56:53 06/28/25 Sat Well I would have to add it up for an exact number but we have found great deals on gowns. Interview we usually get something great at Dillards. Fitness we have used the same one several times. Talent we make or borrow from dance studio. We found sponsors and community members to support her through the whole experience. Definitely have not spent 20k but I see how you could easily if you aren’t guided by someone who knows how to navigate the system on a reasonable budget. (NT) -- No name, 07:12:42 06/28/25 Sat It's really your own fault in regard to expenses if you do not do your homework and find ways around breaking the bank. However, if you have raised a spoiled brat who cries and says her dress has to come from XY&z because everyone elses' does or if she has to have the 500 makeup job from Madam WhoseeWhatsee because nobody else is qualified to spread the goop on her face. Keep in mind, there's always someone willing to take your money. I work with contestants (very limited fees) and once found a gown at Goodwill for 20.00. We slapped some rhinestones on the straps for 10.00. She won her local in that dress, took it to state and finished 3rd runner up. It can be done (NT) -- No name, 09:15:21 06/28/25 Sat I agree. I think people are going in blind and not doing the research. They become followers instead of staying true them themselves and shopping where they want. I do understand using the sponsors but most of them will work with your budget if you tell them but at the end of the day they are a business and will sell you what you’re willing to buy. I’m blessed with daughters who understand finances and have always been gracious and as they got older worked and saved money to purchase the wardrobes they wanted. We all witnessed a Miss EG win last night with a very affordable dress. (NT) -- No name, 09:44:08 06/28/25 Sat Re: New to the program? That’s how open prelims work.

Our experience this year has been eye opening. They say you don’t need an expensive gown to win. Did anyone see the gowns on stage last night? Do not tell me you don’t need an expensive gown to compete. My daughter is probably not top 10 and I know we’ve spent over 20k on clothes and she looks poor compared to some of these other girls. This is a beauty pageant. Call it what you want but throwing a random 1k scholarship in there here and there doesn’t change it. (NT) -- No name, 06:35:43 06/28/25 Sat If you spent 20k on wardrobe someone misguided you. Yes we all saw the dresses last night .. but now let’s talk about the winners. The 10k dress on that stage didn’t win. The very simple not flashy dress won in Miss and the one Teen that won had the same dress last year it’s also not flashy or fancy. It’s not about the dress. Did you see the gown winners on night one? They weren’t the flashy ones either. The only really amazing dress that won evening gown was Miss night 2. This is a hard spot for a mom to watch her daughter be disappointed and it is quite an investment but your daughter should be learning and growing in the process. This might just not be the system for you but mom to mom advice give it a few days. Everyone is tired and emotionally drained. Try to find your peace this morning so your daughter can face today like the queen she already is & have fun. (NT) -- No name, 06:52:55 06/28/25 Sat The dresses in teen that have won are 💯 couture, Expensive gowns. (NT) -- No name, 07:16:04 06/28/25 Sat But not flashy and over the top.. the teens that won evening gown WALKED that WALK. It’s not about the dress… those teens could have walked in a paper bag and still won. The teens EG awards were all well deserved. One wore the same as last year so they have most definitely gotten their moneys worth she won EG two years in a row 🥳 I’d call that a win win no pun intended. (NT) -- No name, 07:26:34 06/28/25 Sat Another disillusioned teen mom here. Teen is more competitive than Miss every year. If you don’t have a custom dress, top shelf interview and talent outfit, extensive coaching on walk and interview, and expensive photos, not to mention top hair and makeup, you are not winning. It’s as simple as that. (NT) -- No name, 07:43:52 06/28/25 Sat If you’re looking for a pageant system that is a little “intense” look into Distinguished Young Woman. Did you really expect to come to the Preliminary pageant for Miss A or MA Teen and have spent money on all the things you mentioned? Of course you’re probably not going to win without training, prep and practice. Wardrobe can absolutely be done for less than 20k and still look amazing. I hate so many people are feeling this way this morning. I think our perspectives are just different. We’ve been doing this a long time and have seen the evolution of Miss NC. I genuinely hope all the contestants leave tonight feeling proud of themselves for trying something most would never! (NT) -- No name, 07:50:46 06/28/25 Sat I guess, because Miss North Carolina says they are a scholarship opportunity, not a beauty pageant, I just expected a different standard. More emphasis on actually doing community service, actually working in the community, and having knowledge in OSQ that is actually factual. Sure you need to have some training, but it has become clear this week that this is not about scholarship or community service or even being a genuine nice person. It’s a beauty pageant like all the others. I have also been alarmed at the extreme thinness of some of these girls. I even heard one who cannot weight more than 100lbs that she had wanted to lose 10 more. (NT) -- No name, 07:57:49 06/28/25 Sat That's because so many of you are brainwashed into thinking you have to go to a certain shop to purchase your dress. These are also the same folk who put Randolph County (who needed special attention) in the worst style possible for her body type. (NT) -- No name, 09:21:35 06/28/25 Sat Who??? Because that was a travesty!!!! Nothing would make me happier than seeing Randolph Miss and Teen in top 10! (NT) -- No name, 09:28:30 06/28/25 Sat Re: Who??? Because that was a travesty!!!!

Most of these girls are not nice people. It is a beauty contest. The things co testants do to rapidly lose weight, myself included, is alarming. Last year the week before Highpoint, I did not eat anything other than chicken broth. I was obsessed with my appearance to the point that I could not look in the mirror without seeing one flaw after another. I experienced another top 10 contestant misplacing my Formalwear shoes, the night of finals. Thankfully, I had another option. I found them after the show stuffed in a corner under trash. I can also attest that most contestants. (NT) -- No name, 08:29:01 06/28/25 Sat At least the ones I was with do minimal to no community service other than the random appearance here or there to take pictures and post on social media. There are a few who are serious about it, but they are the exception. I am tuning in today to support a dear friend of mine, who is one who has worked so hard for this for many years. I would never put my daughter in the system. (NT) -- No name, 08:30:33 06/28/25 Sat I never competed as a teen, but my experience last year was that the teens were much more caddy than the miss contestants, which is saying something. There is also a lot of behind the scene, snickering and making fun of contestants who are not super thin. One girl actually said that those contestants were there to provide People to make her and girls like her look better. It was very sad to me that those girls in their parents invested all of that time and money thinking that they had a chance when in reality they never did and we’re just made fun of. (NT) -- No name, 08:35:25 06/28/25 Sat Just wait until the winners today are scary skinny with fake boobs and a CSI that is non existent (anyone remember Carries). Fake tan making them look 10 shades darker, and yes betting her dress will be 5k+. (NT) -- No name, 09:39:54 06/28/25 Sat Re: Former miss contestant here. Competed last year and was top 10.

Subject: First Time Visiting.
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:00:29 06/29/25 Sun I had never even heard of this board until a few other titleholders mentioned it this week. I was curious what it was all about. And now that I’ve seen it for myself, I’m honestly disgusted. You sit behind a screen judging girls who showed up and gave everything they had. Girls who have dedicated years of their lives to this organization. Girls who have volunteered, raised money, made real change in their communities, and carried themselves with class and strength. And all you can talk about is how they looked in a dress. You are not clever. You are not important. You are bitter, jealous, and completely irrelevant to the actual purpose of this organization. While you’re busy ripping people apart, they are out there living with purpose. They are putting in the work. They are making memories that will last a lifetime. And all you will have is a comment on a message board that no one will remember and no one will care about. If your biggest accomplishment this week was anonymously insulting someone who had the courage to step on that stage, then I genuinely feel sorry for you. You could never do what these women did. And deep down, you know that. That’s why you’re here. Next time, say it to their faces. Say it to their mother’s faces. To their local directors faces. Don’t hide. Show who you REALLY are. You are not part of the sisterhood. You are not part of the solution. You are the problem. Do better. Or stay bitter. Either way, nobody’s listening. Thanks, from the Class of 2025.

Re: Teen Finals -- No name, 10:03:25 06/28/25 Sat What does everyone supposedly know? Do tell. (NT) -- No name, 20:10:59 06/28/25 Sat that john norris recruited kate ward himself and handed her over to cora. who is the most unfriendly and unkind human i have ever met. (NT) -- No name, 09:40:43 06/29/25 Sun Bless your dingbat heart! You clearly didn't think before you typed. John is recruting stage-ready girls to be in the program because expansion is part of his job. He recommended Kate to JoCo because her home area doesn't have many competitions to choose from, it was the earlier prelim of the season (she could go to Goldsboro next), and Cora has been in the org for many years. As for her character, I'm sorry she didn't kiss you on the mouth upon greeting, but I've had nothing but great encounters with Cora. Her pure intentions are highlighted by the fact that she continued to volunteer throughout a very dry spell for Joco contestants that has come to a pause for now. Maybe you're upset she didn't stoop to your level to bad mouth other candidates with you? (NT) -- No name, 10:36:19 06/29/25 Sun Okay Cora get your humongous panties out of a twist and realize that you are mean old bitty that is hateful to everyone but the person you think will win it for you. You have jon in the back of your pocket and you suck as a human. Just pure luck that you had hanley as a local high school pagent girl and kate handed to you on a silver platter by the state director. luck that is all you have, that and a serious huge chip on your shoulder. (NT) -- No name, 10:56:01 06/29/25 Sun First, you think a good woman like Cora would dignify such a hussy with a response? Second, You're such a moron, you can't even articulate why you're mad. Is it rigged by John and Cora as you implied, or is it "just luck"? Your confusion further points to what we all know-- you're a clueless, bitter woman just grasping at straws to try to understand how your baby didn't crack top 10. The MNC system is flawed; we all have gripes. But you'd be better served to make substantive arguments than to go so low as to direct your vitriol at a volunteer whose aim is to enrich the lives of young women. In case you need a translation because you didn't receive a good ole Joco education, courtesy of Vice Principal Cora: bullying wrong. Do better! (NT) -- No name, 11:11:59 06/29/25 Sun Oh, the irony. You accuse me of being the “mean girl” while you spiral into a tirade laced with personal insults condescension and wildly inaccurate assumptions. If you’re trying to be the poster child for grace and logic you might want to try again maybe next time without the name calling and sanctimonious tone. Let’s get something straight: I didn’t start this conversation but I absolutely agree with the sentiment. I simply echoed what many others are already whispering. (NT) -- No name, 11:45:42 06/29/25 Sun If that rattles you maybe it’s because there’s truth in it.Let’s stop pretending this system is immune to critique just because someone is a volunteer. It doesn’t give you immunity from accountability. “grasping at straws” while you write a dissertation trying to discredit me? That’s hysterical.Your dramatic attempt to paint yourself & committee as victims of some unjust slander is comedy. Because from here it looks like you’re not offended you’re exposed. Before you throw around tired lines about “doing better,” take your own advice. Maybe reel in the theatrics, sit with the criticism for a minute, and consider that if so many people are questioning the same things it might not just be “bitterness.” It might just be the truth finally getting loud.

It’s hard to watch your daughter be disappointed. JoCo is clearly doing something very right and preparing their girls and recruiting girls that are ready to work!

(NT) -- No name, 15:44:19 06/28/25 Sat They really really suck at picking judges (NT) -- No name, 20:45:42 06/28/25 Sat They aren’t bad at it.

(NT) -- No name, 21:13:57 06/28/25 Sat They planned this all the way from work weekend (NT) -- No name, 21:59:38 06/28/25 Sat How? Most judges panels are national and chances are gotten through networking at Miss America. That means the majority of the panel was picked well before WWE. (NT) -- No name, 22:34:49 06/28/25 Sat Honestly, why does anybody compete as a teen anymore in NC. Rarely does the best candidate win. The scholarship money that was announced at the state level is piddly bullshit compared to the amount of money spent to get there. I am not saying there are not good things that are byproducts of competing but NC is a shining example of everything that is wrong with the current pageant system. It’s the same politics, same players, same sponsors and same bs that has permeated NC for years. (NT) -- No name, 06:13:50 06/29/25 Sun So lets get this straight the Miss North Carolina Organization makes each prelim have a judges chair who picks judges and isn't supposed to discuss who they are or how to pick them, however at the state level John recruits contestants he like and he also picks the judges? What do we see wrong with this issue? (NT) -- No name, 09:48:24 06/29/25 Sun Kate won Miss High School America which is a VERY competitive pageant. NC was not "fixed." She is clearly a beautiful and talented girl who has proven herself on a national stage, and many are just upset she came in and won NC on her first try. I am surprised two double prelim winners didn't make Top 10... strange. (NT) -- No name, 10:48:41 06/29/25 Sun Fan-freaking-tastic! She is lovely but she is also mean ask all the other teens.

(NT) -- No name, 18:46:18 06/20/25 Fri I have heard that Patsy distributes the contestants in such a way between her 3 Miss titles to guarantee a top returning contestant will win without canceling out someone else.

But it's also a little manipulative because unless a newbie is factory hardwired for pageants, very rarely is she going to beat an experienced vet, so she should be aware of that. That being said, Patsycomes across as very rude. Not one of my favorite people. (NT) -- No name, 08:41:40 06/24/25 Tue Its against the rules. Stacking isn't allowed. The girls are supposed to pick the titles they compete for blindly which is why what they are doing is wrong.

What's up with the arm wrestling over the mic during the second question on the CSI competition?

The emcees give them the mic for the first part but then take back control for the second part.

I thought a couple of times that it was goingvto turn into a full scale arm wrestling match between Heather French an couple of girls.

Perhaps that's why Heather's arms are so toned
She is hard core about that mic control.

Do they at least tell the girls backstage not to reach for it, as 90% do.

They should just tell them it ain't gonna happen.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:52:59 06/26/25 Thu The three women who tied for gown looked great...beautiful. However, in my opinion, those were three of the weakest gowns I've seen in a long time. None of the three gowns actually flattered the contestants. Still...I hope each of them does very well in the competition. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

(NT) -- No name, 11:39:23 02/05/25 Wed JP held her head high. Meghan Gadsden walked out of the theatre bawling her eyes out when she got runner up to Harley. (NT) -- No name, 15:12:26 02/05/25 Wed I didn’t notice any eye rolling from MMM but I was too busy watching Kameron’s reaction and my eyes were watering from the joy for her. JP was hurt but she held it together and was a gracious 1st runner up. I didn’t see MG leaving in tears but give them a little break… that’s hard to put your all into something and get so close. Tears are given to us for a reason and it’s ok to cry! MG clearly picked her self up and dried those tears and is now a Miss competing in Miss Tennessee and from what I’ve seen on social media doing very well in college. Why is it not ok to be upset or hurt? I agree bad behavior isn’t acceptable but emotions are real and tears are ok sometimes. (NT) -- No name, 18:15:39 02/05/25 Wed I also saw her pought and sit with HH at Miss finals instead of the other teens. I don't have a child in this fight so don't come at me. I am just expressing how that looked to the pageant community. Spoiled brat, diva, poor loser, I can continue. She showed her butt and her true colors. NC deserves better.

If you only had all the facts before you make assumptions. (NT) -- No name, 16:36:51 02/05/25 Wed I saw the same thing the OP did. There was an extra seat because the extra teen Kamryn didn't sit with the teens in the pit. There was an extra seat, all the teens talk about her behavior. There is no misconception here. Just Ms. McLamb trying to make excuses for her daughters terrible behavior that most of the auditorium and all of the teens witnessed. (NT) -- No name, 17:59:16 02/05/25 Wed* your’re actually delusional , you know nothing about the seats and you must be a teen contestant who was sitting down there and to know all the teens were talking about her. Again she was TOLD to sit there, get your facts in order (NT) -- No name, 18:18:49 02/05/25 Wed All I remember is the huge eye roll she gave when Kamryn was announced as the winner. It was blown up on video for all to see (NT) -- No name, 18:20:42 02/05/25 Wed I am certainly not a teen and per to original posted comment neither are they. Ma'am we just call it like we see it. Seems suspicious that they randomly chose MM to sit somewhere else. Sure you keep telling yourself this story and maybe convince someone dumb enough to believe it. (NT) -- No name, 18:36:26 02/05/25 Wed An eye roll doesn’t equal a diva, witnessing someone for 4 days at competition doesn’t give anyone the right to judge a single teen as a diva.

Once at a fashion show I was in, she was so disrespectful to not only her mother, but others in the show. Miss NC better hope they don't get her. I do know there was a case of bullying brought against her from another contestant at State last year. This was told by multiple contestants (NT) -- No name, 07:18:51 02/03/25 Mon I have heard the same thing. (NT) -- No name, 07:46:32 02/03/25 Mon Sarah Beth Howard is awful! (NT) -- No name, 08:36:00 02/03/25 Mon Re: I've always found Sarah Beth to be very kind. When I competed with her at Miss NC, she stayed with a select few. I think her being focused on her goal during pageant week comes across as not nice, but that's not the case (NT) -- No name, 09:30:00 02/03/25 Mon I know Keelie personally and am beyond tired of this storyline. Is she honest to a fault, yes! But is she an intentional bully, NO! Move along and put your target on someone else's back. She is kind hearted and cheers for her sister queens more than anyone I have ever met. SHUT UP! (NT) -- No name, 11:12:01 02/03/25 Mon I saw Keelie firsthand in the fashion show held in January of 2023 for McKenzie Jades. She was using GD and MF all over the dressing room...especially to her mother. It's not gossip or bashing her. The truth is the truth and everyone that participated knows it happened. (NT) -- No name, 12:40:37 02/03/25 Mon Okay so what!?! She curses, she knows when and where that is acceptable just like you and I do. I curse but I know the time and place. Pretty sure you are also giving away who you are with this post too. I was there and I bet I could say your name because you are a very well known 'Keelie hater' and create lies to make yourself feel better about the fact that you will never be able to beat her on skill alone. Risky don't you think? (NT) -- No name, 16:16:04 02/03/25 Mon I don’t care whose mouth it’s coming out of! It sounds like you think it’s ok to drop MF and GD at an organization sponsor? Is that the look we want for people to model? (NT) -- No name, 17:42:51 02/03/25 Mon Clutch your pearls somewhere else. I am sure she knows when its appropriate and when its not. She and MJ have a good relationship (yes I know her that well) and she used to work there before she was QC. So shut up... you look foolish. It is 2025, your fragility is ridiculous! (NT) -- No name, 18:25:36 02/03/25 Mon So you think it’s ok to drop MF and GD in this setting? Help me understand where the pearls come into play? You are part of a bigger problem. (NT) -- No name, 18:36:49 02/03/25 Mon No you are the piece of crap in this situation! You rather bad mouth people and make up fairy tales with your name unattached and gaslight everyone else that Keelie is the problem. No hoe people like you are the problem. That rather come on here and hide behind a computer screen and talk nasty about other people with zero proof. You suck as a human and really YOU are the bully in this situation.

You are literally pointing the finger at others while participating in cyberbullying? Maybe you should have some self evaluation before pointing the fingers at others. (NT) -- No name, 06:11:49 02/04/25 Tue I’m not sure that kind of behavior is what the organization or most people want as Miss NC. (NT) -- No name, 04:33:45 02/04/25 Tue Because I am sure your untalented daughter is a much better option I am sure. (NT) -- No name, 06:13:22 02/04/25 Tue So I was also at that fashion show backstage and I don’t care who it is that backstage at that fashion show was absolutely not the time nor the place for that language. There were girls of all ages in that fashion show even some of the Carolina Stars participated. This isn’t intended to bash anyone at all but I can positively promise you that was not the appropriate behavior for that situation. That’s an easy fix though with self control. (NT) -- No name, 20:39:45 02/03/25 Mon This is the oddest thing to me. My daughter who was 6 participated in the show and she had a blast. Ironically the only photo I got of her was with Keelie and she took the time to bend down and talk to my daughter. I feel like this is an attack based on personal jealousy. (NT) -- No name, 03:02:40 02/04/25 Tue It’s amazing that we are concerned about girls who go to school hearing “bad words” at a pageant but not the mental health and eating disorders…. Get a fucking life people. (NT) -- No name, 03:58:33 02/04/25 Tue I was also there that day and do not recall hearing a bad word come out of her mouth. I also have a few pictures of her with my daughter after she won the QC title and have always thought she was a lovely young lady. (NT) -- No name, 06:16:24 02/04/25 Tue Your daughter must not have been in the dressing room I was in. I have no issue with Keelie, but her language and attitude at that show was not appropriate. Hopefully she's grown in the last two years and that's behind her (NT) -- No name, 10:29:59 02/04/25 Tue Sounds like you are full of crap considering there are several people who dispute your claim, one of which says she changed beside her. Proving you are just making up lies. Maybe instead of investing time dredging up possible mistakes of others pasts or just plain gossip to use against them so your daughter may have a shot at the title you just invest that time in her or in prayer. (NT) -- No name, 12:38:13 02/04/25 Tue well I participated and changed clothes next to her and this is not true. (NT) -- No name, 02:49:46 02/04/25 Tue Her mother is the problem, not her (NT) -- No name, 03:54:32 02/04/25 Tue Lets not confuse things, you are the problem here!!! This is mean girl, bullying BS. I am her friend and this is nasty bullying behavior. She is one of the biggest hearted people I know. She would give you the shirt off her back, solve every problem to make your life better, and have your back in any dispute. Loyal to a fault and her best quality she doesn't get on this board at talk crap about others hiding behind a keyboard. You are the bully and the problem!!! Butthole! (NT) -- No name, 06:09:01 02/04/25 Tue We have to remember something. You are a product of your environment. She comes from a nasty momma, so she’s likely just as Nasty! (NT) -- No name, 20:50:22 02/06/25 Thu I really feel sorry for you as a human because you really suck and your life must be so sad! It takes someone with absolutely no heart and soul to come on here and talk about children like this. These are real people with feelings and your hate, jealousy and bullying behavior makes you the nastiest person of all. There is clearly a group of people who spend their time on this board being bullies and then there is a group of us who spend our time trying to combat your nasty comments. How about you do us all a favor and shut up! (NT) -- No name, 21:03:21 02/09/25 Sun Now that we’ve established the divas… Who are the BEST to work with? (NT) -- No name, 10:32:28 02/03/25 Mon Make sure you take note that the two young ladies who were 1st Runner-Ups are being labeled as bullies. Ya'll are pathetic at best, come up with a better storyline already. (NT) -- No name, 11:06:18 02/03/25 Mon Isnt it ironic that the girls that the keyboard warriors like to list are always the front runners in the competition. Meanwhile my experience on a committee is that the ones who aren't listed are the most difficult, insecure, and problematic. The girls who pretend to be so sweet and then refuse to do wardrobe showings, mock interviews, and try and stir rumors on their sister queens. Yes sir I have seen it all. Petty Petty Petty. My personal favorite are the girls who have anti-bullying platforms but they themselves are bullies and the ones who never show up for anything but post on social media to make it look like they do all these things but don't. But for every diva there is a genuine titleholder that works hard and shows up. Those are the girls that keep us volunteers coming back year after year. If you think this could be you, it probably is. Do better! Signed, A Former Committee Member (NT) -- No name, 11:26:57 02/03/25 Mon Agree!! What about those who refuse to even show their committee their dresses or routines. Or those that actively undercut others. (NT) -- No name, 08:52:54 02/05/25 Wed Refusing to do a wardrobe showing is beyond diva behavior in my book. These committees work hard for titleholders all year long. Honestly that is just plain disrespectful. (NT) -- No name, 12:17:03 02/05/25 Wed There’s 2 teens this year that I know of refusing to participate in a wardrobe showing!! (NT) -- No name, 16:28:02 02/05/25 Wed I'm curious—what value do you see in keeping this post up? Rather than uplifting others, it seems to promote ill will towards young women and creates division among competitors and their families. (NT) -- No name, 12:25:02 02/03/25 Mon There really is nothing constructive about talking about contestants like this. I I appreciate discuss the strength and perhaps even weaknesses when it comes to competition, and how you think placement will go. But at some point it is most definitely cyber bullying (NT) -- No name, 12:25:48 02/03/25 Mon It’s 99% bullying on here, but that’s the point. They want to tear down strong competitors.

(NT) -- No name, 16:15:27 02/06/25 Thu As lovely as Rader is (and she is very sweet, respectful and smart) I disagree that she will win this.

I might change my mind after watching the prelim nights but I as of right now she is in my winners spot.

I felt so sorry for his titleholders, especially the first ones. I heard they caught hell and succeeded in spite of him. (NT) -- No name, 11:21:46 02/05/25 Wed What about the one teen who is rude to her mother, is a terrible competitor, sore loser, and basically illiterate. Every post has at least 2 grammatical errors.

*What is Flash Bitcoin?*

"Flash Bitcoin" (often abbreviated as Flash BTC) is a term used in some online circles to describe a purported tool or software that allows users to generate or earn Bitcoin instantly through a simple, automated process. These systems are typically advertised as fast, easy-to-use applications—sometimes referred to as "Flash Core BTC Software"—that claim to provide users with free or low-cost access to Bitcoin through a streamlined interface.

It's important to note that there is no legitimate technology known as "Flash Bitcoin" within the official cryptocurrency ecosystem. Bitcoin operates on a decentralized blockchain network, and new coins are generated through a computationally intensive process called mining. Any service claiming to offer free or instant Bitcoin generation without proof-of-work, purchase, or real transaction should be approached with extreme caution.

Some platforms, such as *http://Fasthubtrade.com*, market products like "Flash Bitcoin Generator Software" or "Flash USDT," promising users the ability to generate digital assets quickly. While these claims may sound appealing, especially to newcomers, they often fall into the category of misleading marketing or outright scams. These sites may request personal information, wallet addresses, or even upfront payments in exchange for access to non-existent tools.

If you're interested in acquiring Bitcoin, it's always safer and more reliable to use trusted methods such as:

- Buying Bitcoin on reputable exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken.
- Earning Bitcoin through freelance work, business transactions, or online platforms that pay in crypto.
- Participating in staking or yield farming through verified DeFi platforms.

For those still curious about experimental or educational tools, visiting sites like *http://Fasthubtrade.com* should be done with due diligence and skepticism. Always research user reviews, verify the legitimacy of the platform, and never share private wallet keys or personal data lightly.

In conclusion, while the idea of "Flash Bitcoin" may seem enticing, it’s crucial to understand how cryptocurrency works before engaging with any third-party service. Stick to proven, transparent, and secure methods of acquiring Bitcoin to protect your investments and personal information.

*What is Flash Bitcoin?*

"Flash Bitcoin" (often abbreviated as Flash BTC) is a term used to describe certain online services or software tools that claim to help users generate or earn Bitcoin quickly and effortlessly. While the name might suggest an innovative or high-speed method of acquiring cryptocurrency, in practice, these platforms are often associated with scams, misleading marketing tactics, or fraudulent schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting users.

Many websites use the concept of "Flash Bitcoin" to lure people into downloading fake software, completing surveys, or entering wallet addresses—only to steal personal information, spread malware, or run phishing scams. Real Bitcoin acquisition requires legitimate methods such as mining, trading, investing, or earning through work or services.

However, there are platforms that offer tools and educational resources for managing and optimizing cryptocurrency investments. One such platform is *http://Fasthubtrade.com*, which presents itself as a provider of crypto-related software and services. According to its website, FastHubTrade offers various products like "FlashCore BTC Software" and other tools that may appeal to both novice and experienced crypto users.

It's important to approach such platforms with caution and due diligence. Always verify the authenticity of any service claiming to offer ways to generate or manage Bitcoin. Research user reviews, ensure the site uses secure connections (HTTPS), and never share sensitive personal or financial information without confirming the legitimacy of the recipient.

If you're interested in exploring tools or services related to Bitcoin, visit *http://Fasthubtrade.com* to learn more about what they offer. But remember: when it comes to cryptocurrency, there are no shortcuts to wealth, and real results come from informed decisions, not magic apps or instant generators.

In conclusion, while "Flash Bitcoin" may sound appealing, it’s often linked to deceptive practices. Always prioritize security, education, and trusted platforms when navigating the world of cryptocurrency.

*What is Flash Bitcoin?*

"Flash Bitcoin" (often abbreviated as Flash BTC) is a term used to describe certain online platforms or software that claim to offer users the ability to generate or earn Bitcoin quickly and effortlessly. These services are often marketed with flashy websites, exaggerated promises, and testimonials that suggest users can accumulate significant amounts of Bitcoin in a short time.

One such platform is *http://Fasthubtrade.com*, which presents itself as a provider of advanced tools for generating and managing cryptocurrency. On their site, you'll find various products like "Flash Bitcoin 2," "Flash USDT 2," and premium software packages such as "Flashcore BTC Software." These tools are advertised as innovative solutions for earning digital currency using proprietary algorithms or trading mechanisms.

However, it's essential to approach these claims with caution. While Fasthubtrade.com may present itself as a legitimate crypto service provider, there is no verified evidence that these tools actually generate free Bitcoin or profits without user investment. In most cases, platforms like this either require initial deposits, function as affiliate marketing schemes, or are outright scams designed to collect personal data or payments.

Bitcoin generation, in reality, requires mining, purchasing, or earning through services—there is no magic app or "flash" method to create it out of thin air. If Fasthubtrade.com offers trading bots or investment programs, they should be treated like any other financial opportunity: thoroughly researched, verified, and approached with due diligence.

If you're interested in exploring what *http://Fasthubtrade.com* has to offer, always proceed with skepticism. Check reviews, look into their terms of service, and never invest more than you can afford to lose. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true—like getting free Bitcoin instantly—it probably is.

For those looking to learn more or try the platform, visit:

Why Choose Flash USDT?
In a landscape filled with cryptocurrency options, you might wonder: what makes USDT FLASH stand out? Here are some key features that differentiate this service from others:

Temporary Nature: One of the most distinctive characteristics of USDT FLASH is that it is designed to disappear from any wallet after a period of ten days. This unique feature ensures that any assets received in USDT FLASH will not linger indefinitely, creating a dynamic and engaging transaction experience.
Limited Transfers: USDT FLASH can be transferred up to 12 times before it is no longer valid. This limitation is crucial for users who value control over their transactions, ensuring that the currency can be exchanged but within a confined framework. After reaching the transfer limit, the USDT FLASH will become inactive, further enhancing the asset’s exclusivity.
Versatility: flash usdt is not just limited to its original form. Users can convert it into any other cryptocurrency available on exchanges. However, it is essential to note that if the converted coin is restored to flash usdt, it too will follow the same ten-day disappearance rule.

Crypto Recovery Software
In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, the potential for loss is a reality that many users face. Whether it’s due to forgotten passwords, accidental transfers, or outright theft, losing access to your digital assets can be a traumatic experience. This is where crypto recovery software comes into play, offering powerful tools and services designed to help individuals reclaim their lost or stolen funds. In this extensive guide, we will explore the functionalities of crypto recovery software, the services available, and the reasons why utilizing these resources can be crucial for crypto holders.

▎Understanding Crypto Recovery Software

▎What is Crypto Recovery Software?

Crypto recovery software is specialized technology designed to help users recover lost or stolen cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional financial assets, cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks, making recovery processes unique and often more complex. This software can delve deep into wallets — even those that have already transferred funds to other wallets — offering users a chance to reclaim their assets.

▎Key Features of Crypto Recovery Software

1. Deep Wallet Search: One of the most significant advantages of crypto recovery software is its ability to search deeper into wallets. This means it can identify funds that have been transferred elsewhere, potentially leading to successful recovery even after transactions have occurred.

2. Multi-Currency Support: The best crypto recovery software can recover various cryptocurrencies, from Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum (ETH) and beyond. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for users holding multiple types of digital assets.

3. Multiple Wallet Recovery: Users can recover funds from more than one wallet simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for investors who may have diversified their portfolios across several wallets.

4. Zero-Balance Wallet Recovery: Perhaps one of the most impressive capabilities is the ability to trace and recover funds from wallets that currently show a zero balance. If funds have been transferred to another wallet, specialized algorithms can track these movements and potentially recover the lost assets.

5. High-Value Recovery: Some software solutions are capable of recovering significant amounts of cryptocurrency — more than 10 BTC — making them suitable for serious investors who may have substantial holdings.

▎What Are Crypto Recovery Services?

▎Definition and Scope

Crypto recovery services are specialized companies that focus on assisting individuals in recovering lost or stolen cryptocurrency. These services employ a variety of techniques and tools tailored to different loss scenarios, ensuring that clients have the best chance of reclaiming their assets.

▎Techniques Used by Recovery Services

1. Password Recovery: Many users lose access to their wallets due to forgotten passwords. Recovery services often use advanced algorithms and brute-force techniques to recover these passwords.

2. Wallet Recovery: If a wallet file is corrupted or lost, recovery services can often restore it using specialized tools that analyze wallet structures and transaction histories.

3. Forensic Analysis: In cases of theft, forensic analysis may be employed to trace stolen funds across the blockchain. This involves examining transaction histories and identifying wallet addresses involved in the theft.

4. Collaboration with Law Enforcement: For serious cases involving theft, some recovery services collaborate with law enforcement agencies to investigate further and potentially recover stolen assets.

▎Why Use a Crypto Recovery Service?

▎Expertise and Resources

One of the primary reasons for utilizing a crypto recovery service is the expertise they offer. These companies employ professionals who are well-versed in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency transactions. They possess specialized tools that may not be available to the average user, significantly increasing the chances of successful recovery.

▎Peace of Mind

The world of cryptocurrency can be overwhelming, especially for those who are not technically inclined. Engaging a recovery service allows individuals to step back and let experienced professionals handle the complexities of asset recovery. This peace of mind can be invaluable during a stressful time.

▎Efficiency

Time is often of the essence when it comes to recovering lost or stolen cryptocurrency. Recovery services have streamlined processes and established methodologies that allow them to act quickly, increasing the likelihood of reclaiming assets before they become irretrievable.

▎How Do Crypto Recovery Services Work?

▎Initial Consultation

When you first reach out to a crypto recovery service, the process typically begins with an initial consultation. During this stage, you will provide detailed information about your situation, including:

– The type of cryptocurrency involved
– The circumstances surrounding the loss (e.g., hacking, forgotten passwords)
– Any relevant account details or transaction histories

The more information you provide, the better equipped the recovery team will be to assist you effectively.

▎Assessment and Strategy Development

Once the recovery service has gathered sufficient information, they will assess your case and develop a tailored strategy for recovery. This may involve:

– Utilizing specialized software to recover lost passwords
– Conducting forensic analysis on transaction histories
– Identifying potential avenues for recovering stolen funds

▎Execution of Recovery Process

After formulating a strategy, the recovery service will initiate the recovery process. This may include:

– Attempting password recovery using advanced algorithms
– Analyzing transaction data to trace lost funds
– Collaborating with law enforcement if theft is suspected

Throughout this process, the recovery service will keep you updated on their progress and any developments in your case.

▎The Importance of Security in Crypto Recovery

▎Data Protection

Given the sensitive nature of cryptocurrency transactions, security is paramount in the recovery process. Reputable recovery services implement robust data protection measures to ensure that your personal information remains confidential throughout the recovery process.

▎Transparency

A trustworthy crypto recovery service will maintain transparency with clients regarding their methods and progress. They should provide clear communication about what steps are being taken and any challenges encountered along the way.

▎Choosing the Right Crypto Recovery Service

▎Research and Reviews

When selecting a crypto recovery service, it’s essential to conduct thorough research. Look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge the effectiveness and reliability of the service.

▎Credentials and Experience

Consider the credentials and experience of the team behind the service. Look for professionals with a strong background in cybersecurity, blockchain technology, and forensic analysis.

▎Cost Structure

Different recovery services may have varying cost structures. Some may charge a flat fee, while others may take a percentage of recovered assets. Ensure you understand the pricing model before engaging their services.

Just watched an old '79 tape where Dakeita competed as Charlotte. I always thought she made Top 10. Wonder why she didn't try again, before she won CT. Do you have the locals and state rankings for Quinn and Goins. I know they both went multiple times. It's a literal crime that O'Quinn did not win at some point. (NT) -- No name, 12:51:43 06/11/25 Wed I'm pretty sure Dakeita competed again in 1981 and was Top Ten (NT) -- No name, 07:09:18 06/12/25 Thu That's what I was thinking. There is no '81 tape available, but I could have sworn she was Miss Charlotte when she made Top 10. However, she is Miss Charlotte on the '79 tape when she didn't. Was she Miss Charlotte twice? I know you used to be able to hold a title more than once.

Subject: 1984 Pageant
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:26:56 06/09/25 Mon Someone graciously just uploaded several past Miss NC Pageants on You Tube. I love watching old pageants, even if I know the outcome. I have a question for some of the old time fans of Miss NC. I just watched the 1984 pageant which was won by Francesca Adler. The original tape must have had a glitch at the end because they announced Nina Gilreath, Miss Elkin Valley as 4th RU, then skipped directly to the crowning. Does anyone remember the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st RUs? This is one of the years that the legendary Patricia O'Quinn competed and I would love to know how she finished. Thank you.

She is a pretty young lady, but as for the other system she was an appointed title. Other than that I’m not sure of her other pageant experience. I can say without any doubt that a MNC committee member would not publicly say that out loud or to anyone in public so please stop. Thanks for coming to my VOY TALK.

Sounds like a little jealousy in your tone, you know you can get some too. (NT) -- No name, 11:15:55 03/06/25 Thu I am not jealous of women who look like trash.... But good try! (NT) -- No name, 11:43:35 03/06/25 Thu I think Hailey has done an excellent job making herself look more Miss America and less USA. She is also one of the most active local titleholders. Your jealousy is definitely showing! (NT) -- No name, 11:44:44 03/06/25 Thu Did Hailey Hudson compete at Miss NC USA? (NT) -- No name, 19:12:43 04/21/25 Mon I don’t think so, but she def should! (NT) -- No name, 16:07:46 05/18/25 Sun Why are you so obsessed about her "TITS" as you call them? That is CREEPY! Do you like stare at them when you see her? I have never seen her dress inappropriate or have them falling out. I would be worried about you possibly being a stalker. I've only known Hudson to be a very classy young lady, she very smart, in Law School, but I'm sure you know that since your so worried about her. Your comment wreaks of JEALOUSY! The word "TITS" in itself shows your class. Get a life and stop trying to bring these young women down. It's disgusting! (NT) -- No name, 13:11:08 03/06/25 Thu BAM! 💥 🎤 drop!

I guess she doesnt have to considering Taylor had them too. -- No name, 00:46:24 04/30/25 Wed I agree, SHAME ON YOU! (NT) -- No name, 11:49:30 05/22/25 Thu Orange Co Teen is not a dark horse. Not this year. Don’t see Top 10 with OC. Lots of potential but too many teens competing this year with solid consistency across the board. (NT) -- No name, 11:06:40 03/22/25 Sat I’ve heard she’s been putting in some good work and has grown a lot. I’m not saying she’s going to win the whole thing, but I wouldn’t count her out. (NT) -- No name, 11:19:51 03/22/25 Sat I think she has a good voice and could possibly win talent. However, desperately needs a new song. Orange Colored Sky has been performed at least 100 million times in pageants and I think I've heard 996, 324,581 versions personally. (NT) -- No name, 12:59:54 03/22/25 Sat Never said she didn’t have a great talent. Also never said she hadn’t been working hard. In my opinion is not Top 10 and there are more than 10 talents that would beat her if it was all based on talent. If she wins I’ll be super happy for her but I don’t see her moving to finals night (maybe if there is a Top 15 maybe) (NT) -- No name, 13:40:26 03/22/25 Sat I actually heard she is doing Orange Colored Sky again. It’s a shame. She has a good voice, but a bad song. (NT) -- No name, 09:02:23 03/23/25 Sun That's a shame. She's pretty girl and does a good job with the song, but it's just so overdone. She managed to pull off a win at Orange County against that girl that everyone said was the reincarnation of Hanley House, so she must have something special the judges saw. She just really needs a new song (NT) -- No name, 11:05:06 03/23/25 Sun Re: I actually heard she is doing Orange Colored Sky again. It’s a shame. She has a good voice, but a bad song. -- No name, 12:03:24 03/23/25 Sun Re: I actually heard she is doing Orange Colored Sky again. It’s a shame. She has a good voice, but a bad song. -- No name, 14:35:59 03/23/25 Sun Overdone? When was the last time you heard someone sing or dance to Orange Colored Sky at the state pageant in just the last 10 years? In the last 20 years? If you can name someone, tell us. (NT) -- No name, 15:31:21 03/23/25 Sun I’ve never heard that song, lol (NT) -- No name, 16:45:21 03/23/25 Sun You’ve not been in pageant land long ? (NT) -- No name, 00:44:27 03/24/25 Mon Who else has sang this song? (NT) -- No name, 09:34:59 03/24/25 Mon When was the last time you actually heard this song in compettiion in NC. And who sang/danced to it? My guess is you can't name anyone because it's actually not used. As for the person who has never heard it, it's an old Natalie Cole song. (NT) -- No name, 14:07:26 03/24/25 Mon I just looked it up, Nat King Cole sang it beautifully!! (NT) -- No name, 14:59:46 03/24/25 Mon Most people probably know his daughter's version. Regardless which version, it is most definitely not an overused song in NC. (NT) -- No name, 15:06:06 03/24/25 Mon That's a good theory, except these judges judge all over. While it may not have been overused in NC, you can bet a dollar to a donut they've heard it many times elsewhere. It was also more prevalent in pageants 10-15 years ago then seemed to slack off. (NT) -- No name, 11:29:24 04/05/25 Sat Heard this song in competition at Goldsboro this year. (NT) -- No name, 15:14:15 04/17/25 Thu Apparently she’s “In her orange era” She’ll probably come out with an orange outfit for everything 🙄 (NT) -- No name, 05:04:34 03/28/25 Fri Re: Apparently she’s “In her orange era” She’ll probably come out with an orange outfit for everything 🙄 -- No name, 10:15:13 03/28/25 Fri Put the crown on Keelie Jones…..great talent, graceful and poised, looks the part (NT) -- No name, 16:25:05 04/06/25 Sun But is NOT close to being ready for Fitness. - She will absolutely clap at Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 07:02:59 04/14/25 Mon What about a girl that actually does appearances and has a heart for service? (NT) -- No name, 17:54:19 04/06/25 Sun Abby Britt isn't in the pageant this year. (NT) -- No name, 11:24:32 04/14/25 Mon Ya'll don't want to really talk about those titleholders, because for the most part they aren't on your lists above. Yes there are a couple exceptions but the ones who are really working and not trying to be a "look at me" social media influencer, don't get any attention. (NT) -- No name, 17:46:29 04/20/25 Sun I want Lauryn Mallard to win (NT) -- No name, 13:47:00 04/22/25 Tue Lauryn Mallard is a mean girl. She hides it well but she talks so much crap about all her sister queens of which 99% is not even true. She is as fake as they come, beware.. (NT) -- No name, 11:20:02 05/25/25 Sun That’s interesting. I’ve never heard that. I was wondering what she does for a living/job. She’s been out of college for a few years, I think. (NT) -- No name, 04:10:00 05/29/25 Thu Re: Way too Early……….Top 10 Predictions -- No name, 08:41:59 04/23/25 Wed I’m not completely disagreeing with you but don’t give the hype from this board too much consideration. Almost everyone posting is “supporting” their girl and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. Nothing against Kellstrom, she’s a long time competitor, but she’s never beat Hannah Lewis, Keelie or either Lauryn/Lauren. The bottom line is that this pageant, like most others, will be won in the interview room and on the stage. If the board gets it right this year, they will be looking at the Top 10 at Miss America, their beauty, talent, stage presence and looking for a girl who can hold her own on that stage. It’s not easy, most get lost in the crowd at Miss America. All the “lists” here are people’s biased opinions. (NT) -- No name, 10:41:32 04/23/25 Wed Re: Way too Early……….Top 10 Predictions -- No name, 17:09:40 04/23/25 Wed Both Sophia & Keelie would clap at Miss America, and their mothers will be screaming rigged from the ceilings. I have been apart of a local organization that she represented before and they start screaming rigged before they ever leave the auditorium. Both Malora & Jessica will help ruin this dream for their daughters. (NT) -- No name, 13:06:59 04/24/25 Thu What do you expect from White Trash? (NT) -- No name, 13:09:02 04/24/25 Thu Ok, and we’ve digressed to more bullying. That is just plain mean. (NT) -- No name, 06:12:23 04/30/25 Wed It's not considered bullying when its the truth. The momma's are white trash. (NT) -- No name, 06:56:12 04/30/25 Wed I don’t know their financial situation, but at the very least, that’s debatable. They are involved in pageants so I doubt they are poor and obviously they are worth infinitely more than trash. I am guessing you have never been bullied, because believe me, bullying has nothing to do with the truth. You could be as poor as a church mouse and I might call you poor, ugly, and stupid and whatever a bully comes up with and you might be all those things, but that doesn’t mean I should speak about you in that way. When you INTENTIONALLY say mean things about someone that are meant to make them feel bad, sad or hurt, then YOU are a bully, even if it’s the truth. Try some kindness, you’ll sleep much better and be much happier. (NT) -- No name, 17:08:41 04/30/25 Wed Ok so we can agree that both Sophia and Keelie have been on the Miss NC stage more than once and both have represented multiple titles in this organization admirably. Both have gone to college and done well with their education. So apparently both their parents have obviously provided an environment that have created successful young women. You might want to look in your own mirror if you want to see ugliness and trash. (NT) -- No name, 09:04:22 05/19/25 Mon Thank you Jessica! Your weight loss looks great, but I would reconsider the two piece suits you've been wearing. (NT) -- No name, 11:37:38 05/22/25 Thu While I do agree the two piece was definitely not her best look, I don’t know that this is the right forum to share that! Reach out to Jessica yourself. Your post clearly triggered a post for her on her Facebook to get her trolls to tell her how amazing she is and looks. Low self esteem at its best! (NT) -- No name, 08:27:17 05/24/25 Sat That belly button tattoo aged like milk in the sun. (NT) -- No name, 12:05:39 05/24/25 Sat You really just sound jealous. Regardless you really need to find something better to do with your time. Being a jealous asshole is getting you nowhere. (NT) -- No name, 11:16:38 05/25/25 Sun No part of me is jealous. I see people in her comments that say they support her but behind their back are shit talking she and her daughter. I want no part of that white trash family or her followers. She need mental health counseling and you all do for pretending you all like her. (NT) -- No name, 13:44:18 05/25/25 Sun Another troll? Hardly. Those of us with decency the ones you label as trolls are actually called friends. Meanwhile, your bitterness is so blinding, you can’t even recognize genuine friendship if it bit you in the ass. We all see you for exactly who you are. When your character and appearance were dragged through the mud, not a single soul stepped in to defend you. That silence says it all. You’ve built a reputation of manipulation, cruelty, and self-interest. No one is fooled by the “nice” act anymore. When the truth comes out and it will you’ll finally be seen for what you really are. (NT) -- No name, 20:28:52 05/28/25 Wed Re: Thank you Jessica!

(NT) -- No name, 10:28:53 05/26/25 Mon Who the heck are Paige and Patsy? (NT) -- No name, 06:42:06 05/29/25 Thu The mean old dumpy lady and her daughter who run thomasville. (NT) -- No name, 17:20:54 05/29/25 Thu Even though I'm certainly not a fan of Patsy ('had a couple of run ins with her) " mean old dumpy" is a little harsh don't you think? Maybe you can rephrase it, lol. (NT) -- No name (T), 07:40:32 05/30/25 Fri a well-aged connoisseur of bitterness. is that better? (NT) -- No name, 08:26:03 05/30/25 Fri Yes, that's an easier pill to swallow, lol (NT) -- No name, 01:55:21 05/31/25 Sat Her mother should have swallowed. :) (NT) -- No name, 06:33:58 06/02/25 Mon Jessica, Patsy and Paige are all trash! They openly talk shit about one another. Honestly though Ive known Jessica for a while and have never known her to have anything positive about others. For such a unfortunate woman, I dont under why she is so rude. (NT) -- No name, 09:45:56 05/30/25 Fri I do know Jessica personally, I can say with confidence that this claim is absolutely untrue. She’s always been kind and respectful. Especially when speaking about our current Miss NC and her daughter’s fellow competitors. The only individual she’s ever spoken less-than-positively about genuinely warranted the comment. As for the other two, I haven’t interacted with them myself, but I’ve heard murmurs that they can be more chaotic than constructive in their roles as local directors. (NT) -- No name, 13:34:10 05/30/25 Fri Thanks Jessica! (NT) -- No name, 22:13:37 05/30/25 Fri This pathetic comeback is so old and worn out.

Subject: I saw on the Miss America Board something about new guidelines for interview outfits. Anyone know what this is all about and what the guidlines are? Kinda late in the game to change them. Most contestants have already bought their clothes.

Subject: Social Media Influencers or Titleholders who are Brand Ambassadors
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:02:23 04/20/25 Sun Local titleholders didn't sign up to be social media influencers; they signed up for Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood, and Style. What is being asked of them is changing the focus of the organization, and, in my opinion, is doing so in the worst way possible. Being a brand ambassador and being good stewards of the crown is one thing, being "Look at Me!", "Look at me help _____, aren't I such a good person?" isn't a good look for anyone or the organization as a whole. What is it teaching these young women? Service for others can and often is done privately or discreetly. The 'pick-me' attitude we're pushing as an organization is cringy. Please make it stop! So we will have a Miss North Carolina and NCT who are good as social media but have no real value in their service other than to get more views. Yuck! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I took at most contestants social media, I'm not sure I see anyone saying "look at me". I see contestants promoting pageant sponsors or local appearances they are making. (NT) -- No name, 07:49:01 04/21/25 Mon I have no issues with it. I want to see local titleholders being active with appearances and service. I would be more concerned if I didn't see them posting on social media. Let's face it, social media is where a larger audience is obtained and intrigued by what is going on with our titleholders and organization. The more I see a titleholder post, the more I think, wow she's so involved, she would make a great Miss NC because obviously she's a people person and servant. I want a Miss NC who is out there! (NT) -- No name, 11:15:11 04/21/25 Mon Re: Social Media Influencers or Titleholders who are Brand Ambassadors -- No name, 11:33:59 04/21/25 Mon I think most of the titleholders are doing a good job on social media. Some content is fluff, but that’s what they are asking for when they tell them how many times a week to post. I like to see content that’s interesting and makes you want to stop and look at it. The best at social media are not necessarily the ones that post the most. If you saturate your feed with too many posts, people get annoyed and mute you. I will say, I’m most interested in people who are actively going to school and working a job, because they are the most well-rounded. Don’t wait to start your career or go to school because of a pageant, that makes someone the least interesting. It’s ok to have a life and compete. (NT) -- No name, 14:55:55 04/21/25 Mon Social media is the name of the game in today's world. You must be able to command an audience. As Miss NC and Miss NC Teen builds their brand and gets exposed to more and more people each year that platform can be monetized and raise funds that can be used for the pageant and it's scholarship offerings. (NT) -- No name, 15:44:08 04/21/25 Mon there is one titleholder, I won't mention her name because she'll get bashed. She post school visits and speaking at events about her CSI. I enjoy her post where she is promoting local business and her towns history. My favorite of her post is where she interviewed former titleholders and post pictures of their year. Some of the formers dates back to the 80's. Might be considered fluff, but I enjoy them. (NT) -- No name, 06:44:07 04/22/25 Tue Ok…DAD…simmer down about your “sweeps” titleholder. (NT) -- No name, 07:01:15 04/22/25 Tue I doubt her Dad posted this, but it doesn’t even matter because the goal of the organization is to encourage competitors, not to tear them down. READ that again. Yes, you should be able to post something nice without receiving snide remarks. If the original post is about Evan, then you’ll never meet a sweeter young lady and she is working hard. Don’t bully her. She has been to Miss NC numerous times and has won titles in the past. I believe she is qualified, beautiful, talented and ready for the job. Every person competing deserves a clean slate and a fair chance. Let’s give them that and see what happens. (NT) -- No name, 09:53:04 04/22/25 Tue You obviously follow the “sweeps” titleholders page since you knew who they were talking about. Pretty sad you would bash her after following her. As for her dad, I’ve witnessed him being supportive of all the contestants his daughter is competing with. I know the past two years he has been very supportive of my daughter. (NT) -- No name, 10:18:09 04/22/25 Tue Exactly!! (NT) -- No name, 11:06:30 04/22/25 Tue Can someone tell me how to get to this page? I'm very interested in the former titleholder's information. This is Evan O'Geary, right? (NT) -- No name, 11:49:40 04/22/25 Tue I saw it on both Miss Henderson's facebook and Instagram pages (NT) -- No name, 12:08:13 04/22/25 Tue Just like with any business, Miss America has to keep up with the trends. Social media is where the majority of the world is spending a lot of their time. Influencers not only benefit themselves, but make money for many businesses and "influence" millions to try products, services, and events like pageants. I don't see an issue with this. If you aren't willing to promote yourself and the Miss America brand this way, then find something else to do. This is business. (NT) -- No name, 18:26:17 05/27/25 Tue I agree. But in order to be influential, you need views. That’s what they should be looking at. Posting multiple times a day doesn’t matter if nobody is watching.

Everyone posted on their instagram (NT) -- No name, 12:11:32 03/25/25 Tue MISS - Sophia Kellstrom - Jaime Logan - Keelie Jones - Taylor Foley - Maayan Eaves - Evan O'Geary - Hannah Lewis - Lauren Walsh - Lauryn Mallard - Summer Carson (NT) -- No name, 19:19:00 03/26/25 Wed Great list I’d add Miss Garner (NT) -- No name, 04:49:44 03/27/25 Thu Lauryn Mallard, Hannah Lewis, Lauren Walsh, Josie Perdue, Maura Westbrook, Keelie Jones, Sophia Kellstrom, Grayson Johnson, Sarah Beth Howard, Hailey Hudson (NT) -- No name, 15:58:31 03/27/25 Thu I agree with this, I think this is a pretty solid list. (NT) -- No name, 09:04:26 03/30/25 Sun It’s important to remember that humble and genuine won last year. Although I haven’t seen it much with the Miss contestants, there are some teens who need to fill up on some humble pie before they arrive in High Point. (NT) -- No name, 20:04:27 04/03/25 Thu I've heard Humble Pie is very fattening. (NT) -- No name, 00:30:27 04/05/25 Sat That Ward girl will win teen, watch and see! (NT) -- No name, 17:25:31 04/07/25 Mon I agree Kate Ward is probably going to win teen. She will definitely be in the top 5 and most likely one of the last two standing. (NT) -- No name, 06:09:43 04/10/25 Thu Top 10 Miss: McKAYLA - Smithfield, HANNAH - Thomasville, SARAH BETH - Wendell, LAUREN - Ballantyne, TAYLOR - Metrolina, LAURYN - Caldwell Co., KEELIE - Statesville, SOPHIA - Davidson Co., MAURA - Garner, JOSIE - Charlotte, (NT) -- No name, 18:15:30 04/08/25 Tue One or more of these repeaters won't make it. Watch and see. Always happens in North Carolina (NT) -- No name, 10:19:33 04/09/25 Wed It’s a solid list but it’s possible. Who don’t you think will make it? (NT) -- No name, 16:10:06 04/09/25 Wed I think it's a very solid list, but in NC you never know. Look at Taylor Foley...previous talent winner and top ten. Then last year, she won talent but didn't make it. It could happen to any of them. After Carrie's year, I'm sure they will charge the judges with what they want to rebuild the program. (NT) -- No name, 06:05:03 04/10/25 Thu Y’all just seem unusually quiet. Thoughts on top 10 as we get closer. Has your top 10 changed since WWE? (NT) -- No name, 10:02:32 05/05/25 Mon I think this year is anyone's ball game. Contestants who have done well in the past might find themselves out of the Top Ten. Lots of new contestants that are very strong....Zebulon, Smithfield and Johnston County to name a few. (NT) -- No name, 11:19:28 05/05/25 Mon I think there are some women not on anyone's radar that will be standing in the top 10 on finals night which is exciting. (NT) -- No name, 11:46:00 05/05/25 Mon By passing contestant social media info to the judges in advance, does anyone think the board may have an agenda? I've heard there are a couple of contestants with content that may not uphold the Miss NC image. Perhaps they are trying to go on the offense and weed out who they do not want. (NT) -- No name, 13:16:13 05/05/25 Mon For as many years as we have had social media, the judges have been provided social media accounts for the contestants. The difference this year is Miss America would like 3 posts a week. This can include instagram stories. Will the judges be counting to see how many they have each week or counting totals? I doubt it. I expect they will be looking for meaningful content. I haven’t seen any inappropriate content… what are your referring to? (NT) -- No name, 22:04:13 05/05/25 Mon My picks for Miss and Teen are Sophia Kellstrom, Miss Davidson Co. and Isabella DiFiore, Miss Thomasville's Teen (NT) -- No name, 12:06:48 05/07/25 Wed Who do we have today? Patsy, Paige or Malora? (NT) -- No name, 08:30:12 05/08/25 Thu Im going to say that is Patsy for sure. (NT) -- No name, 17:26:28 05/20/25 Tue Top 5 in no particular order: Thomasville, Statesville, Ballantyne, Caldwell Co. Davidson Co. (NT) -- No name, 09:27:52 05/12/25 Mon SO Wellborne-Lewis, Jones, Walsh, Mallard, and Kellstrom? (NT) -- No name, 05:59:16 05/13/25 Tue I'd be happy with any of them. (NT) -- No name, 09:00:42 05/13/25 Tue Me too. Solid list. Would be a great finals night and anyone's to win (NT) -- No name, 09:57:48 05/13/25 Tue Re: We are less than 100 days out from Miss NC!!

Jillian Marie! She is in Charlotte (NT) -- No name, 07:59:44 03/10/25 Mon Ehhhh. Her edits are too harsh. She is good at Hair and Makeup. (NT) -- No name, 13:28:54 03/10/25 Mon All packages include hair and makeup styling. I do not offer packages without hair and makeup styling. You will get to see the full gallery with my watermark over it but I don't release any unedited photos. Please note a $50 nonrefundable deposit is required to hold a shoot date. All edits take 3 weeks. Rush edits 1 week, $50 extra per photo. Rush edits 1-3 days, $100 extra per photo. $550: 1 OUTFIT, 2 EDITS $650: 2 OUTFITS, 4 EDITS. $850: 3 OUTFITS, 6 EDITS $1050: 4 OUTFITS, 8 EDITS (NT) -- No name, 22:10:29 03/17/25 Mon Whose prices are these? (NT) -- No name, 06:15:41 03/23/25 Sun Looks like JM but they are above average with the others as well (NT) -- No name, 14:18:13 03/23/25 Sun Yes! Jill and Ashley Tart. Both have beautiful work, an include hair and makeup. -- No name, 12:24:32 03/11/25 Tue Ashley does just fine with hair and makeup, but her photography is pretty weak. Karl DeBlaker in Garner is who I would recommend on the eastern side of the state. (NT) -- No name, 12:55:32 03/11/25 Tue You can’t be serious. There is no way that someone other than Karl is saying this hahaha -- No name, 13:16:30 03/11/25 Tue And I would hardly call Ashley or Jill’s photography weak. They will probably have the largest amount of headshots in the program book this year. -- No name, 13:19:22 03/11/25 Tue Nobody mentioned Jill, but Ashley is not a good photographer. She should stick to hair and makeup. (NT) -- No name, 19:28:46 03/11/25 Tue Jealousy doesn’t look good on you. Let’s be honest. -- No name, 19:54:26 03/11/25 Tue Keep in mind that Ashley is in her first year of doing photography! It’s a lot to learn and she’s picked up pretty quickly. She definitely has a little ways to go, but she will get there! Headshot photography is a beast of its own. Give her some credit for doing fairly well in her first year! (NT) -- No name, 06:37:47 03/12/25 Wed Because of her short time her photos look the most like the Miss or Teen. Her headshots look the most like the contestant from what’s been posted so far. Ashley will be a top contender for headshots real soon! Keep up the hard work, Ashley! Oh, she’s the ONLY one to have a national winner!😊 (NT) -- No name, 01:48:43 03/17/25 Mon LMAO Does it matter that someone she did headsots for won a national title when 1) the photo didnt count toward said title; 2) she did nothing to prepare the girl to compete? Now you're just trying to pump up a mediocre photographer with fake credentials/accomplishments. (NT) -- No name, 09:08:35 03/18/25 Tue Yeah she does good work but can’t claim any credit for a national win. Thats a stretch at best. (NT) -- No name, 00:59:30 03/24/25 Mon She may be a new photographer, but she’s been a hair and make up artist for a long time. She can climb a national winner for hair and make up because she was there doing Hanley‘s makeup when she won. -- No name, 20:13:18 03/26/25 Wed Claim -- No name, 20:14:30 03/26/25 Wed* Re: Ashley does just fine with hair and makeup, but her photography is pretty weak. Karl DeBlaker in Garner is who I would recommend on the eastern side of the state. (NT) -- No name, 09:45:48 03/25/25 Tue Re: Yes! Jill and Ashley Tart.

Both have beautiful work, an include hair and makeup. -- No name, 16:05:16 03/24/25 Mon Look into who does other state headshots. NC is weak in this department since Younique stopped doing photos. Jessielyn Palumbo is who does Miss NY's headshots. GrantFoto is who does Miss TX's Headshots, OK & KS use the Boyds but all there work looks the same. (NT) -- No name, 13:10:55 03/11/25 Tue Alexis Thigpen does good work (NT) -- No name, 17:26:45 03/11/25 Tue Some of her edits are so heavy they almost look like AI. I don’t like her work. She also doesn’t have the best track record.. check with previous Miss contestants who used her last year at state. (NT) -- No name, 10:29:17 03/12/25 Wed 🤣🤣🤣 somebody’s jealous. Geez. At least her photos still look like the subject she’s shooting, can’t say that about many other photographers! And her track record is looking pretty darn good! Maybe if you had BEEN in the house last June, you’d know what really happened! But you weren’t. She did exactly what she should have done. (NT) -- No name, 15:02:08 03/12/25 Wed She made everyone late every day.....one of the Miss contestants had to hire someone else on finals day because Alexis couldn't get her done (NT) -- No name, 16:24:24 03/12/25 Wed And that is a bold face lie… (NT) -- No name, 16:36:04 03/12/25 Wed Absolutely no one is jealous of Alexis. No one. Not sure about the other’s commenting but I was privy to what happened first hand and that is why I will never spend money with her or trust her with something like Miss NC week hair and makeup. I don’t wish her any ill will. I love to see other women rise … but I don’t have to be a fan of their product. (NT) -- No name, 21:40:24 03/14/25 Fri And clearly you’re the one she made come back at your scheduled time Ms. Smith! (NT) -- No name, 11:25:49 03/15/25 Sat Nope… don’t know her well & probably have her by a few decades. If she wants to share her experience that’s on her …you made it clear you’re one of the few people that knew who. Careful the company you keep. (NT) -- No name, 12:47:13 03/15/25 Sat Oh and now she’s offering a whole pageant coaching service. That should be very interesting. (NT) -- No name, 13:41:45 03/22/25 Sat And clearly you don’t know that she’s been coaching for years. Just one more person on here with zero knowledge of what they’re talking about. (NT) -- No name, 19:03:31 03/24/25 Mon Karl is a literal pedophile, he DMs and follows all the teen contestants to any pageant and Alexis must not know how to work a camera because every photo I have seen of her is so blurry (NT) -- No name, 18:51:31 03/11/25 Tue As someone who has shot with Alexis, she knows how to use a camera quite well! She’s also business smart and doesn’t post “printable” quality on social media. Once I selected my choices and the final edits were sent to me, they were perfect! Why would people order photos if they could just print the ones their photographer decided to share on social media? (NT) -- No name, 06:31:14 03/12/25 Wed that's the stupidest thing ive ever heard. What is posted on social media is not quality for print anyways, most photographers send hi res for social media use and then also send you the option to be able to print them and not take down the quality. (NT) -- No name, 16:27:14 03/12/25 Wed It’s actually quite smart. You’d be surprised how many people try to print and use edits they didn’t order or pay for by saving the photos off of social media. By posting a lower quality photo on social media that won’t print well, it takes care of that problem. Makes perfect sense to me! (NT) -- No name, 22:24:06 03/12/25 Wed Her photos are blurry because she doesn't use photoshop. She uses a phone app to filter them. They are filtered to look good enough on a phone, but when you print them the flaws are easy to see. And talk to some of the clients that paid her for services and never got the images or clothing they purchased. She's lucky not to be in jail. (NT) -- No name, 08:47:09 03/12/25 Wed I know people can change but I would never trust her with my money or my headshots. All those that hired her for state better hope it’s not a repeat of last summer. (NT) -- No name, 10:32:17 03/12/25 Wed Funny…all those that hired her for state last year sure used her again this year! Sounds like you need to fact check before commenting! (NT) -- No name, 15:36:05 03/12/25 Wed Please elaborate, what happened at state last year? (NT) -- No name, 08:09:23 03/13/25 Thu She made a contestant wait for her time slot when she showed up wanting to jump in front of other contestants to be first. Alexis made her return at her scheduled time as she should have. (NT) -- No name, 05:02:09 03/14/25 Fri How much money is the photogenic award? What percentage of the score is it? Who did Kamryn and Carrie use last year for their headshots for state? Both were terrible and yet they both won the pageant. (NT) -- No name, 21:43:48 03/11/25 Tue There is no photogenic. Karl did Kamryn’s state headshot I’m pretty sure. Carrie has a friend that does hers. -- No name, 04:23:20 03/12/25 Wed There is no bearing on one’s score based off the headshot unless you take into consideration it’s the first thing the judges associate with that contestant and because judges are human it could leave an impression on them (both positive and/or negative. The price that headshots cost these days one would expect excellent quality and that’s not what all of these “pageant photogs” are producing which why we go out of state for anything headshot related. If I had to choose an in state business for a head shot it would be Jillian Marie. (NT) -- No name, 13:44:22 03/12/25 Wed A bigger issue is girls having a "great" headshot done and the judge can hardly recognize them in person when they walk in the interview room. (NT) -- No name, 15:26:27 03/15/25 Sat That’s going to be over half the contestants that have posted their headshots .. some of them don’t look like them at all. It’s really sad they are all beautiful young women.. but these edits are not it! (NT) -- No name, 16:03:02 03/22/25 Sat As a professional photographer (not in pageant world in NC) Jillian Marie, Angel Studios (SC), The Boyd’s (GA.) Ashley has some things to learn about lighting, retouching and masking. Some of her photos are dark but can easily be fixed. Having a camera doesn’t make you a photographer but I do not get that impression from her. She has worked under Suzanne (I think was her name) who did beautiful photos for years. I think that Ashley will be amazing with more practice and she seems to be fully booked! I love how she does hair/makeup. This is from a photographer prospective, once again. (NT) -- No name, 07:36:36 03/12/25 Wed I think it’s important to still look like yourself in your photos. I saw a headshot done by one of the mentioned photographers and I never would have know that’s who that girl was if her name wasn’t attached. Looks like a completely different person. (NT) -- No name, 10:22:18 03/12/25 Wed Just a reminder, photographers are people, just like contestants, and should not be bullied. Nobody should be bullied and lately this board has been full of bullying. Having your work “judged” particularly when someone hasn’t seen your finished product is slanderous and rude. Stop bullying people unless you want to sign your name so we all will know who you are. Contestants, Look on the photographers instagram/facebook pages and if you like their work, use them, if not, don’t. There’s enough business to go around. Many times, people ask for specific things and that might be what you consider overdone, but the one paying the tab gets to decide. You can praise your favorite photographer without telling us that everyone else doing the job is terrible. (NT) -- No name, 16:32:39 03/12/25 Wed Absolutely! Best response yet! (NT) -- No name, 16:40:08 03/12/25 Wed I would say that whomever did Taylor's Miss America photos is probably the best in the business at the moment. Her headshots were to die for. (NT) -- No name, 16:53:08 03/12/25 Wed They were fabulous! Don’t quote me but I think Boyd did them! (NT) -- No name, 17:15:04 03/12/25 Wed Her photos were by Carlos Velez, the official Miss America photographer. Carlos, as well as Austin Ryde are both excellent photographers and friends of Robin Fleming, so their product is quite reliable for the current leadership’s charge. (NT) -- No name, 17:46:57 03/12/25 Wed Carlos Velez in Florida did Taylors, he's the official Miss America photographer.. (NT) -- No name, 08:15:31 03/13/25 Thu He's phenomenal. Taylor's headshots were some of the best I've seen. They were quite glamorous but still looked like Taylor. None of the ones mentioned above can even come close to that. Certainly not folks who have been photographing for a year or two. The closest local one is Karl DeBlaker. He's pretty darn good. (NT) -- No name, 13:43:25 03/13/25 Thu Stop with the Karl mess. He uses one-touch button editing. It’s a fact because he’s taken photos of before, and showed me how he edits. He clicks one button and it’s done. All of his photos are grainy and over detailed. No one is looking at this photos and saying they are good. Just stop it. -- No name, 17:50:34 03/13/25 Thu Who cares how he edits. His photos are beautiful. And he is an actual photographer, unlike some of these wannabees you all are touting. LOL Besides, all of the photographers mentioned use AI and have no idea how to actually retouch a photo. (NT) -- No name, 13:59:40 03/18/25 Tue There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING beautiful about his photos. The editing is horrendous, but the atmosphere that the girls have to walk into when they work with him is even worse. -- No name, 20:09:53 03/26/25 Wed Show us one photo taken by him along with one taken by Jillian, Alexis, and Ashley and let us compare aand judge for ourselves who is the best. I think his Miss NC headshots are beautiful. (NT) -- No name, 04:45:42 03/27/25 Thu Miss America's official sponsor is whoever is willing to suck up to Robin and do a lot for a little. That's the case with everything Miss America does because she has been and is leveraged to her crown with lawsuits and debt. (NT) -- No name, 15:56:24 03/13/25 Thu I would not go to Alexis for HMU or photos, too many horror stories with receipts to back them up. Karl has been an issue for years and I’m not surprised JoCo likes him with their history of questionable morals. Both are clearly posting in here trying to drum up some business. I bet she is trying to grab some cash for work weekend and state, where she is sure to screw over some unsuspecting newcomer yet again. That well is running dry. -- No name, 20:23:30 03/13/25 Thu The only well that’s running dry is the one people are talking junk out of about things they know nothing about. Personally, I have a lot of respect for someone who can fail and have the courage to get back up and try again. Not only that, but that woman have survived things that would have killed most of us. She has fought her way back and earned every bit of the success she has right now. She did it all knowing that cowards would try to bring her down. She has worked her butt off and goes above and beyond for all of her girls and they love her for it. (NT) -- No name, 04:27:19 03/14/25 Fri I respectfully disagree. I don’t think anyone is trying to bring her down. People know her past & they will never forget. Your reputation and character follow you for life. I’m all about redemption and comeback stories and I’m happy for her revived business and hope she continues to thrive. That being said I prefer to use those with solid track records when that much money is involved. Some people are wonderful kind people but aren’t business minded and that’s ok too not all of us are meant to run a business. It’s clear she’s employed a few people to help her and that was a wise decision for the amount of young ladies she’s taken on for state. (NT) -- No name, 04:35:20 03/15/25 Sat Has anyone else noticed how obvious it is that Lenn Long is the one bashing all of these photographers? Not one mention of his horrible work in these comments trying to bring all these other great photographers down. All of them are way ahead of him in headshot photography. All of them treat their clients better. All of them edit better. I wouldn’t take him up on a free photoshoot. Certainly wouldn’t pay him for one. His jealousy is unreal. I’ve seen very similar comments made by him in people’s inboxes talking down on his competitors. He’s nowhere close to being competition for any of the people listed above. Hey Lenn, trying to bring all these people down with your negative comments and lies isn’t going to get you more business! (NT) -- No name, 04:36:23 03/14/25 Fri I seriously doubt Lenn Long cares what you think. A lot of the photos the contestants turn in are so altered they don't even look like the contestant. That's been the battle for years. The Miss NC people say, "Look like your photo", but very few of them do. (NT) -- No name, 06:45:36 03/14/25 Fri No, the real issue is that the makeup artists that do photos are so talented that they glam the girls to look one way for headshots, and then is those girls don’t hire that same artist for the pageant, other artists can’t always replicate it. Moral of the story- splurge and book the one that did you for the headshots. I’ve always said it was the best money spent each year -- No name, 12:18:58 03/14/25 Fri Len does great stage photos & he does well with professional headshots for business purposes as well. Most of the photographers that do great pageant headshots have a team of H&M or they are also the H&M so they have a well oiled machine. I know Len did lots of pageant headshots years ago and they just weren’t the glitz and glam you see now.. they were professional could have been used for business cards and they very much looked like the person in real life. I don’t know him on a personal level but I agree he doesn’t care what anyone on this voy board says … he is well established and you aren’t gonna hurt his business. He sticks to what he does best and his customer service the two times we’ve bought stage photos from him has been quick and reliable. Some of y’all are just haters. Photography is not an easy skill and it takes years of trial and error. We will continue to go out of state for headshots but will definitely purchase Len Long stage shots. (NT) -- No name, 07:27:21 03/15/25 Sat You clearly haven’t seen the messages he’s sent plenty of people saying these exact same negative things about other photographers. It’s pathetic. If you had seen that you would think very differently of him. He’s childish and I jealous and it shows. (NT) -- No name, 11:35:08 03/15/25 Sat Photography is a skill but it is not "trial and error." It is very technical. Unfortunately a lot of the people listed here know how to do one thing; they're not photographers, they're semi-trained monkeys pushing a button. You better hope nothing goes wrong during your photoshoot with people who have only been photographing for a year or two. They don't have the technical knowledge to fixsomething should it go wrong. (NT) -- No name, 19:30:45 03/16/25 Sun Some of them have training that you know nothing about…… mind your business, and keep shooting the stage. ED’s only hire stage photographers because it’s a cheap job that others don’t want! -- No name, 16:32:50 03/17/25 Mon What training does Ashley have? Alexis? I'm pretty sure Ashley was told by that photographer she did hair and makeup for how to set up her camera and whatever lights she has for headshots and that's what she does. Same thing they do for mall Santas. That's hardly photography. Ask her if she knows lighting patterns and which one she uses. Ask her if she knows how to use light to create shadows and highlights. Ask her if she uses rim lighting or if she wraps her lighting. I guarantee you she wono't have a clue. And it takes more technical skill to photograph action than it does to have someone tell you how to set up a "studio" and then just push a button. You are ridiculous. (NT) -- No name, 16:40:36 03/18/25 Tue Ok, here it is… proof that adults are much better at bullying that children, teens or young adults. This whole thread is so distasteful. Have you ever heard “blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make your shine brighter”?? You all should be ashamed of yourselves. (NT) -- No name, 07:29:04 03/19/25 Wed Discussing someone's qualifications is not bullying. I suppose you just want to hold hands and sing kum ba ya while blowing sunshine and roses up everyone's ass? When folks charge as much as they do for headshots, it's reasonable to discuss who is good, who is not so good, etc. Or is this one of the aforementioned photographers who can't handle criticism of their work??? (NT) -- No name, 08:44:54 03/19/25 Wed As far as the candle thing.....it kind of does if you are in a dark room with no other candles and your candle is bigger than the one you blew out Jast sayin....... (NT) -- No name, 09:28:00 03/19/25 Wed Haha, very funny. I don’t consider most of the comments above constructive or honest. In fact, I don’t think trying to ruin someone’s business or “taking down” the competition is really even winning. But then, I realize that Karl is someone’s husband and grandfather, that Alexis is a single mother working hard to take care of her kids and that Ashley has been doing hair and makeup successfully for years and when Suzanne decided to close her business, Ashley took the natural next step and started her own. I think they are all talented photographers and photography is their livelihood. It’s almost like some people just like to antagonize and cause conflict with their “honest” comments. (NT) -- No name, 21:16:02 03/19/25 Wed I guess we all have different definitions of what "talented" means. This is just another example of the dumbing down of America. You people don't even know what good photography is. Hint: it ain't what you're promoting here. Most of these local yocal "photographers" are terrible. But do continue. And for those of you who act like photographing stage productions are nothing, there is a lot more skill required to deal with constantly changing lighting, movement on stage (especially dancers), etc. But again, this just shows that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. LOL (NT) -- No name, 04:37:43 03/20/25 Thu Ok, nobody knows anything but you. Pageant photography isn’t rocket science and it isn’t single handedly responsible for dumbing down America. It’s just not that deep. I didn’t say that stage photography is easy or that Lenn Long isn't a great photographer. All I said is there’s room for more than one headshot photographer and that you should be nice. I’m not going to call you stupid or bully you, don’t worry. You’re welcome (NT) -- No name, 05:20:51 03/20/25 Thu And where did you get your photography trainingi? If all you do is put a few light sin place and hit a button, then nah. You're right. It's not complicated. But if you actually knew anything about photography, you would know about light and shadows, that there are very specific light patterns and when and why to use them and how to create them, how light ratios work, what depth of field is, when to use different lenses, etc. And you would also know how to create specific looks using your gear, not in AI retouching. No, it's not rocket science, but there is science behind it. Oh, and it takes some math knowledge too. But you keep thinking it's not complicated and you keep going to one of the local folks who are nothing more than trained monkeys. (NT) -- No name, 16:07:46 03/20/25 Thu I’m absolutely positive that they know depth of field and lighting patterns. If you know anything about makeup artistry, lighting and shadow is what it’s based on. You just create it with light placement, with reflectors that add or subtract light in the areas you want to highlight or contour… an artist is an artist. And a great artist understands how to use different mediums. Stop trying to put people in a box. -- No name, 11:31:48 03/22/25 Sat You're just foolish. Makeup is not the same. But you keep thinking it is. (NT) -- No name, 14:54:33 03/22/25 Sat Thanks Lenn. Yet again coming on here trying to toot your own horn and talk crap about all the others. And honestly your photography lacks quite a bit and that exactly why you’ll never have the clients that everyone else on this list has. (NT) -- No name, 19:11:15 03/24/25 Mon Just out of curiosity are there any states that require all contestants to use same headshot photographer? Not something I’d suggest just wondering if anyone has those parameters? (NT) -- No name, 19:46:26 03/22/25 Sat This should never be an option unless the state is paying for it. (NT) -- No name, 06:28:03 03/23/25 Sun DC has all the girls come in on the same day and a portrait photographer shoots their photo. (NT) -- No name, 08:29:07 03/23/25 Sun That’s interesting and exactly what I was asking. Thank you! (NT) -- No name, 11:47:37 03/23/25 Sun DC also has about 5-10 girls each year at best. They don't have preliminary pageants. And most of the girls in the pageant are not from DC. They are college students that are attending Howard, Georgetown, George Washington or one of the other smaller universities in DC. (NT) -- No name, 07:04:54 04/09/25 Wed Who did headshots for Miss Central Carolina and Miss Iredell County? They are both stunning! (NT) -- No name, 06:31:42 03/25/25 Tue Miss Iredell County has a HMU/Photography team from SC not anyone listed here. She lists them for credit on her headshot post. (NT) -- No name, 10:05:18 03/25/25 Tue Well I haven't seen her headshot post as I don't stalk every single girl on all of their social media. So, if you know who the photographer is, would you kindly tell us? Some of us might actually want to hire him/her. (NT) -- No name, 12:38:46 03/25/25 Tue Oh sorry I didn’t remember the name. I wasn’t being snarky I just remembered seeing a photo credit on the post. If I see it again I’ll loop back around and post the tag here. (NT) -- No name, 14:51:11 03/25/25 Tue Thank you. I apologize for thinking you were just being snarky. I would greatly appreciate it if you find it. (NT) -- No name, 04:34:31 03/26/25 Wed The Perfect 10 they are in South Carolina. (NT) -- No name, 08:06:16 03/26/25 Wed Remember back in the day when everyone had to have a Gordon Kinlaw portrait? My times have changed. (NT) -- No name, 17:32:40 04/07/25 Mon Gordon was one of the best in the business back in the day. Last I heard he's retired. I sure hope he's enjoying it. (NT) -- No name, 18:00:53 04/07/25 Mon Ohh yes Gordon Kinlaw and Jayme Shaw days! (NT) -- No name, 04:59:33 04/08/25 Tue He was very lucky to have her as a loyal makeup artist for years! Nobody does makeup like Jayme Shaw! She was a hoot in the basement at Peace when everyone was getting hair and makeup done. (NT) -- No name, 09:23:44 04/08/25 Tue The Best Days! (NT) -- No name, 04:32:40 04/09/25 Wed

Subject: Just FYI! Directors do not need to be on this board, especially if they are tearing down their own delegate or relaying what is being said about a delegate on this board. Some girls stay off of this board to avoid the nonsense and negativity and disgust it brings. I saw a recent post that was very clear it was a director talking about their delegate and that’s just sad.

Anyone else worried about Miss Davidson County? She looks really skinny, it’s not healthy. I hope someone checks on her. It’s heartbreaking… (NT) -- No name, 20:01:58 04/02/25 Wed Im just thankful she's getting fitness ready. Maybe now she will buy gowns instead of having her grandmother make them. (NT) -- No name, 07:48:01 04/03/25 Thu Re: Im just thankful she's getting fitness ready. Maybe now she will buy gowns instead of having her grandmother make them. -- No name, 08:32:32 04/03/25 Thu Uh....I've seen this girl compete over the years and some of those "grandma dresses" could give a lot of those overpriced store bought frocks a run for their money. Nobody would have even known that they were not purchased from a retail shop unless told. Also, she gets a hats off for originality. No danger in showing up with the same dress as someone else. (NT) -- No name, 09:40:44 04/03/25 Thu Hahahahah Okay Melora... (NT) -- No name, 10:42:43 04/03/25 Thu I remember at least 4 wearing the same dress last year, how does this even happen? Do they not register? I would hope dress shops would still honor this profess (NT) -- No name, 12:53:20 04/03/25 Thu Re: Azalea- All the girls looked fabulous today, loved the wardrobe choices. Excited to watch their socials this week. -- No name, 20:22:29 04/02/25 Wed They all looked amazing! (NT) -- No name, 03:40:26 04/03/25 Thu I think they all look amazing, but I noticed that at Work Weekend as well. But Miss America is back into thin girls, so she's giving them what they want. Sweet, Sweet girl. (NT) -- No name, 06:04:46 04/03/25 Thu The last 3 Miss NC would not be described as “thin” 1 of the 3 could have easily won Miss America. I believe Miss America is looking for fit and healthy. Everyone has a different body type so it’s not a one size fits all. I want my daughter to be able to look up to our next Miss NC and Miss America. I do not think it’s healthy to have non obtainable, dangerous, medicated size reducing or eating disorders being passed out like trick or treat candy. jmo (NT) -- No name, 12:48:13 04/03/25 Thu Davidson Co is my pick for Miss NC. Deserves it with the amount of work she's put in. It's going to be a great show this year! (NT) -- No name, 06:51:31 04/03/25 Thu I'd love to see Davidson win it all (NT) -- No name, 07:03:11 04/03/25 Thu Again, we get it, you think your kid should win, Malora! (NT) -- No name, 03:25:47 04/04/25 Fri Both Malora and Jessica (Keely's Mom) love to come on her and over hype their daughters. (NT) -- No name, 10:54:23 04/04/25 Fri Not a super fan of either (don’t know them enough to make that determination for sure BUT I like to play devils advocate so here goes … Keelie (you could at least learn to spell her name if you’re gonna call her out on this board) has done very well in both teen and now Miss and that’s just factual. She’s placed in the top 10 I believe every time and the top 5 all but once. She is doing something right in the judges eyes. I don’t think her mom needs to hype her on this board. But she’s blessed to have a mom that’s her biggest cheerleader.. no one will ever love you like your mama and NC clearly has some loving pageant moms. Over the top? Maybe, but I’d hype my daughter up every chance I got. The world is gonna tear them down enough. (NT) -- No name, 17:22:10 04/04/25 Fri There are a good few who are putting in genuine work and I hope that those girls are our top five. Some are posting every day and doing much more work than she is. Yall love your favorites. -- No name, 08:56:08 04/03/25 Thu Re: Azalea- All the girls looked fabulous today, loved the wardrobe choices. Excited to watch their socials this week. -- No name, 10:56:59 04/03/25 Thu They all probably have tattoos, (NT) -- No name, 03:22:38 04/04/25 Fri They all look beautiful, but Lauren Mallard is pure class. Love her wardrobe showing. (NT) -- No name, 06:29:09 04/04/25 Fri Wardrobe choices (NT) -- No name, 07:00:56 04/04/25 Fri I love Mallard and Hudson’s selections. The yellow dress yesterday with the rosettes was stunning on Hudson. (NT) -- No name, 06:14:50 04/05/25 Sat I concur, they both looked stunning, but all of the girls looked absolutely ravishing! It was a beautiful group of girls. One of my favorite azalea groups, they complimented each other well. (NT) -- No name, 04:15:07 04/07/25 Mon Hell, they all looked better than our current Miss NC. (NT) -- No name, 05:35:53 04/07/25 Mon I can not disagree with this statement. (NT) -- No name, 16:58:26 04/07/25 Mon Orange County is going to win the whole thing. (NT) -- No name, 15:58:09 04/07/25 Mon Umm…..Okay…if you say so! 😂 (NT) -- No name, 16:47:09 04/07/25 Mon Re: Umm…..Okay…if you say so! 😂 -- No name, 09:45:56 04/08/25 Tue No way are they going to send someone her size to Miss America. If NC crowns her, they need to clean house and get an entirely new board/committee. (NT) -- No name, 18:03:17 04/07/25 Mon we all love miss orange county, the angel she is!! -- No name, 09:53:18 04/08/25 Tue Bahahahaha! Now that’s funny. I say Kelstrom, Hudson, Mallard, Welborn Lewis =final four (NT) -- No name, 17:21:45 04/07/25 Mon Not sure that’s exactly it. (NT) -- No name, 16:22:45 04/08/25 Tue And why not? These women are doing all the right things. (NT) -- No name, 16:46:04 04/08/25 Tue

Subject: For fun, a look at Miss America: Age and Talent
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:30:38 03/27/25 Thu -Since 1962 when Maria Fletcher won Miss America, there has only been 1 other Miss America who Tap danced, Mallory Hagan. Maria Tap danced to a recording of herself singing. Since 1962 there have been 38 singers who have won, 10 dancers (including Maria and Mallory), 7 instrumentalists, one Herstory, a science experiment and a ventriloquist. -As for age: The first couple of Miss America’s were 16. Then many were 19 and 20. As the age creeped up we saw some 24 year olds and Nia was 25. Since the age change to 28, we’ve seen a few 26 year olds get edged out by 22 year-olds. -This year at Miss America a 22 year old won, but her 1st ru turned 27 this month. In the top 11 there were 4 -26 year olds, 3 -24 year olds, 1 -23 year, 2 - 22 year olds and 1- 21 year old. -For talent the top 11 had 6 dancers (1 clogged) 4 singers and 1 Herstory. -The Top 5 had 3 dancers (jazz, lyrical and ballet), 1 singer and a Herstory. If Miss America is any indication, the top 11 can be any age and have any talent!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Several girls used photogs not listed here. (NT) -- No name, 11:25:13 03/25/25 Tue I believe they all list who they used on their posts I’d have to go back and re look to remember the names.
