- Note: this requirement is for the state pageant in June, not at local prelims. (NT) -- No name, 06:15:02 01/05/15 Mon
- It's so dumb. JS swim suits cost a half a GRAND!! Most girls I know actually purchase a swim suit they can actually use at the beach when they're done competing. (NT) -- No name, 06:20:55 01/05/15 Mon
- Still--$500 for a swimsuit that is nothing more than an ordinary Catalina or Venus with daisies and crap glued to it? Yikes!!!! (NT) -- No name, 07:41:41 01/05/15 Mon
- Catalina at WalMart, Kandice Pelletier, and now Jamye Shaw. Miss NC loves for us to shop. (NT) -- No name, 10:05:32 01/05/15 Mon
- I would at least like the girls to be able to choose their own color if it is mandatory they wear one of these and have to purchase it . I"m not sure of the exact cost but I'm sure they are over $400. Curious as to why they limited the color. (NT) -- No name, 11:43:24 01/05/15 Mon

- Hopefully the JS suits look better than the contraption Beth (God bless her) wore last year (NT) -- No name, 15:14:43 01/05/15 Mon
- I wish they didn't do this - I think it totally destroys the creativity of the contestants and they're forced to pick from a collection of overpriced swimsuits. In my opinion, Jamye's had a big problem with quality in the last few years (don't take my word for it)- I'd have gladly spent the money for the right suit, but ended up getting a Victoria's Secret and taking it to the tailor. :-/ (NT) -- No name, 19:39:40 01/05/15 Mon
- Will the style be same for all contestants or will they have a few to choose from? (NT) -- No name, 06:14:32 01/06/15 Tue
- Who chose these colors and why not let the girls choose if they HAVE to wear her s/s. As far as s/s scholarship, she will be making lots of $$. That will only be a drop in the bucket. (NT) -- No name, 07:14:12 01/06/15 Tue
- Her swimsuits have never fit either of my daughters. Would never buy another one, now we're required to and I'm not spending $500+ for a "custom". Maybe should get it altered somehow? Suggestions? (NT) -- No name, 07:29:07 01/06/15 Tue
- Why no red, pink, coral? (NT) -- No name, 08:08:30 01/06/15 Tue
- If I wear my $30 catalina no one would be able to tell the difference and i'd save a couple hundred bucks (NT) -- No name, 08:47:53 01/06/15 Tue
- $500 bucks might not be alot to Jayme Shaw or Beth Knox, but its alot to me. (NT) -- No name, 10:46:56 01/06/15 Tue

- Does't each pre-lim have a budget for their winner to use at Miss NC? (NT) -- No name, 13:02:36 01/06/15 Tue
- No (NT) -- No name, 20:43:43 01/07/15 Wed
 Very disappointed that Beth Knox has approved this. Unless the girls are getting a free suit, what is the point? I'm sure Beth's daughter had an unlimited budget (daddy's $$$) when she competed in VA-USA, but not every girl does. I mean, if you win a $1000 local scholarship and have to fork out half that for a swimsuit, why even bother??? (NT) -- No name, 17:03:57 01/06/15 Tue
- The $1000 scholarship goes to the college they are attending so they don't actually get this money to use as they see fit. (NT) -- No name, 07:13:33 01/07/15 Wed
- I think the point is if a girl spends a year as Miss Asheville, Clayton, or Statesville, she's earned her scholarship money. Regardless of where it goes (to the college or in her pocket), making her fork over extra money to buy a swimsuit she may not like isn't right. The local scholarships aren't big enough to allow for this. If girls were getting bigger scholarships, I can see it, but $1,000 would barely cover school supplies these days, let alone help someone pay for college. (NT) -- No name, 07:28:01 01/07/15 Wed
- Good grief people, read your contracts. It's SCHOLARSHIP money and has to be used to pay tuition. If you're out of school you get ZERO $. Local money has to be used before state money, state money has to be used before national money. If you don't qualify for the money for school, you don't get it. It can't be used for wardrobe, gown, swimsuit, girl's night out or whatever you want. Only a couple will actually write the check to you. Most, including state, write the check TO YOUR SCHOOL. (NT) -- na, 09:44:48 01/22/15 Thu
- Even if you have to fork over half of that! It should be our prerogative to spend our local SCHOLARSHIP money in the way we best see fit (on I don't know, textbooks maybe)? Instead we have to line the pockets of JS because she's a "friend of the organization"? (NT) -- No name, 07:16:57 01/07/15 Wed
- Maybe this will be reconsidered if the parents would ask them to. (NT) -- No name, 05:09:43 01/08/15 Thu

- Does the committee take into consideration all titleholders when they make these decisions? There are several committees that provide zero funding for wardrobe to their winners and all costs come directly out of the titleholders pocket (or in most cases, mom & dads). This defeats the entire purpose of trying to win scholarship monies. Why spend the money for something you have a 1 in 35 (ish) shot of winning? Miss NC is a dream for most young ladies but once you peek behind the curtain, it isn't so appealing anymore. Something needs to change. And it wasn't the swimsuit.

- Let's face it, we haven't had a national winner in 50 years. We've got beauty, talent, and determination - all the building blocks for success at the national level. We should be focused on how to end the drought, not on giving out sweetheart deals to pals. (NT) -- No name, 08:12:43 01/08/15 Thu
- To end the drought, you need new judges with new thinking and scoring. They're letting the potential winners walk away. (NT) -- No name, 09:09:50 01/08/15 Thu
 Wonder if Beth whined to the Guru board and threw her weight around since a thread about this very subject was removed?!?!? Wonder if she has complained to this board's mod. (NT) -- No name, 15:37:01 01/08/15 Thu
- Just looked at the js website and getting really concerned. Can't find ONE style that looks like anything i'd wear. Does anyone know if these are being donated or are we going to have to pay for this? (NT) -- No name, 17:32:09 01/12/15 Mon
- Not a real big money maker for Jamye. Considering she probably wholesales the suits to the stores for $100-$200, she probably will only sell 20-25 new suits at most. Some girls will buy used, others may have one already. This is only about $3000 in revenue for her. In comparison to a retailer, that's two Tony Bowls gowns. (NT) -- No name, 12:18:56 01/13/15 Tue
- JS isn't selling the suits to the girls. The retail partners are the ones that set the prices. If a retailer marks up a garment 100% over wholesale it's the retailer that actually makes the most money. The wholesaler has the hard cost to produce the garment. (NT) -- No name, 10:49:54 01/14/15 Wed
- More than likely there will be a rep (maybe JS herself) at the workshop. They will measure girls, allow them to try on, and choose their pieces. They will then be shipped to their person residences. Girls can (unpermittedly, but undoubtedly so) bring it to their tailor to make adjustments, but JS will have to ensure it maintains her brand standard. (NT) -- No name, 10:15:43 01/22/15 Thu
- Miss NC fans, we need all the sponsors we can get. Please be kind in expressing your comments (NT) -- No name, 19:45:07 01/22/15 Thu
- What would happen if a girl came out on stage in a non JS suit? Would she be disqualified? (NT) -- No name, 15:46:50 01/26/15 Mon
