When she began lending her modeling services to these gown stores, that's when. Let these stores start booking and paying professional models to shill for their stores and they will see what a bargain they are getting. Plus, since most of these gown stores do a big business in pageant wear, they are getting the extra cache of the Miss NC title that not even a professional model could bring. And yes, these girls work long and hard to win the Miss NC title. There should definitely be benefits to winning the crown. There should be a car, apartment, and appearance fees. That's why you enter a competition. Because there are prizes for the winner. That's the very point of a competition. -- Unofficial Miss NC Messageboard

In reply to: 's message, "For that matter, when did Miss NC start expecting everything during her year to be free? When did she get so entitled that she shouldn't have to pay for anything? Every gown, every earring, every outfit for every appearance? On loan to her or given to her by some store? NO! Enough of the bullshit. Stop taking advantage of the sponsors. And let's not even get startted on the business manager thinking she should get freebies during the year too. God almighty. What is wrong with this organization? Start acting like it's the business that it is." on 19:20:17 03/03/26 Tue

A wardrobe allowance or a free gown here or there, sure. But to expect to borrow a gown or outfit for every single appearance they make? That's not a perk. That's an attitude of entitlement taking advantage of people. (NT) No name 17:47:09 03/04/26 Wed

Look how much free publicity that they are getting with this arrangement. They must not be complaining because looking at Sophia's FB page, she seems to be twirling in front of their mirrors so frequently I'm surprised she hasn't pivoted herself into the ground. I highly doubt she is approaching them. They know that every contestant is going to want what Miss NC has, that's why they keep having her wear their stuff. They are not stupid. I, personally feel they are exploiting her, but if it's a satisfactory arrangement with her and the board, that's all that matters. None of my business. (NT) -- No name, 18:33:57 03/04/26 Wed
