Subject: I'm sorry, I don't believe any owner literally tells a girl she has to buy a $10,000 dress or she won't win. They may say a 'state level gown' can run $10k. Saying they work with/ sponsor all the major pageant systems is basic marketing, not an attempted extortion where if you don't buy a gown from them, you won't win. If a girl can't manage the pressure of gown salesperson, she's not mature enough for the title.

Knowing another girl's dress isn't any real advantage; more likely a psych out knowing she can outspend her

In reply to: 's message, "The relationship with Paige and Joann's isn't helping MVA. Paige makes the contestants think if they don't buy an expensive gown from her they won't win. It's bullying behavior. No one should have to spend $10,000 on a Sherri Hill gown or be told they won't win if they don't get it. I also don't like the fact there are contestants working at the store seeing the custom design orders of their competition. It isn't right at all." on Sun January 29, 2023 10:22:25

[> [> [> Subject: Paige / Joann’s is helping destroy MVA. It’s true that she BULLIES people into purchasing. It’s not a recommendation it’s a matter of “if you don’t spend more than $10,000 you will lose.” She has been outwardly nasty towards several contestants each year and has insider information on the pageant. There are too many coincidences for it to not be a rigged pageant.
