I'm originally from NJ but I've been in SC for almost 10 years so I won't beat it up too bad but to be honest the only thing SC has over NJ is the cost of living. As for everything else it's not even close. Food, culture, diversity, nightlife, fashion, education, it's not even fair how far ahead NJ is of SC.
1. If you dont like "yankee pizza" then you are also the same type of person that enjoys The Olive Garden. Pizza Hut/Papa Johns/The Olive Garden are not REAL italian food.... its americanized
I actually hate Olive Garden too...and many of the ingredients used in "real" Italian food. Take it with a grain of salt...Im a picky, picky eater.

Then I guess that would make the two states relatively even, if we're basing it on this contest (and just for argument's sake, we might as well), and therefore that doesnt make NJ women better looking than those from here (as was the implication...if I made the wrong guess then my apologies)

3. There is more to people than there clothes..... I agree. But, if I am not attracted to a person on the outside then I dont care to know there inside
I will stick with what I wear.... Dolce & Gabbana, Rock and Republic, Armani Exchange, True Religion, Diesel, Ed Hardy, etc any day over what people wear in SC....... which is boat shoes, rainbow flip flops, carolina girls best in the world tshirts, and croakies (the cheesy looking sunglasses straps)
NYC is the fashion capital of the world.... NYC influences the whole state of NJ on everything including fashion
Dear God..I was embarrassed for her when I saw/heard about that. But all a Miss America Pageant really implies is that they're pretty. Never said the contestants/winners were geniuses.
"Fashion Capital of the World" is highly debateable. London, Paris, and Tokyo give them a damn good run for their money, and Im sure alot of people would argue with you over it.
And perhaps its just me...but the designers you named dont impress me at all. Just another business, just another label.
Truthfully, if I were to see someone encased in designer things first thought would be "WHY spend that much money on CLOTHES?! " and would likely write them off as a "No thanks". No insult meant to you, but thats just me.
And...off topic..but as far as "designers" go, do you have any idea how cheaply alot of that stuff is produced, then sold for somtimes triple what it cost to make it? Sorry...thats the business major in me kicking in...rant over. lol

I agree with what your saying..... NYC might not be the fashion capital of the world. But you have admit its atleast in the top 5
I have an MBA..... so I understand what designers do

And it doesnt bug you? Makes my inner cheapskate absolutely scream.
Honestly I think the things you're describing about SC just outline the cultural differences between the two states, and even between the two regions.
People ( generalized statement) in SC dont particularly care what you're wearing, or how much money you make. In fact, you're just as likely to find a millionaire wearing the same type of clothing you've just said was tacky as you would in designers. There are social circles in Charleston that no matter how much money you've got, no matter who you are, you can't get into them unless you're born into it.
I actually know several well-to-do people that shun BMW's for beaten up pickup trucks, simply because they dont feel the need to show off their wealth.
It seems as if people (again generalized statement) from NJ are a bit more materialistic and have more of the "Look at me" mentality. I could be wrong, though. However, that's the impression Ive gotten.

It's true to an extent, but I think that's just the city mentality everyone there has. If you have money and like nice things you want people to see that. SC folks are much more humble about it. As you said I've seen guys who live in half million dollar homes on Daniels Island and drive $80,000 cars who dress like they're going to volunteer at a soup kitchen.
Ive actually had Yankee pizza...and hated it. That crunchy crust stuff is awful...
I'm really not interested in getting into this catfight, but I found this comment exceptionally ignorant.
I guess when you are raised eating pig slop, your brain tricks you into thinking it's "good" because that's about all I can compare Hungry Howies too - pig slop.
Maybe you're right, forget pizza that resembles that which you get walking around the streets of Naples.
I'd rather have frozen, mass produced, processed crap brought in on a semi and reheated on a conveyor belt over fresh made dough and fresh sauce, fresh toppings cooked in a coal fired brick oven. Yea, sign me up.
But, I guess after 20 years of marriage, even a butt ugly women starts to look good.

I used to wait on people like that. There was a man who was a millionaire but you would never know it by his lifestyle, or his tipping habits lol

Wow, you get really defensive if someone doesnt like your pizza, dont you?
How is stating a food preference ignorant? If a pizza has a crunchy crust I wont like it...whether is from the North or Naples. Its a texture thing to me...I hate most crunchy things...including fried chicken (I pick the fried part off) so its simply a personal preference.

Maybe that's just why he's a millionaire! haha.
I selected New Jersey. I like South Carolina very much. A family member retired there and I enjoy visiting for a long weekend once in awhile. It's a nice getaway. But the pace of life and being in a major metropolitan area is the lifestyle for me.
