Please, the man goes by the name Hedge"hog". He just likes the muck, it must be his nature.
Now, about this farewell photo shoot stuff.
I am not at all surprised you are quick to figure out how political and literally unrewarding this industry can be, but I didn't even get to make it to one of your pro shows (not fair). :'(You were IMO treated very unfairly at your last few shows. In fact it was down right insulting and weird. It does seem to be impossible to figure out what the industry wants in figure. I was standing next to a competitor in an elevator after a show in which the competitor had not done as well as most people had expected her to. A judge stepped into the elevator and in conversation suggested maybe next time she should tone down her makeup. When we stepped out of the elevator another judge came by and in conversation suggested next time she wear more makeup. Your legs look great, your muscle tone is great, your presence is great; these jerks just seem to change their mind with the tide.
I am sure you will do amazingly well at anything you do. As I said to you before you have been one of the “more interesting and dynamic competitors to watch“. Unfortunately, these days it is the smart, interesting and dynamic ones that are quick to catch on and quick to rotate out the revolving door of competitors. I am sad for us in the audience that likes the spice you bring to the stage, but glad for you and your "fit gourmet" sweetie.
