Subject: Sunday comments

The pageant in Madison last night was a nice show and Halle will be a great Miss Madison and likely a sure-bet to make top ten (11) at Miss Wisconsin next June.

However, there was drama after the crowning last night right in the auditorium when one contestant was overheard saying to an older woman "I got nothing out of this" (as if she expected even the losers would win a $1,000 scholarship and $500.00 in prizes).

And then people could hear pageant director Tara Pizer yell out to Jeff because she heard from someone that he allegedly told Susan Foches that she was fat.

I guess the memo from top Miss America officials about "No fat-shaming at pageants" got to Tara and she took charge. We could not hear exactly what Jeff told Tara but nothing came of it and hard-telling what was really the truth and back story. I asked others and no one heard him saying anything about being fat, but then we did shadow either of them when at the pageant. But over-all it was a good pageant. There were a couple of the contestants (shockingly past entrants) who really need some consulting and wardrobe assistance, but all 18 contestants did a nice job.

This all sounds nutty and some feelings were hurt perhaps if this about a fat comment is -- true, but its a beauty contest, looks are involved on stage, 09:24:04 12/12/23 Tue
- If you don't know the story, then don't comment -- and who gives a shit about what a volunteer looks like?, 11:42:16 12/12/23 Tue
  - MAO just moved up age eligibility---is Susan Fochs still competing? She was Miss Door Co. 2017. -- Confused who said what to whom, did she compete at Madison?, 12:46:08 12/12/23 Tue
    - I heard the same, and it is insane to move age requirement to 28---what 28 year-old (other -- than a GED-drop-out who needs time) starts college at 28?, 08:22:51 12/13/23 Wed
      - Former Miss Door County Susan Fochs probably could still compete, she is not yet 28, her -- name wasn't on the Miss Madison contestant list posted here., 08:32:35 12/13/23 Wed
        Susan is 29, so she can't compete anymore. -- She was a volunteer for Tara Pizer on Saturday, 08:46:17 12/13/23 Wed
- I'm a former local WI director, unbeknownst to state folks I've discreetly long been friends w/ Jeff -- & there must be some misunderstand--he would never say that, 10:56:21 12/14/23 Thu
  - What do you mean by discreetly being longtime friends with him? -- Were you not at Miss Madison last Saturday afternoon?, 11:04:58 12/15/23 Fri
    - Because state folks have told local EDs to not speak or work with him -- However, he had always been a great help and source of info, 14:02:33 12/15/23 Fri
