Gideon Hodge - 2020.

The Clown Prince of Cabaret, Gideon Hodge, has been terrorizing stages around the country for nearly 20 years. Known for his boisterous, zany characters and his dynamic movement and acrobatic style, Gideon brings his circus and theatrical background to the stage in his various personas and creative endeavors.

Gideon and I last worked together in June of last year when he commissioned me for some new headshots for what I thought would be a book jacket photo. I thought we got some very usable images, but unfortunately, they weren’t quite what was needed for the job.

I wanted the chance to make things right, and Gid wanted to capture something more closely resembling the work I’ve been doing in my home studio. So, of course, I invited him right over, and with the help of Courtney from Courtney Walters Makeup, it was off to the races.

Gideon also pursues his own writing with sitcom Pros and Cons, web series 20 Something, novel Lilith’s Redemption and other projects. For updates, please follow up on Instagram @gidjinn or at gideonhodge.com He can also be found at his podcast A Strange, Strange World on Spotify, Anchor and other platforms.

He profusely thanks all of you for putting up with him for all these years, and looks forward to many adventures to come. He is available for contact for bookings and appearances at gideonhodge@gmail.com

Magenta Marie - 2020.

I first met Magenta when she was DJing for the show in which she found her name, Rocky Horror, at the famous Plaza Theater here in Atlanta. Though we were introduced through a mutual friend, it quickly became clear that she is the Kevin Bacon of many scenes in Atlanta. It doesn’t matter what crowd you run in, someone knows Magenta, and soon you will too.

Although this is the first time she has appeared as herself in this blog (that I can remember anyway), you have seen her “beat face” many times throughout my time here. Including, but not limited to, her own partner Taylor.

These days you can find Magenta as one of the “Fem-cees” of The FanDOM Nerdlesque where she regularly appears as the hostess with the most-est. Be sure to catch her a show near you, and give her some love.
