Noah Benezra is hilarious.  Like a younger version of Mark Siano but on crack coffee and black tar maple syrup. Seriously. And may I add, the perfect energetic mix for his current character “Wolf” in Bed Snake at Washington Ensemble Theatre. When I originally asked Noah if...

When I first started the “Working Artists of Theatre” project in January 2012, actor Hannah Victoria Franklin was playing the character “SIS” in Tommy Smith‘s WHITE HOT [see also The Men of  WHITE HOT].   I’ve seen Hannah perform before...

Diva le Déviant is Seattle’s hottest FeMC. Oh Diva…  The first time I met her was one of the first of many cabarets I have attended over the last year and a half. Honestly, I didn’t have a lick of knowledge of what to expect in one of these shows, and Diva le...

Kimmie Durham is the cute and sexy girl of Modern Luv. After photographing modern glam girl Madison in the rain, I drove my little cheeks downtown to ACT – A Contemporary Theatre to shoot Modern Luv hottie, Kimmie.  Traffic was wicked and we ended up only having a few minutes to...

Madison Greenlund is the modern glam girl of Modern Luv. The other day she and I met at the studio space next to Gas Work Park to do a full “What’s in Your Closet?” special, but we had a series of quirky events that led us to do a second shoot.  Remember I told you when...

The winner is… Annie Brown-Garner!  Peachy video fave: I love when she says Modern Love Sparkletard. AND the quote from White Hot is: “PS: What do you consider your greatest achievement? RT: It hasn’t happened yet, I hope.” I’d LOVE to have a strap or two!...
