Roger Fojas is one of my favourite three Lucent Dossier members.

"Ringmaster" Roger Fojas
Roger Fojas, or "Ringmaster Roger", is one of the members of the Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque. He works as a dancer with Dusty, Katie Kay, Agent Red, and many other members. He was one of the founding memebers of the group.
Roger's fame (and the fame of Lucent Dossier) has spread because of the group's many involvements with bands like Panic at the Disco.
This is one of my favorite poses/pictures of Roger. He's in costume before one of the preformances with Panic.
I like how Ryan and Roger have a similar swirl on the same cheek. Both have an affinity for bold makeup. (Or at least Ryan used to.)
The Panic boys got along well with Roger, Dusty, Katie, and Eric.
I'm pretty sure it's because Roger and Ryan bonded over makeup and pageboy hats. Brendon, Jon, and Roger all like to make silly faces. And as for Spencer and Roger? I'm pretty sure they hit it off because they're both made of win.
I love the picture above because it's a collage by Roger. Take a minute to study every picture. Most of the pictures feature fans of Panic, Roger, Katie, and Dusty. A few feature combinations of the Panic boys and Roger. All are pretty much awesome. Personally, I love the one with Zack and Roger.
I'm also pretty sure Jon, Brendon, and Roger could also bond over the fact that at one point in time they have all been in a bear costume.
Lucent Dossier also appeared in Panic's video for I Write Sins Not Tragedies.

Dusty's in a pink rag wig, and Roger had an interesting costume of his own.
Roger has other connections to bands under the FBR/Decadance label though. These include The Hush Sound and Cobra Starship.
The Hush Sounds, Panic at the Disco, and The Dresden Dolls were all on a tour together. During this time Roger, Dusty, and Katie danced for Panic. That's how Roger and the Hushies became friends.
They like to make faces together too.
Roger shot this promotional picture for Like Vines.
There are more shots from this. (Some of them will be discussed later in this primer.)
Roger and the members of Cobra Starship are also friends.
Roger's in the video for Cobra Starship's Send My Love To The Dancefloor, I'll See You In Hell (Hey Mister DJ). You can see him near the doors in the party scenes when people are coming in. (Near the end.)

Roger isn't just a preformer with Lucent Dossier though, he also helps coordinate fashion shows.
The only appropriate caption that I can think of for the picture below is "Roger has a dash of Dracula in him."
At this point I hope that you've noticed how a great deal of the pictures I've used so far are credited to Roger Fojas.
Aside from his preformances and fashion show coordination, Roger spends a great deal of his time as a freelance photographer. He's responsible for several popular pictures that I'm willing to bet you didn't know he shot.
Roger shot this picture at the set of the video for I Write Sins Not Tragedies.
He's also responsible for this picture, which is one of my favourite Panic pictures.
He's also the mastermind behind this shot. It's simply gorgeous.
He's shot several awesome pictures of the Hushies, as I mentioned above. I love this one.
I love the idea behind this shot and how Roger is perpetually attatched to a camera. Just like Tom Conrad, who was on tour with Panic and my favourite three members of Lucent Dossier.
Roger is also very artistic. There's this amazing pair of shoes he created (there's pictures on his Myspace) that look like a pair of banana peels.
Basically, Roger is made of win and awesomeness. There is a ton of love for him in my soul.
He takes gorgeous pictures with Dusty.
His public Myspace I used a great deal of his pictures on here, but new ones are uploaded pretty frequently. You should check out more of his art in the albums. It's gorgeous.
Myspace for his photography There are some seriously gorgeous pictures on here.
I love the pictures that the members of Lucent Dossier come up with.
He has a gorgeous smile, doesn't he?
I think he needs more love from people, or at least some recognition.
Roger Fojas: inspirational, talented, seventeen different levels of pure win.
Go forth and spread Roger. He's amazing and has connections to many bands.
