Hello!
Sunday's session with Gina Louise was fantastic and what a wonderful turn out. Thanks to all, old and new who showed. Gina open the session up with a short warm up then inspired us with an act to Julie London's "Yummy Yummy Yummy" When I got to the 331 to set up there was a giant Styrofoam banana on the stage. Can I mention this is one of the many reasons I love me life? A giant banana is such an everyday occurrence I just shoved it into the storage closet. Imagine Gina's delight when I was able to just pull that thing out when she said "I wish I'd brought some food to pose with" Utterly Ridiculous.
Contests were challenging this session with: Best of Gina w/ Baby New Year or Father Time, Best of Gina & Ophelia taking on the world and Gina Louise with Cabin fever. As usual the Art Monkey's of the
What an awesome session! November 28th marked the inaugural session of singing at Dr. Sketchy's Twin Cities. The lovely Kitten Van Der Snatch did her breath taking and hilarious rendition of Rossini's "Largo al factotum." We honored the birthday of Motown Mogul Berry Gordy and showcased some awesome skills in shading. Congrats to our winners and thanks to all who came out on the holiday weekend.
Whoo-hoo! Thanks to all that came out to our last session on October 24th featuring Tila Von Twirl from Chicago. Since Tila did her Mary Jane act we decided focus some contests around........Pot. Equally as ridiculous in another contest titled This Moment in History we also celebrated the birth of Dennis Anderson (the creator of Monster Truck "Grave Digger"). Praise be the gifts Mr. Anderson has brought to HUMANKIND! Needless to say the incorporations of Tila like or as a Monster Truck were delightful. See you next month!
Wonderful event featuring Chicago Starlette, Cherokee Rose. In addition to some fantastic work we discussed the Webster definition of the word Burlesque and cultural appropriations. Cherokee spoke about her heritage and her intention behind her act with is a parody on Native American stereotypes. We included a coloring contest of the most ridiculous coloring page. Who knew the Indians also gave us ARM WRESTLING! There was a whole other series having to do with penises and pilgrims instigated by none other then Dik Donavon our naughty bartender.
Thanks again for a great session!
Check out a sample of some of the amazing work from the September session!
Hello!
Wow another great session and turn out! Lots of people new to Dr. Sketchy's and some truly amazing work. Lula Houp-Garou was a complete darling and gave us some fantastic lines. We were blown away by her light up Jelly Fish hula-hooping act. This was clear artist by seeing the work created. The under the sea theme was a popular contest.
