Hot time! Summer in the city! Back of my neck getting very unclean and rough. Julia, AKA Lady Lovely, enchantresses and muse extraordinare,
brings us back to the Summer of 1977 In New York! High temperatures! High crime! Rising hemlines! Photos by Dr. Simon, wizard of Park and 73rd.
Your hosts, Molly Crabapple and John Leavitt, dancing queen.
Greetings, gentle art monkeys: helper monkey Eve here, and Molly has graciously given me permission to plug my upcoming show here. No Smoking is a futuristic dystopian political letter to the babysitter state, and it is THIS MONDAY! That is, June the 23rd, one night only. The performance is at 8PM at Stage Left Studio, 438 W. 37th St. Suite 5A. Tickets are $15– buy them in advance at Smarttix, and make sure you select the performance on the 23rd.
There is a reception following, with wine and munchable goodies. Hope to see y'all there!
Dr. Sketchy's presents a tribute to a webcomic nobody reads! Our webcomic: Back Stage! Created by Molly and myself, it's a rousing tale of sex, murder, and newspapers in 1904 New York. Now that saucy ragtime and hide the virgins as Lukki and Melody Sweets give you the best of the Gilded Age!
Lukki is playing Scarlett O'Herring, a fading vaudevillian, and Melody is Minetta Lane, the scheming ingenue! They re-created the costumes for the infamous "last dance" sequence.

Greetings, devotees of all things Sketchy!
This week, our endless quest for the world's great arts and treasures (by which I naturally mean breasts) took us to the far-flung land of Arabia, which I understand is somewhere east of Williamsburgh. It was there that we met the great Sultan Muffinhead.
We found him reclining in his palace, as sultaning is hard work and requires frequent naps. Sultan Muffinhead is a stern but just man, and after several drinks, he agreed to take us into his harem, where he introduced us to his favourite concubine, the beauteous Amber Ray.
Get on point and fluff up the tutus, Dr. Sketchy's gets all classy with a trip to the Ballet!
With our Prima Ballerina, Amelia Danger! As a personal promise to our readers, I will refrain from making any Nutcracker jokes.
Molly Crabapple and myself. Everyone said I looked "Flashdance" but I was going for "All That Jazz." Sigh, no one ever understands my complicated costume-based metaphors! *sob*
Amelia is an actual former New York Ballerina Fairy Princess. So she can do stuff like
Konnichiha Art monkeys! Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School brings you the ancient and beautiful tradition of the Geisha the only way we know how!
With Pearle Noir AKA The Black Pearl as our very own Geisha Gone Wild! Take *that* 600 years of aesthetic refinement!
Pearl came all the way from Texas to delight, amaze and blur cultural lines into one big melting pot of awesome.

Being a dancer, Pearle was able to do….this!
