The beautiful buxom burlesque babes of Black Hole Burlesque shook what their mamma's gave them for our Mardi Gras Dr. Sketchy event! Our models for the night were the fabulous Angelina Sofia, Lily Stitches, and appearing for her first time on our stage, Evie Apple. Each lovely lady not only brought sizzling looks (and SHADE!) to the stage for our artists to draw, but also danced their hearts out with saucy burlesque routines to make you sweat! It was hotter than New Orleans in the Capitoline basement! We had three rounds of sketching, three burlesque acts, and three prize winners!

Lily Stitches starts us off right with quick poses for warm up sketching (check out that fabulous dress!).

Then Angelina Sofia joins her, wearing the most adorable 1920's flapper inspired ensemble!

And um, peep that sign in the background... we're so official!

After each round, we ask our artists to bring up their favorite sketch for a chance at a prize. And the winner is...

First timer, Natalie! During the break, Angelina Sofia performed a little New Orleans Shuffle burlesque routine.

To start off round two, Evie Apple served us some peacock showgirl realness.

Lily Stitches joined, this time looking ravishing in red.

Sketching is very serious business!

It's fascinating to see the different mediums artists use!

Our round 2 winner!

During our second break, Evie Apple had us "Feelin' Good" during her burlesque routine.

And Lily Stitches was giving legit Jessica Rabbit vibes, No Diggity.

Round 3 brought all our girls back to the stage, with all the sequins and glam of New Orleans!

Ask and you shall receive! While we usually go into longer poses, our artists wanted more showgirl! So that's what we gave 'em- a rapidfire round of 2 minute showgirl poses!

Our final winner for the night, John!

Our next event is Dr. Sketchy's Asbury Park: The Rite of Spring on March 21, 2018, same time, same place. Photos taken by Team Sketchy member CJ Mars for promotional use by Dr. Sketchy's Asbury Park. This was a sketch-only event.

Despite impending snow, Dr. Sketchy's Asbury Park hosted a Dark Carnival, featuring 4 circus folk as models: an aerialist, a bearded lady, a clown, and a fire breather (with imaginary flames, for indoor reasons). Sketchers came from far and wide to observe the wonders of the carnival, and take in the circus-like atmosphere. Bearded Lady Robbin Nite performed a burlesque routine, and Aerialist Agent Topchik performed on her lollipop lyra. Three rounds of sketching produced three prize winners.

Our aerialist started things off with 30 second poses on her lollipop lyra.

Then it got hot as our fire-breather took the stage with his torch.

A stand-off ensued between the gents when our clown meandered up to take the stage.

Our bearded lady was all smiles when she finally graced the stage.

After round 1, we invite the artists to show us their work. It's always such a challenge to choose a winner!

Artist Dre wins the first round! Unfortunately the lights of the circus were too bright and overexposed her sketch...

The winning sketch, seen here in red.

Round two brings us longer poses. Our fire breather and bearded lady start us off.

A bit of in-progress sketching.

Another round, another contest... and this winner is...

Starting up our last round!

Our last round of tough decisions!

Winner winner chicken dinner!
