Everything old is new again this week at Dr. Sketchy's as our very first model, the lively Dottie Lux one again graced out stage. Before she came as a naughty clown, delighting us and re-kindling lost childhood nightmares. But this week she came as uh, er ….
Ms.Piggy-Streetwalker-Parasol-Person, thing. It confused and amazed, just the way we like it! I thought she would come as a clown again, so all that circus music seemed curiously out of place. She also brought a whole birthday cake to share with the Art Monkeys. Cake for breakfast! Who says we aren't transgressive?

Hello Art Monkeys!
The hot summer winds brought a whrilwind of rippling man beef to the Dr. Sketchy stage: The White Boom Boom. This boylesque hunk had a whole lotta shakin going on. but also brought in his own gun, holster, cigar, and work shirts to send us to the very heights of rough-trade fantasy. His expertly hyperactive rockabilly CDs didn't hurt either. Enough of my mooning, onto the photos!
MOlly is in Paris this week having "the Operation". Until then Me and Syd Bernstien will drive the whole show into the ground, just for you!

Greetings, art primates of all genera!
Last week, your delightful usual blogger Mr. Leavitt was diagonosed with an ovarian cyst that would later turn out to just be a smudge on the x-ray. He bravely dealt with this illness the way he handles all of life's challenges - with copious amounts of alcohol. So it was that he spent this Saturday in the hospital suffering from liver failure that would later turn out to be another smudge on the same x-ray. The always-lovely Molly Crabapple and I had to run Dr. Sketchy's shorthanded, but what we lack in hands, we more than make up for in chutzpah!
Besides, we all learned a
Hello Art Monkeys!
Our last session had a bit of a snafu. Burlesque Queen Dirty martini was ready, willing, and able to rock your world, but a small scheduling error caused everyone to bounce out of orbit. For a second, it appeared we would have no model! Who will save Christmas!? Luckily, Our Very Own Molly Crabapple is an ex-model and sometimes burlesque star. She dusted off the spangles and feathers and proceeded to stand still for various lengths of time. Now thats entertainment!
Can't you just hear her thinking, "Great, no one is going to take me seriously as a business lady now!"?
All photos today come from the talented camera of Rockin' Ryan Roman. You sir, are the most perfect being alive. And I mean that sincerely.
Actual Dr. Sketchy
