You'd be forgiven for thinking Mango Tango's had been the scene of a bloody massacre as you approached the stage prepped for Cruella and Eon's psychiatric unit. This provocative pair are Falmouth's debut double-act and it was certainly set to be a treat! Even from within the constraints of a straitjacket and wheelchair, flesh could not be held back for long. With two models on stage together, it allowed for intimate interaction and unique poses that our sketchers had not encountered before now. A dark soundtrack echoed around the ward, whilst our models encouraged anything but rehabilitation. After locking down the insanity ward, Betty Corbeau spun the globe and took us to a safer locale. Flaunting garlands, a grass skirt and little else, this flowery delight was ready to hula along the beach with her flamingo on display. Sketchers were asked to turn Miss Corbeau into a film character of their choosing, which had them scratching down their favourites, from Charlie Chaplin to Mary Poppins. 'Now where is our Victorian drag act', I hear you cry. Well you were in luck to bare witness to the finest looking moustachioed man-ladies since 1837. The stage lighting added an unexpected twist to the atmosphere, giving our models the perfect chance set themselves up within the crowd and get all personal with their poker faces and chess board shenanigans. A longer pose saw the return of the classic sketchbook-swap, where pairs could scribble on each others’ sketches to create freakish, hybrid super-drawings! Sketchers of Falmouth were privileged to see Betty Corbeau perform her all-new Harpie Marx act, complete with the grabbing of honking horns and tangled underwear. Betty kept her act going for the entirety of the set and performed some brilliant poses like the fisty-cuffs. How on earth she managed to get all her kit within that jacket, we will never know. A fight almost broke out over the subject of this month's incorporate an animal from your imagination round. Our fabulous host, Fondant Fancy, silenced any giraffe doubters by simply suggesting they chose the alternative. That'll learn 'em! Sketches of Harpie Marx groping giraffe testicles confirmed that good quality mind-filth was present as usual, and that is just how we like it. Contest winners were spoilt with some very artsy-craftsy prizes... colouring books, felt pens and one lucky winner bagging an Etch A Sketch. A huge thank you to Loading Cafe on Quay Street, Falmouth for the amazing prize offerings. Also, thank you to our fantastic time-keeper, Emma from Two Little Birds, for helping contain Fondant’s oft meanderings.
