Shanah tovah, Art Monkeys!

Hey! I know what you all are thinking. "I wonder what's going on at the Brooklyn Museum." Well, I'm glad you asked. They're having an exhibition called "Andy Warhol: The Last Decade" showcasing the last ten years of the man who was the face of TDK in Japan. It is going on until tomorrow, so if you hurry, you can still make it. We were there. We did a very special Andy Warhol Dr. Sketchy's there, even. I know you think that we abandoned Brooklyn when we ran off to Manhattan, but in our hearts, our home is still in Brooklyn, especially those of us who are living in Brooklyn. The point is, we love Brooklyn and we love museums and the Brooklyn Museum combines the best of both.

The implausibly gorgeous Delysia La Chatte and Dame Cuchifrita posed for us and, as luck would have it, our own photographer Justin Lussier happened to be there and took a few snapshots for us.

Dame was escorted to the event by her long-time companion, the disembodied head of Mick Jagger on a stick.

Delysia was accompanied only by her own impeccible sense of fashion.

The "Dr. Sketchy" series is a lesser-known, but indispensible part of Warhol's body of work.

Here we see scenes from one of Warhol's more commercial films, La Chatte.

For all of the hand fetishists in the audience, here are some candid shots of our sexy artists at work.

Big-time celebrity artist Molly Crabapple was on hand to give instruction, offering pointers such as "Draw better," and "No, better than that."

Delysia relaxes on a break from her shift at the factory.

Dame made the best of her quadruple amputee horse.

Consider the following: Studio 54 was a disco that Andy Warhol frequented. 58 was his age at death. Just imagine how freaky it would have been if he had died four years earlier.

Ms. Cuchifrita knows how to mourn in style.

On that sad note, we must leave the Andy Warhol session. Thank you to Molly, Melissa, Justin, Keith, Dolce, and everyone else who made this happen. We'll see you again soon.
