The last Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore of 2014 is Monday, December 8th with Buster Britches and special guest host, Valeria Voxx!

It's the last session of the year folks and we're saving one of the best for last. Alexis and I have been running into Buster Britches for years, be it at the Asheville Burlesque & Sideshow Festival every spring, or at shows in the DC and Baltimore area when some lucky folks were able to lure him up from Richmond. One of the reasons—and this is the God's Honest Truth—we had a burlesque show at our wedding's after-party was to have Buster perform for our friends and family—and he didn't disappoint.

Here's some copy I cribbed from www.clowncabaret.com....

"Buster Britches has been on stages across America doing everything from Children's Theatre to Burlesque. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, he has affectionately been called Vaudeville's Clown. He has performed in Vaudeville shows around central Virginia including: Vaudeville Galore and The Slomski Cabaret. He also is the producer of Buster's Haunted Stage Shows and the Artistic Director for Richmond's haunt group The Red Vein Army bringing Virginia a unique brand of variety theatre with a ghostly twist. He is excited to be making his debut for the Clown Cabaret and the DC area."

See, we—and I mean you—got lucky, 'cause Buster has moved to DC.

Dr. Sketchy's doesn't have male models often, folks, and that's because they're few and hard to find. And, when we do find a good one, his calendar is more full than a confessional the day after Mardi Gras—that, THAT, or the siren calls of NYC snatch him away.

Now, let's get real for a second—I know a few of you are all like, "But Aaron, I just want to draw ta-tas!"

[holds up hands defensively] I *know* that's not all of you, not even *most* of you, but I'm talking to just those folks for a second—[makes a 'v' with his fingers, points at your eyes, then back at his]—TRUST ME.

Buster is a striking, sexy man—but beyond all that, he's one the more interesting folks you'll get a chance to draw in your WHOLE LIFE. If the roles were reversed, and I was sitting in the audience once a month, versus cussing at furniture and the video camera, he's one of the ones I'd skip work to draw. You feel like your sketch pad needs some variety? This is it—and knowing the way Buster's star is rising, you probably won't get a second chance.

What else?

Oh yeah—Alexis could pop any day now, so she's going to take a break from hosting, which means we're going to have a slew of guest hosts over the next couple of months. First up—Valeria Voxx!

Anything could happen—will she throw a beer in Russell's face? Will Buster and her get into some sort of weird, sideshow, broken glass/animal trap brawl? Will the battered, cardboard tree I drag out every year and string with lights finally catch fire? Will Alexis go into labor and throw everything into total chaos?

Who knooooooows....
