The Nearly Naked Truth this Friday!

Don’t forget, Gilded Lily Burlesque is performing Friday night!  If you’ve come to just one of our sessions, the odds are pretty good someone from Gilded Lily posing.  This is possibly the best burlesque show Alexis and I’ve seen in Baltimore (or anywhere else).  It’s one thing to see Viola, Sable, Paco, Maria, Luna, Lena, or Lucille sit still for a sketchpad, it’s something else entirely to see their art.

The Nearly Naked Truth

Come join Baltimore’s premiere burlesque troupe, Gilded Lily Burlesque, on Friday May 22nd for The Nearly Naked Truth! It’s a nostalgic romp back to the days when men were men and dames were kittens. These lovely ladies (with the help of Paco Fish, outstanding news reporter) will help you navigate the slippery slopes of sex, drugs, plaid pants and communism.

But, don’t get too uptight daddio! After witnessing a spicy shimmy here and a saucy shake there, you’ll be happily sliding down that slope, too! So let Gilded Lily Burlesque reveal to you the Nearly Naked Truth- it’s the American thing to do!

TWO SHOWS! 7:30 and 10:30.
Tickets are $15 and will be available in advance. Watch this space for a link. THIS WILL SELL OUT!

One lonely but lovely Lena sketch, plus Little Luna tonight!

So here’s the one sketch we received of Lena Grove from our March 23 session. A huge thanks to Gene Azzam for sharing:

glove-on-glove-off

These were from the two ten-minute poses–the contest again was to use the two poses to create a two-panel narrative, and the prizes again were wood panels from Artist & Craftsman Supply.

We also stumbled on Andrew Spangler’s blog, which has not one, but two awesome vector illustrations of Lena based on his sketches from the 3/23 session. Yeah, yeah, I sound like a sad little broken record every time I say this, but we love getting your sketches, so start sending them to us again.

The five-Monday month of March gave us a little break, but not only will we be back at Dionysus tonight for more drawing and debauchery, but Little Luna of Gilded Lily Burlesque will be back to inspire our talented audience. And we’ll be giving away more prizes from Artist & Craftsman Supply and Atomic Books, plus the first of three awesome books we’ve gotten from our newest sponsor, Baby Tattoo. See you tonight!
