Not only that, but Gilded Lily is having a show at the Palace of Wonders in DC on Friday as well.
Here’s the copy from the Palace of Wonders webiste….
Gilded Lily Burlesque invites you to join them for Drunk, Loose and Sloppy- a down-and-dirty night of titillating burlesque performances at their favorite DC sideshow museum and burlesque venue- the Palace of Wonders! These sassy performers will combine 50% good old-fashioned striptease and 50% theatrical performance to not only tantalize, but also entertain and engage their audience- that means YOU! So, don’t miss out on your chance to get drunk, loose and sloppy with Baltimore’s best burlesque troupe!
Alexis and I are in Vancouver at the moment, but we’ll be back Friday and are going to try and make both. Don’t know if it’ll happen, but we’re going to try. 🙂
BTW, next Dr. Sketchy’s with Little Luna is on April 13th . . . I’m working on the flyer right now while sitting in the hotel room, so it should be up in a couple days. 🙂
As I’m still a little hung-over and bummed about losing an hour of my already short day (waking up at 1 p.m. then realizing it’s actually 2 when you have a shit-ton of things to do kinda sucks), I’m not gonna get too chatty here. So, without further ado, here are the Lady Vile sketches we’ve received from you.
A montage of sketches by Annika Romeyn. She won a brand-new sketchbook from Artist & Craftsman Supply for the drawing of the mouse-infested Lady Vile, her entry for the second contest of the night which was to illustrate a guess at how our model got her name.
The following three drawings are by the lovely burlesque star Lily Stark White.
These next three are from Chip Molter.
From one of our most faithful regulars, Mary Tully:
And, last but certainly not least, sketches from another regular, Gene Snyder.
Gene’s opposite-hand drawing:
Gene’s entry for the “best depiction of a chimp attack”:
And, since we didn’t get a scan of the winning chimp attack drawing, here’s a photo of the winner with her entry (the one with the dozen chimps, on the right):
As an aside, the guy on the left apparently has been collecting our flyers, which is pretty flattering. I would have included photos of his binder, which is covered with flyers from as far back as October, but the photo came out way too dark, unfortunately.
And, in case you’re not on our mailing list (email us if you want to get on it), or haven’t joined our Facebook group, or haven’t noticed the link on our Myspace page, check out Andras Frenyo’s amazing panoramic photos of this session.
Don’t forget that our next session is tomorrow night (or tonight, if you’re reading this at your desk on Monday), when Bambi Galore will be up from DC to pose for your drawing pleasure. Bambi is not only part of the DC Gurly Show and DC Libertines, but she also hosted the DC branch of Dr. Sketchy’s. See you then!
