Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore: the 15th Anniversary Session
featuring Eva Mystique & Bebe Bardeaux
Thursday, June 8 at Creative Alliance

This month, we’re celebrating 15 years of drinks, drawing, and dazzling models! For this milestone session, we’re thrilled to have not just one, but two of our artists’ favorite models: Eva Mystique and Bebe Bardeaux!

Here’s more about our June muses:

Eva Mystique is a nationally known burlesque performer having toured the U.S. from coast to coast. She’s 2019/2020 Miss DC Latinx Pride, resident  performer at some of the east coast’s most reputable burlesque venues such as Duane Park in New York and Fabrika in Philadelphia. Whether she’s turning up the heat with her fire dancing, defying gravity on a pole or blowing your mind with a hula hoop; she’s the Jane of all trades and the mistress of your hearts. Eva prides herself on fusing classic belly dance, tease, twerk and flexible floor work – rendering devastatingly beautiful numbers that embody all that is feminine and magical. She oozes sensuality from every pore and beckons you with just a glance; and it’s only a matter of time before she casts her spell on you. But be careful… for Eva Mystique is the witch that cannot be burned. 

Standing at a statuesque 4’11, Bebe Bardeaux is the award-winning Doll of Washington, D.C.! This petite powerhouse is a shake dancer, burlesque performer, pinup model, and professional rollergirl who proves that big things can come in small packages. Bebe is a graduate of Chocolate City’s Studio Holliday, and is an Original Goddess (O.G.) of the House of Knyle. She was voted #46 in the worldwide 2021 Top 50 of Burlesque, presented by 21st Century Burlesque Magazine. In 2019, she won the Golden Smile Award at the Golden Legends Champion Challenge. Bebe competed in the 2018 Burlypicks World Championship after taking home the top prize in the D.C. regionals, and was nominated for the New York Burlesque Festival’s 2018 Hottest Freshman Golden Pastie Award. A vintage glamour girl at heart, Bebe has been featured in several pinup magazines including Retro Lovely, Delicious Dolls, and Pinup Life. Bebe is the shake dancer of your wildest dreams, wowing audiences all over the world — and you’re up next!

A few things to know about our venue!

As Creative Alliance will be handling our ticket sales through their website and box office, a service fee will be applied to transactions made online or over the phone, as well as in-person ticket sales made within three hours of the event. You can avoid this fee by purchasing tickets in person at Creative Alliance in advance, either when they’re open to the public between 12 noon and 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, or while attending another event at the venue (they’re open an hour prior to all events and classes). Creative Alliance members save on admission to Sketchy’s and the variety of other events and workshops CA has to offer, so if you look through their calendar and like what you see, consider becoming a CA member!

Lastly, if you’ve found yourself in a back row at past Sketchy’s sessions, unable to see the model from the waist-down without having to stand, take note: Creative Alliance’s theater is huge, has a slightly higher stage than the Windup’s, and there are no columns or giant speakers between you and the model, so we expect most attendees should have a head-to-toe view of the model! You’re also more likely to be able to get a seat at a table, but we still encourage you to arrive early for the best seats!
