This month at DR SKETCHYS we go all uber-retro and journey back to a time of between-the-wars glamour and the decadent club life of the 1930s JAZZ ERA.
Helping our art-monkeys make this journey back in time will be two of Brisbanes most gorgeous Burlesque Beauties , MISS BELLA DE JAC and MISS LITA LYNX ! These two elegant and sensual ladies will bring a mix of old-world glitz and speakeasy transgression to the night as they stalk the catwalk swathed in slinky ballgowns, sinful lingerae and sparkling showgirl regalia. Our audience of effete, absinthe-addled artists and their shameless companions will have difficulty in maintaining their composure as BELLA and LITA strike poses of uncommon grace and smouldering seductiveness.
Returning from a corrupt and lawless tour of the countrys shadiest Gin Joints and most violent Honkytonks is our favouite Mistress of Ceremonies, the incandescent MISS MAE WILDE. Mae will be expecting a certain level of sophistication from the audience as befits the escapism of the period. It would be wise not to dissappoint her....
Occupying his customary position in the orchestra pit will be the always slightly dishevelled and DOC, ably assisted by MISS CURLY LA RUE , the smiling assasin, bringing order to the chattering masses scratching at the ticket booth window.
On hand to capture the mayhem for the perusal of the authorities will be the people of the marvellous GOLDCOAST PINUP PHOTOGRAPHY studios.
Get there about 6.OOPM for a 6.30PM start. Bring $15 to get past Curley la Rue, and if you're drawing, bring your own non-messy art materials.
If not drawing , then just swan about and enjoy the night, offering unsolicited advice and spilling gin from one table to the next.HUZZAH!
