Miss Sugarpuss is thrilled to be able to bring her special brand of seductive sweetness to the folks here in Nihon! Though this is her second visit to beautiful Tokyo, it will be her first Japanese Dr. Sketchy`s experience! A burlesque performer since 2004, Miss Sugarpuss has written, produced, directed and starred in oodles of burlesque plays and cabaret nights, both independently and with Team Burlesque, a collective network which she co-founded along with Seska Lee and L. Diablo, also from Montreal. Miss Sugarpuss now teaches burlesque classes and has several more projects on the go. She hopes to return to Tokyo often and is excited to meet you! Yatta!
By now you’ve been mesmerized by the hypnotic moves of Dr. Sketchy’s February starlet, Miss Qamarah. What you didn’t know is that this belly dancing ingenue came to us all the way from Ibaraki on a moment’s notice and pulled off a show that was so skilled, professional and above all Sketchtastic that she inspired one artist to give her their entire sketchpad as gratitude for such an amazing performance.
Here’s a little glimpse for all you Art Monkeys who missed the show.

Mako’s transformation is now complete and this chameleon of the stage and dance hall will deliver a Sketchtastic performance WEDNESDAY JANUARY 28th at The Pink Cow in Shibuya.
Hey Art Monkeys,
It’s only been a week since the 1st Annual Dr. Sketchy’s Exhibition Party and it feels like a lifetime ago.
The lights.
The glitz.
The glam.
It’s a story told best with pictures.
Enjoy.

MISS EROCHICA BAMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This world renowned veteran of the international cabaret scene, nightclubs, theatres and museums alike will now add fiery muse to her list of accolades as she employs her hypnotic technique to inspire the artisan in you.
From the yakuza to the Japanese Royal Family, blue collar to white collar and everything in between! ALL of them have gazed upon her erotic mystique. This is one burlesque tour that will never end.
She’s Hotter than Wasabi!
This crowned QUEEN of Miss Exotic Word 2003 will be performing her super spicy Burlesque dance right here on our stage.

She has directed and choreographed Muraskai Babydoll since 2003.
As a teenager she was a rhythmic gymnastics player and after High School
she learned contemporary dance and Botoh at University.
She describes her style as an old musical with a fever.
In 2007 Violet Eva won “Best Debut”act at the Exotic World Competition
in Las Vegas.

Doors open at 6:30pm

For more information about our next session go here.
The September session was a rip roaring success. There were more new faces than ever before and inspiration flowed abundant as Safi played a saultry seductive muse.
Cherry Typhoon made her MC debut and had the crowd in absolute stitches as she narrated the story of “Safi and The Big Boobies” and the mood was just right as DJ DaiLight spun the perfect mix of right brain rhythms that kept the pencils scratching the pad well into the night!
If you didn’t make it this time around the next Dr. Sketchy’s is October 21st at The Pink Cow. That’s a TUESDAY for all you regulars out there (an irregular night because it’s Halloween season!)
Theme is TBD at the moment but most likely will have something to do with Halloween!
We’ve had a pretty upsetting event happen this past weekend here in Portland–my September model was attacked. Two men approached him around midnight on Friday, and started saying homophobic slurs to him, and then proceeded to beat him enough to concuss him and cause bleeding of the brain. You can read more about it here: http://news.mainetoday.com/updates/032723.html
This is, of course, very scary and outrageous. Already, local Portland queers and artists alike have rallied around what happened, and are doing their best to organize and educate, and the police are searching for the attackers.
A close friend of our model has created a website — healportland.com — to let people know about our model’s status, donate money (since he has no healthcare), and leave well-wishing messages. I was wondering if it would be possible to send this out to the Sketchy’s list, so we could, at minimum, let our art community know what has happened.
Thanks,
Katie”
As event coordinator for Dr. Sketchy’s Tokyo I strongly urge all members to help in anyway you can. Dr. Sketchy’s is about art, love and self-expression. It’s time to stop the violence and increase the peace! Dr. Sketchy’s Tokyo is completely with you Portland.
