Montreal`s Burlesque Queen
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!
Here’s a little glimpse for all you Art Monkeys who missed the show.

Change o plans Art Monkeys! We’ve got a special surprise guest model this month. This promises to be a show you won’t soon forget!
Hint: She’s a veteran of the Sketchy Art Scene!
We are also VERY jealous, it’s 40 degrees with clear blue skies, stunning waves and exhibits the tropical serenity of a Gauguin in her picturesque new neighborhood.
BUT we wish her well and thank her from the very bottom for all her outstanding work. We truly hope to work with her again. The door is always open.
Immortal Electrica: The Sparkle Drag Diva!
Mako is one of the most famous drag queens in all of Tokyo!
She has performed in numerous stage and dance hall productions the most recent being the ‘Resine’ Party in Amaranth Lounge and ‘EYE LUSH Party of Shu Uemura.
Mako began her career as an actor and moved to New York City to live the dream. While there she studied dance.
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.
