Love your devoted Headmistress,

Vivacious Miss Audacious

Recap + Photos!

September was the biggest Dr. Sketchy's GR yet!

We had the largest turn out, the most models at one time, and the antics level went through the non-roof of the Meanwhile Bar beer garden!...perhaps an intergalactic level of antics?

The roller girls were nutty, lewd, liquor guzzlin' and hilariously frisky as models.

Memorable moments include posed hair pulls, Quarter Boy brandishing a giant, golden...er...member, while wearing a prom-brides-something dress and we cannot forget King Aiko's impromptu Buddha striptease cum instant modeling sesh!

Those wild women managed to rock their poses atop a picnic table while wearing skates! Proving that Derby Girls kick serious ass and have balance to make make monkeys jealous.

Additionally, the Gals brought such an overflow of Derby merch for prizes that we added a 2nd and 3rd place to each contest to spread the logo love!

Terry Johnston, photographer extraordinaire, was September's celebrity judge and rocked the role in style, clad in a super-fab roller girl outfit complete with toe-pinching, ultra-retro hot skates!

He also managed to nab some wonderful shots, featured here in the very blog post!

Yehaw and Phew! Golden memories, indeed.

Love,

Audacious

August Hot Shots

Terry Johnston is everywhere.....he is found backstage, shooting burlesque babes and demented gorilla clowns, hobnobbing with some big-wig, important type or leading herds of effusive photogs throughout our fair city. He is my main go-to for all my photo shoot needs and has varieties of sneakers to match ANY outfit combo!

I was excited to finally have him grace Dr. Sketchy's GR with his snazzy self. Next month he will be the featured, celebrity judge!

I have had to cut off my clickin' hand to restrain myself from posting all of the striking images he created from the evening.

To get your hands on Terry, or at least drool over his work, see:

PS

he totally shot the title image for this blog - the caged-unicorn-thought-bubble is a small section of the mural painted by Jeff Vandenburg, located in the beer garden of the Meanwhile Bar.

Queen-a-rama

Jasinya Sanchez, drag queen/comedienne/character actor/songstress, provided a stunning bodyscape for the Art Monkeys on August 15th.

As Joan Crawford, a harem girl and a retro, beach babe pin-up, Jasinya held her art-making audience captive, while being captured herself through various mediums.

Several pencil wielding sketchers reverted to their photographic roots, creating quite the shoot out between themselves and professional photogs, Terry Johnston and Jonathan Clay, whose images will grace this blog often.

Prizes like two tickets to Jasinya's comedy show, Old Lady Monday, were given away. A custom Audacious Hoop was nabbed. A Meanwhile tee shirt was won, not to mention tons of free shots - all during contests like "draw the model as your zodiac sign" and "draw the model armless because her limbs were eaten by zombies."

The contests were lorded over by celebrity judge and artist himself, Corey Ruffin aka Mr. Happypants, who insisted far too often, that there were "too many" great images, and "can we do a tie?" And I thought he would be a hardass!
