No, I'm not just putting that in to get your attention! On Sunday afternoon, October 14, I and two other Big Moves burlesque dancers are appearing at a local cabaret/life-drawing class (see the details below).
Now, the producer (truthserum.org) loves Big Moves, and she says that they've had curvy girls on there, but curvy isn't the same thing as FAT, and I confess to being a little nervous about our reception there. The answer? Stack the deck and fill the house with "plants", that is, YOU. Don't know how to draw? This is a great place to start, because lots of people will be drinking. Like to draw fatties? Come here and get three for the price of one.
Put it on your calendar, and come on out!

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Cabaret Life Drawing Class
Sunday October 14, 2007 2:30pm
Great Scott, 1222 Commonwealth Ave (corner of Harvard/Commonwealth) in Allston
$7, 18+ (bring your ID, this is a bar)
Dr. Sketchy's is what happens when cabaret meets art school.
Starting in Brooklyn, in 2005, artists Molly Crabapple and A.V. Phibes combed New York to find the most beautiful burlesque dancers, the most bizarre circus freaks, and the most rippling hunks of man. Then, they let people draw them for three hours, interspersed with posing are ridiculous drawing contests (best left handed drawing? Best incorporation of a woodland animal?) where you can win booze or prizes.
Aside from the standard structure of short poses to warm you up and then longer ones to give you more time to concentrate, this is definitely not your typical life drawing class. The model wears gorgeous burlesque outfits and slowly strips out of them! The models talk! You'll clap for them and hoot and holler! You'll tip them! You'll chat with your neighbor! There is no teacher to embarrass you when you don't produce enough! You get to drink and draw without getting in trouble! Now is the time to heal those art school wounds. Dr. Sketchy's will guide you.
Boston's a huge art school town but it's hard to find life drawing sessions, plus it has a huge burlesque, drag and performance art scene. So we'll have lots of great models to work with. You don't have to have any experience, or you could be the guy who does the pointalist portraits for The Globe. Dig out your dusty sketchbooks or hit the store and get a pad, and come join us for a little late afternoon nudie drawing date.
