Steampunk princess in slumber- Priceless!

Better lighting and better seating this time! Yay. I'm working on it folks! xo

DeLacey was a stunning muse for us art monkeys! Her stylish pasties were made of copper!

And now, for the Debaucherous Backstage Pass. What exactly goes on when Corky and all the hottie models go backstage? Why, scandal and mayhem of course!

Dr. Sketchy’s: Steampunk Romantique

Dr. Sketchy’s- Asheville pays a tribute Steampunk on March 26th from 7:30-10:30 @ Hookah Joes:

Imagine a romantic collision of the steam driven Victorian era and modern day technology. A subtle embrace between the two would have propelled the course of history, and there is no end to what we could have accomplished.

Step inside the dimly lit hookah lounge with your art supplies, and imagine yourself living in a time of gas lamps, Victorian corsets tightly cinched over flowing petticoats, and artists just discovering photography. Imagine not only steam engines but steam driven clocks, computers, vehicles, and gadgets. Take inspiration from an alternate historical path as you sketch the saucy hips of our model DeLacey “heartbreaker” Santini. The half-time show is a romantic Steampunk accordion solo by Valerie of Hellblinki sextet.

“The Pleasure Saucer brings the truth of the Reverend Johnny Lemuria to the benighted wilderness of Western North Carolina. News and interviews on underground art, sex, radical politics, erotica, anarchism, fetishes, the Church of the Subgenius, tantric ecstasy, the Cult of Discordia, sensual explorations, and Moorish Orthodoxy.” The Reverand is also working on a delightful show reel for Dr. Sketchy, stay tuned to get a glimpse of the genius at work!

Drinking, Drawing, Dames, and Debauchery? What is this Dr. Sketchy’s?

Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is a monthly mix of art class and cabaret, with scantily clad burlesque, side show, and vaudeville dames posing for feverishly sketching artists. Local small businesses sponsor prizes for drawing contests such as “draw the model with your favorite vice!”
At Dr. Sketchy’s, we don’t care if you picked up a pad yesterday or 50 years ago. Come to drink or to draw. We’re happy to have you.

I’m Corky Bordeaux, the saucy Muse of Bacchus, Asheville’s own burlesque vixen, and a die hard promoter of our arts community. I am very excited to be bringing Dr. Sketchy’s to Asheville!
