And here is Crimson Skye, who has previously appeared on here being Fanny Malone. She has wonderful red hair, so red that it actually makes mine look quite drab and subdued in comparison.
And here is the drawing from the final act of the evening - Mr Mistress, who really went down a storm!
No prizes this time, but I did get to share a sofa with Alex Hughes. We had to dismantle it a couple of times because of the amount of stuff that was getting lost down the back of it - all Alex's pens, my spectacle case, an umbrella and a small stuffed gorilla were all concealed within the depths of this insatiable item of furniture.
The slide show behind the burlesque performers featured bits by the likes of George Grosz, Max Beckmann & Co; some fantastic graphic design from the period and photos of Marlene Dietrich and contemporaries. It was absolutely superb, and must have been as much fun to make as it was to watch!
Next one is on Saturday May 15th - when the theme is 'Carnival of the Animals'

Fab, Cathy. I wish I'd been on that sofa sketching with you and Alex, though a sofa with a voracious appetite for pen consumables is best to be avoided. How many pens did you lose?
Last count - approx 128 - but we got them all back again, and my spectacles case, once we'd dismantled the sofa.
That is a lot of pens. i do hope you re-upholstered the sofa following on from your fumblings.
