					Do you like to draw? Do you like burlesque? Then come on out for Dr.
Sketchy's SF! Bombshell Betty's is now the officially sponsored host
for Dr. Sketchy's anti-art school in the SF Bay Area. We will be
showcasing burlesque performers, fetish models, belly dancers, drag
queens, goths, punks, and anyone else too interesting to be called
"normal".  If you want to get the chance to draw uniquely beautiful
people that took the mold and broke it, then this is the place for you
to come.  People of all skill levels are welcome to come enjoy and
benefit from drawing these fabulous people.

We would like to invite you to come enjoy our life drawing event and
party on Thursday, August 23. In addition to burlesque-style modeling
by Bombshell Betty, the event will include music, poetry and other
readings, performances by local burlesque dancers in the breaks,
beverages, contests, and much more.  Everyone involved will be invited
to stay after for networking and socializing.

ATTENTION ASPIRING MODELS: 

Before the Dr. Sketchy's SF life drawing party starts, Bombshell Betty
will be offering a one-hour introduction to life modeling. You will
learn: 

* Basic etiquette of modeling and what to expect at a life drawing gig.
Know what to bring, what's expected of you, etc. 

* How to choose poses that are interesting for the artists but won't
hurt you! No numb feet or stiff necks!

* How to choose poses for short (gesture) poses and for longer poses.
Believe me, these require different kinds of poses. 

* Making sure your pose looks good for everyone in the room, not just
one angle. 

* Why artists prefer to draw dancers, gymnasts and athletes and how to
model like one. 

* Tricks for maintaining a pose consistently. No twisting or shifting!

* How to use props in your poses. 

* How to get modeling gigs!

Participants are welcome to stick around for the Dr. Sketchy's event
after the workshop for no extra charge! Draw, mingle, and even try out
modeling for a set if you want to.
