Only a few days to go now...

Drawing Of The Week

Not sure who this one is by to be honest, but it is pretty impressive.

Life Drawing With Added Frills

Here's the new poster for the new Added Frills night on 21 June 2012 featuring those ever so lovely Salacious Sirens. It's a burlesque meets life drawing bonanza! See you there x

Ps. The venue is small so wear your best perfume and be prepared to squash up.

Tell Everyone You Know

Every Thursday at The Cambria in Camberwell, I, Betty, host the most delightful life drawing night. Set to beautiful music, in ever such extravagant surroundings, it really is a treat if I do say so myself. The regulars have turned into friends and the drawing often turns to drinking; perhaps the two are related.

All are welcome so spread the word and tell everyone you know...your presence is duly requested at The Drawing Room.

Everybody Loves A Picnic

It's hard to believe that summer is on its way with all this chilly weather, but it is! And along with summer comes many delights including picnics. Everybody loves a picnic and I am no exception. This summer I will be shaking off my blankets and dusting off my hampers in preparation for a little al-fresco life drawing, picnic style.

On Saturday 16th June The Drawing Room will bring you 'Posing In The Park',  in Westow Park as part of The Crystal Palace Overground Festival. There will be music, models, pencils, and posing. We might even crack open the Pimms and cucumber sandwiches. All you have to bring is your lovely selves.
 

(The picnic can, however, only go ahead if the weather is good, so cross your trotters and pray for sunshine.)

Thank You Tim Draper

Just one more thank you to the very talented Tim Draper who tip toed around in his socks so elegantly at the Added Frills show and photographed the whole thing.

A Feast For The Eyes

The dramatic moment when Violet Empire poises herself ready to plunge a kitchen knife into the succulent body of Ottolie Divine, in the chilling and hilarious, Cannibal Cafe.

Well And Truely Frilled...

What an amazing night Added Frills turned out to be. The Salacious Sirens had us laughing, whooping, perspiring and squirming in our seats, and what a delight those ladies are to draw! Beautifully put together music, poses and performances running seamlessly into each other, a fantastic turnout, this really was the best Life Drawing With Added Frills yet, thanks to those ever so talented sirens.

For those of you who missed out, and those of you who just cannot wait to do it all over again, the ladies will be back with us again in the summer and you can find out more about their other up and coming gigs here: salacioussirens.blogspot.co.uk

If you managed to make it down to the show thoroughly enjoyed yourself, why not take a moment to jot down your thoughts in my guest book

Thank you to everyone who made the night so special,
