Dr Sketchy’s Birthday Boudoir

This article is from 2009.

The Dr Sketchy’s organisers have informed us, with perfectly straight faces, that this is their first birthday party. Now, we hate to quibble when a lady tells us her age, but we’re pretty sure we’ve been covering Dr Sketchy in this here publication since at least early 2007 … oh, what the hey. Any excuse for a party, and the Sketchettes have certainly pulled out all the stops this time. As well as the usual decadent burlescapades, this time round with added comedy from Madame Myfanwy, music from Freemoore, cocktails, cupcakes and the Lush staff on hand to dispense skincare goodies and massages. Oh yeah, and a drawing class.
