Burlesque dance star Cherry Typhoon plays up for the audience at the July Dr Sketchy's Anti Art School life-drawing party.

Last night was an utterly fabulous evening. Seriously, if you like drawing, you should be coming down to the Pink Cow in Shibuya on the 4th Wednesday of every month to join in the fun. It's not a competition and the spirit is one of camaraderie and joie de vivre.

Cherry Typhoon is one of only 7 professional burlesque dancers in all of Tokyo. She performs regularly around town, do yourself a favour and check out one of her shows: she's a doll with a great sense of humour and a fabulous dance style - she shimmies like nobody's business! We can happily say that now that we've tapped into the burlesque scene here, that the Dr Sketchy's models each month will be real, bona fide burlesque dancers - as is meant to be. My portfolio is sooooo gonna rock.

You should check out the gorgeous blog from the original Dr Sketchy's Anti Art School in New York.
