Biker Babes on the Bus

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines… and join us for a very special Dr. Sketchy's session. It's a night of drinking and drawing, onboard the bus at Smash Palace.

Tawdry and Juju will be our models, muses and bad influences. It's 'Bike Night' at Smash Palace but these rebels are taking their tassels aboard the bus. Toot toot! There'll be plenty of cheek with these foxy floozies about!

They'll strut their stuff down the aisle of the bus, on top of the tables and in your face. Be prepared for a very different sketchy experience. You'll get to draw from many different angles but you may need to move around, perhaps to give up your seat for our biker babes.

For this Sketchy's, no pre-sale tickets are required, but please bring a suggested donation of $5 to fuel your local sketchy girls.

Sketching begins at 7pm. Bring your own art supplies, but this time keep them simple as we may move about. Inks and paints may be prone to spilling once we get rolling.

Our sponsors spin our wheels: Absolution Pierce and Tattoo, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art & Graphic Store, and international sketchy sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

Macho Madames and Femme Fellas

Our much anticipated Gender Blender theme was just the right mix of sugar and spice. Gender constructs were flouted and transgression was the order of the day! Art monkeys happily took a walk on the wild side - our audience was awash with fabulous facial hair, frocks and socks in all sorts of places. Miss Candy AppleBottom and the dashing Julio Juju made their joined debut on the sketchy stage, to the delight of us all.

What a pair! Our stars for the evening, Miss Candy AppleBottom and Mister Julio Juju.

Miss Candy AppleBottom was in her element! Already somewhat of a local legend, Candy runs a regular Cross Dressing Sunday event at our favourite portside watering hole The Wunderbar. If you're in Christchurch, head on down in your finest and join in the fun and fabulousness.

Miss AppleBottom ensnared us all with her her endless legs and magical loop pedal; even adding witty banter and flirtatious de-frocking to the mix.

Roguish yet refined; Julio Juju had us all a bit hot under the collar.

Dream date! The chemistry! The camaraderie! The combined hotness!

Rockin' the mo, like a pro! Julio set hearts a-fluttering with his macho mien.

 

Tawdry and Pimp Master of Ceremonies, Rosie Reckless admiring all the awesome.

Julio brought all the girls to the yard! The night was characterised by boogying, beer consumption and Village People songs.

Julio's ruse unravelled in the most delightful way!

The night was full of surprises!

There were bountiful beards and bodacious bottoms galore!

For one of our famous embellishment challenges, we encouraged our art monkeys to take
our stars facial hair to the next level!

 A classic pose to end the night....

And what a peen-tastic night it was! There may even have been some serendipitious product placement by Absolution in the last pose..

A modelling match made in sketchy paradise; Julio and Candy's androgynous antics and perfect posing had us all enamoured. It was all captured by our keen eyed paparazzi - many thanks to Amy Lilley and Natasha Halliday!

Our prizes, as ever, hit the spot - many thanks to Absolution Tattoo and Pierce, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art Supplies and our international sponsor, Baby Tattoo Books.
