Chinashop Post

Site visitor Annemarie was kind enough to post a comment about Chinashop’s coverage of the Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles relaunch. The words and images by Zoetica Ebb are top notch (and not-safe-for–work). Check out the full post here.

We’re Official!

Daily du Jour Photo of Dr. Sketchy's Los Angeles

In the world of public relations, you do not exist until the media notices you. Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles is very pleased that the art and culture blog Daily du Jour not only noticed our relaunch, but took lots of fab photos and posted them for the world to see.

The link above is to the Daily du Jour main page. The link to the full Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles coverage (including not-safe-for-work photos) is here.

Rear VIew of Booty Babe

Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles is thrilled to announce a new (and oh so fitting) sponsor for Session #000. Booty Babe Art is generously providing an exquisitely packaged figure from Spencer Davis’ vinyl line to be given away as the event’s grand prize. Someone is getting lucky Sunday night; someone is going to take this “Free Spirit” home for their personal enjoyment.

Woo!

Thanks Boing Boing

Image Snippet From Boing Boing

Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles would like to extend sincerest thanks to Mark Frauenfelder of BoingBoing.net for posting about our May 10 relaunch. Obviously, Boing Boing isn’t hurting for traffic, so it is without hype (yet with complete confidence in the wonderfulness of Boing Boing’s content) that we offer the following advice…

If you haven’t visited Boing Boing recently, you owe it to yourself to do so now.

Scar Modeling Fierce Couture

Those who dare to attend Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles Session #000 will be confronted by Scar, an adventurous (and beautiful and uninhibited) gal who is featured in the May 2009 issue of Bizarre magazine as part of a cover story on alternative models.

In her own words: “I love to play dress-up and be made up. I like to feel glamorous and seductive, and want to meet amazing people whose work I admire and who I might not otherwise get to spend time with.”

Perhaps she’s talking about some of the big shot artists who are going to be in attendance (more on that tomorrow), but perhaps she’s talking about you.

Join Scar this Sunday evening, and you too can meet amazing people whose work you admire and who you might not otherwise get to spend time with.

Hint Mint

Relaunch week is upon us! Sunday will be here before you know it. New posts will be added daily beginning right now…

Hint Mint isn’t just a sweet tooth/sweet breath fix… it’s a sweet statement about personal expression.

Baby Tattoo and Hint Mint have enjoyed a friendly and fulfilling relationship since 2007, and it is with great pleasure that Baby Tattoo announces Hint Mint as the first official sponsor of Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles.

As hinted at previously, those who RSVP and donate in advance to attend Dr. Sketchy’s Los Angeles Session #000 will be rewarded for their enthusiasm and generosity. How sweet is that?

Suggested Advance Donation: $10.00

Suggested Donation at the Door: $12.00
