FaceBook Prudery + An Upcoming 3rd Anniversary Party

Yesterday morning, when I went to view the current goings-on at FaceBook via our Mildred Mahler profile there, I was greeted with this bit of unpleasantness:



I see... Well... Candy-Box Rosie is actually wearing pasties and panties in this pin-up (yes, they are in pink, I know - but still), so I don't think it strictly literally violates any FaceBook prudery policies.

But I'm not the rebellious sort who enjoys going out of my way to prove a point. And I have neither the stomach nor the time for further aggravations or any ridiculous battles at the moment. So I have simply removed this image from my "Pin-Ups and Other Goodies" album at Face Book and locked that album down so that it is no longer completely publicly viewable.

Fine for me, really. It means that there will be a surprise or two for anyone who actually takes the extra effort to look at these pin-ups at our website rather than at Mildred's FaceBook profile. ...And - by the way - who out there was enough of an uptight busy-body to complain in the first place?!?...

While we're on the subject of Social Network Prudery, I might as well mention that a couple of years ago, when I was in the process of uploading our pin-ups to Mildred's now woefully neglected MySpace page, the police-bots there refused the above pin-up, and this one:



The other pin-ups were accepted without a fuss. I guess Candy-Box Rosie and Coco Delish are just too openly voluptuous in these two pin-ups. ;)

And now on to more pleasant news...

Our apparently shocking MildredLovesYou.com website will be celebrating its 3-Year Anniversary on June 16th. To kick this event off in style, we will be throwing a wild bash in conjunction with Pinky's Peepshow here in Berlin on June 15th (which is a Wednesday). Here are the flyers for said event:





I will be posting about this again soon, with links to the various artists' pages and such. And I hope I will be forgiven for adding a little reminder about this as a p.s. at the end of every single other blog-entry I post between now and then too. :P ;)

A Video Snippet of Lorelei Vanora

Our DR SKETCHY'S ANTI ART SCHOOL BERLIN MEETS PINKY'S PEEPSHOW extra-session on Wednesday evening was great fun! Our models, Miss Mama Ulita & Rummelsnuff, were fabulous to behold, DJ UFO Hawaii played a myriad of wonderful South Sea and Exotica tunes for us, Christopher Rose with Trixie Trainwreck (aka Trinity Sarratt) and Luscious Lloyd were gracious hosts, the decore - provided by Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin organizer and co-host Johnny "Mulholland" Fitz (aka Matthias Pflügner) and Moritz R. - was delightful, and our audience of sketch-happy artists was lovely and talented, as always! Also - as usual - I can't wait to see the gobs of photos taken by our sneaky and wonderful photo-ninja, Nina Zimmermann!

In the meantime, here's a snippet of Lorelei Vanora's performance during the evening, which was kindly sent to me by Katja and Moritz R.. Off-camera you can hear DJ UFO Hawaii playing ukulele for us from behind the turn tables...

Thank you so much for the video, Katja, and thanks again to everyone else for making it into such a fab evening!!!

And since Lorelei Vanora will be making a small appearance during the course of the evening, I'd like to take this opportunity to talk mermaids for a moment or two...

...The sparkling and ever-delightful Carolyn Turgeon has written a book
called MERMAID which will be hitting the market in March of next year. And to celebrate this publication she's set up an I Am A Mermaid blog where she plans to begin posting mermaid interviews and info on a regular basis starting January 1st, 2011. I love the blurb she's written over in the ABOUT section. Swim over and give it a read.



She's already interviewed Ms. Vanora (after seeing her October 20th appearance at Pinky's Peepshow; this interview will be aired on her blog sometime in January or February) and has a long list of other professional mermaids and mermaid experts who've agreed to interviews to add to the mix. It will be full of information and fun for mermaid lovers everywhere!

Vintage Mildred Halloween Greetings (Extra Goody #5) + Dr. Sketchy's Berlin News

Extra Goody #5 - "Vintage Mildred Halloween Greetings!"


I have been neglecting Mildred mercilessly for months on end once again - for lack of time! The other elements of my day to day life just keep getting in the way, and this Halloween is no exception. But I thought it might at least be kinda fun to see some early Mildred art. Better than nothing, right? So here's one of her Halloween cards from early on. The original line art is from 2006, and the color is a slight 2008-revamping of the original 2006 color.

Happy Halloween folks!

p.s. I'll say a word or two about how insane my October 2010 has been after I return to Berlin on the November 8th. In the meantime here's a little Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin heads-up: We've got another special extra-session coming up:

My Kingdom for a Grand...

...And by that I mean a grand piano! There will be no grand piano, nor even any piano at all, but rather a mere keyboard, provided by Asphalt for the Let's Misbehave party on the 22nd after all, and Miss Erna Aloisia Pachulke has decided that under these conditions it would be better to stick strictly to her bilingual split-personality MC-ing and save the songs that she and Lola la Voix have been working on together for performance at some later date.

Lola la Voix will be at the party anyway of course, in the audience, enjoying performances by Mama Ulita and The Queensgang Orchestra ect, and looking forward to future appearances with Miss Erna Aloisia Pachulke (and assorted other planned stuff). We hope to see you there!

And here's a quick overview-reminder of October's Event Cornucopia!

October's Party Cornucopia!

(Dr. Sketchy's Berlin / La Fête Fatale / Pinky's Peepshow /
Let's Misbehave / Salon Kokett / Bohème Sauvage)

Well, now! Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin really had a fabulous time as the closing event for The Big Draw Berlin festival last night. The Grüner Salon was an elegant and very comfy venue, Marlene von Steenvag was dazzling and lovely - as a model and as a performer, the organizers and staff were friendly and enthusiastic, our DJ, Dr. Hirschfeld, was as fabulous as always, Anne Smith was, as ever, a sweet and delightful burlesque roadie/clean-up girl, and our audience was great! We went away smiling once again! =)

And now for those additional October event dates I promised. My alter egos and I are busy girls this month... ;)

Event no.1: First off, a reminder that it's La Fête Fatale time again. They already spread their mad decadence in Hamburg for the first time on the 8th, and now it's home to Berlin again on Friday the 15th - at Goya this time around!



Event no.2: Lorelei Vanora will be making another Pinky's Peepshow appearance at the Bassy Club on October 20th (a Wednesday, as always); this time around as a special guest of the Schönheitstanz studio here in Berlin. Lady Lou will be presenting another one of her Burlesque School Graduation events (Schönheitstanz Berlin Burlesque Night); with Betty Redcherry (newcomer), Lilly Tiger (performer), and Amber Vanilla (newcomer).



Here's the Pinky's Peepshow flyer itself. Unfortunately, due to a little info-sanfu, my name (LaLaVox) ended up making it onto the flyer...


...But of course it's actually my alter-ego, Lorelei Vanora who will be performing. ;)


Events no.3 + 4: Two days later, on Friday, October 22nd, you will have to choose between The Roaring Twenties and more burlesque. In the Roaring Twenties corner will be the premiere of the Let's Misbehave party (a Josephine Baker Tribute) at Asphalt. In the Burlesque corner will be another lovely Salon Kokett evening at CCCP.

My personal choice for the evening will be The Roaring Twenties, since my alter ego, Lola la Voix will be making an appearance at Let's Misbehave. The fabulous and delightful Miss Erna Aloisia Pachulke will be the conférencière for the evening, and she's invited Lola la Voix to sing a couple of numbers with her!





Event no. 5: A reminder not to forget that we'll be back at White Trash Fast Food again for a regular Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin session on the afternoon of Saturday, October 23rd! Dr. Sketchy's #10 - our Halloween Special - starring Lady Lou (La Fête Fatale and Schönheitstanz) and Mitzi Metzger (La Fête Fatale)! Meet us there for lots of gruesome Halloween drawing fun!!!



When?
October 23th 2010 2:30-5:30pm (doors open 2:00pm)
Where?
At the WHITE TRASH FAST FOOD RESTAURANT Schönhauser Allee 6-7
How much?
Just measly 10 Euros! (Tickets at the door)

Event no. 6: And last but not least, Bohème Sauvage No.45, on October 30th, to finish up a fabulous month of glamorous Fall events!



We hope to see you there!

Hugs + kisses,

Pinky's Peepshow and Dr. Sketchy Berlin No.8

Every Wednesday night here in Berlin, Trixie Trainwreck and Christopher Rose present Pinky's Peepshow at the Bassy Bar - Berlin's Best Boudoir & Kool Kat Hideout. And tonight Lorelei Vanora (The Singing Mermaid) will be making her 2nd appearance at one of these tasty events. Spanish burlesque dancer and shock queen Lola von Dage (who was one of our models for Dr. Sketchy Berlin No.2) will also be performing. Much to our sorrow, this will be her Farewell Berlin performance, as she is planning to leave us for her home country quite soon.

...Here's July's Pinky's Peepshow Flyer...


And just for fun, here's shot of Lorelei Vanora's appearance with Fez Wrecker at Dr. Sketchy Berlin No.7 ("Dr Sketchy of the 7 Seas"), back in April...

Photo credits go to Dr. Sketchy Berlin's Foto-Ninja Nina Zimmermann.

Speaking of Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin - after having had to cancel our originally planned No.8 back in May, and having been absent during our Summer Break in June, we are back at last with July's new No.8 this coming Saturday afternoon. Our oh-so-lovely models this time around are Black Flamingo Burlesque Revue "sisters", Miss Honey Lulu and Trixee Sparkle.



When?
Saturday, July 24th, 2010 - 2:00-5:00pm
(doors open 1:30pm)
Where?
At the White Trash Fast Food Restaurant
Schönhauser Allee 6-7, Berlin, Germany
How much?
Just measly 10 Euros!
