Dr Sketchy’s Columbus
Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School Columbus is an artist event where hot models pose for your drawing, painting, or photographing pleasure. I was actually working the door for my beautiful BFF and client Viva Valezz! that night but I never leave home without my camera! Here are a few shots of the posing, drawing, and burlesque show afterward! This event was at East Village, which is no longer.
The lovely ladies of The Ooh La La’s are the models.
Look like fun? Check out Dr Sketchy’s Columbus for upcoming events!
OK this is some random guy from the crowd, how awesome is that? Brave soul. There’s nothing like a little crowd interaction!
Dead Divas
This show was thrown by Viva Valezz! at what used to be Liquid but is no longer. I miss that glittery curtain it was such a great backdrop to event photos!
Look at the legs on Pandora Foxx! WORK!
Never a dull moment with Noka in the house! She was Bette Davis I believe poor Surly Manson got rolled off the stage… but she survived!
This is one of my favorite burlesque photos of all time! I was so happy how it turned out! Bossy Grrl!
I have no idea why there is only one photo of this number, but it’s a great one of Brett Morehead getting…well…head!
OK pardon my posting so many of this number, but Lustre was channeling Sammy so well I LOVE the photos!
Now a break for “How Many Places Can Noka Smooch”

Viva! and The Velvet Hearts
If you know anything about the Columbus Ohio burlesque scene you have heard of Viva! and The Velvet Hearts. They are a troupe of performers who always put on a fantastic show. I am lucky to call them clients and friends.
I have done lots of promotional photography work for this troupe, and you will see them in lots of my provocative event photography!
Viva Valezz!
Viva Valezz! was my very first pin up photography girl. The first time we met in person we shot for a few hours and had a great time. Had that first shoot been with someone less personable who knows where I would be?
Viva! is a beautiful woman, and amazing burlesque artist. In fact she has a whole burlesque troupe Viva! and The Velvet Hearts! I have photographed Viva! A LOT – many of my favorite images feature her, you will find her all over the site particularly in many of the provocative events I shoot. I have done a lot of work for her promotional materials as well, it is quite possible if you have looked at one of her posters and thought “I wonder who took that picture” it was me!
Be sure to go check Viva! and The Velvet Hearts out on their website!
