Sketchy Office Party Memo

For this month's Dr. Sketchy's Burlesque Anti-Art School Sketch Drawing Event we contemplated a Sketchy interpretation of the classic June wedding but decided that in honor of the stench of the subway bound salary man we would throw a Sketchy Office Party in keeping with Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's tradition of cool biz!

Wednesday June 25 @ 7p
Office Party in the basement of The Pink Cow LTD.
TPS Reports required.
The punch WILL be spiked!

Tokyo Freeze 2008

While cruising the streets of Harajuku Sunday afternoon, hoops in tow, looking for a nice veggie meal to sate our bottomless appetites, Superhooper Deanne and I serendipitously caught up with the organizers of Tokyo Freeze 2008. This event is one part street art, one part improv and one part theater inspired by this

The Grand Central Freeze in New York.


This is the Tokyo version.

Living the Dream

If you build it...

...they will come.

Hooplovers hoop classes are now a dazzlingly reality at Claska in Meguro.
Sign up TODAY!

Dreams are truly just unborn realities I've come to realize. My day usually begins somewhere in the 7:00am hour and ends somewhere in the 1:00am hour and on any given day between those hours I can be found dancing with my sparkly hula hoops, memorizing scripts, rehearsing for the Tokyo Comedy Store, entertaining small children, traveling all over this great nation, returning scores of emails, brainstorming Dr. Sketchy ideas, recruiting Dr. Sketchy's staff and volunteers and generally having the time of my life pursuing EVERY single dream that captures my heart at any given moment.
This high octane, concentrated focus is inspired by a determination to live a life of true Kerouacian proportions. But I've come to understand that living the dream doesn't always promise a life filled with smooth hoopnotic rhythms and wicked costume changes, there have been times along this bumpy ride when the beat has been severely syncopated where nights crash haltingly into the dawn. Days when love feels elusive and the line between personal and professional life have been blurred to the point of being unrecognizable. Even now as I look at my daily planner I see that my last true day off was May 2. And I wouldn't trade one of those red eyed, genki drink fueled, stamina tested nights for all the colored wigs at Tokyu Hands
because this is what it means to follow your aspirations down the rabbit hole.

This is what it means to dance like no one is watching.

This is what it means to sing like no one is listening.

This is what it means to simply BE who you were meant to BE.

Fifteen minutes from this moment the sun will rise again to signal a new day's adventure.
I can't wait!

Birthday High

My birthday was just yesterday and I'm still riding the wave of euphoria! There's nothing like celebrating the day you were born to give you a renewed and refreshed outlook on life. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Akiko for organizing the perfect intimate night out of debauchery and bliss. I truly loved the Drag show honey, you know me soooo well! Deanne, Tomomi and Sam your loyalty knows no bounds even when I am at the height of crazy you're always there to keep me grounded and show me love. Thanks for celebrating with me yesterday. My blessings are ever abundant and I think I'm proof positive that when you change your mental frequency the world really does yield to your every whim.

May was a grinding month of rehearsals and personal instability so apologies to all the fans of this blog for neglecting you so. You have shown me nothing but love and believe me I've felt it through the hard times. Why just today I had the most enchanting, spirited conversation with a lovely Frenchman based in Singapore who stopped by this corner of cyberspace and shared a truly cosmic French Connection! So thanks to all those anonymous superhighway adventurers who take an interest in this little cyber nook. Your presence is felt and appreciated!
