Sweet Neglect

My poor neglected blog, how I hate to torture thee. Take a peak dear fans at some of the other things that have split my attention as of late. It all started with a commercial shoot for #1 Travel (viewable on CNN on Skyperfect TV only) that took place at an izakaya (a Japanese tapas bar for all intents and purposes) where all the props were real, including the BEER! 27 takes later,

I feigned sobriety as I went home to pack and move into my new place! And every good pack out needs some good grooves to keep the movers moving especially in 28 degree heat! Enter this Fatboy Slim gem which has served as my naked soundtrack all summer long (warning: may not be suitable for viewing in the work place).

Then the big Typhoon hit...

CHERRY TYPHOON that is!
CT made her Dr. Sketchy's debut at ultra decadent Tableaux for Biz Nites and they are still mopping the drool off the dance floor after her sultry performance.
Then it was off to the Opera to watch Akiko Otao bring the house down in The Marriage of Figaro where her Cherebino knocked the socks off of a packed standing room only house!

The fat lady needs to move over cause there is a new diva in town. After 5 encores we celebrated on the 15th floor of Shibuya's luxurious Legato Restaurant where a breathtaking view of the Tokyo skyline served as the perfect backdrop to celebrate Ms. Otao's 25th Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BFF!

Phew! What a month!

Pussy Party

If you've never been to a Pussy Party here is what you missed. DJ Cat sauntered into town from NYC and Hooplovers had the honor of being her Pussy Parade at Club Warhouse702. As you know Super Hooper Deanne Tonking turned pro earlier this year and has been performing her solo act non-stop around Tokyo's hottest clubs and bars but yesterday marked the debut of her new Hoop Troupe sponsored by Hooplovers.com and I'm happy to say that I'm a proud card carrying member!



PS. I am the one with the white furry leg warmers!

Sizzling Hot Summer Job

This summer I've decided to stay in Tokyo and slave away building the Dr. Sketchy's Tokyo Empire and becoming a world class Super Hooper. It's been such hard, strenuous, stressful, tedious work and scheduling meetings, printing promotional materials and talking to the press can really take it's toll on a person. Why just yesterday I had to drag myself to Beautified Taboo, an art exhibition which featured former Dr. Sketchy's Tokyo Model,Justin Berti and other modern and performance artists dedicated to challenging today's cultural taboos. Forcing myself to schmooze with potential clients and models sometimes feels like I'm stepping so far out of my comfort zone, really I don't know how much longer I can dedicate myself to the pursuit of spreading art to the masses.

This model in particular was so persistent about being the next Dr. Sketchy's Model that he insisted I give him my card even though he had no where to put it!

Talking to models can be soo tedious sometimes but it's part of the job you know, so I just deal with it as best I can.

In other news Tokyo's Hooping sensation Deanne Tonking and I will be hooping with Poi Ball enthusiast Lindsey Scott at Warehouse702 in Azabu Juban Tonight at DJ Cat's Pussy Party for more information go here or here.


Really it's a tough life but somehow I'll get through the summer!
