Sketchtastic Week in Review

Hey Art Monkeys,

It's only been a week since the 1st Annual Dr. Sketchy's Exhibition Party and it feels like a lifetime ago.
The lights.
The glitz.
The glam.
It's a story told best with pictures.
Enjoy.

Party of my Life

This is it!
This is what all the hard work has lead to.
This day!
It's not Christmas or my birthday and I'm soo excited I can hardly sit still.

I haven't slept or eaten properly in days and yet I'm on a natural high. I have no idea how it's all going to turn out but I am filled with such joy and pride and lust for life even if it all falls on my head I have had such an amazing time on this journey. I have worked with my very best friends and made a few more. It has been a labor of pure love for sure and there are no words that can truly express the appreciation I feel for all those involved in making the Dr. Sketchy's Exhibition Party a reality. You've made all these tiny thoughts into jeweled realities and I am truly moved.

To all the artists, models, dancers, staff, volunteers and supporters of Dr. Sketchy's Tokyo THANK YOU!

Dr. Sketchy's, Tokyo Exhibition Party

Only 5 more sleeps until the big Dr. Sketchy's Exhibition Party and I can't hardly wait. Visions of dancing feathered ladies and Sketchtastic eye candy swim round my head and the excitement is best expressed through song! Check out this vid from the Dazzle Dancers that pretty much sums up the mood on Saturday night!

Hoop Video of the Day...AGAIN!

I was pleased as punch to learn that I was hoop video of the day again on hooping.org. Mostly because this time I wasn't trying so hard. Hooping at Glitterball this year was truly a dream come true. It was on my vision board and everything! There is something about this moment in history that makes me feel like anything and everything is possible.


It's ALL HAPPENING.

YES WE DID!

Re-inventing self

Move over Madonna.
Usually the meglomaniac in me only uses this site for my own self-indulgent admittedly mastabatory personal pursuits but I just HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO share these photos of one of my very dearest friends Deanne "SuperStar" Tonking of Hooplovers.com

Recently she modeled for a variety of fashion photographers in a shoot that is the equivalent of a photographic jam sessions and the end result is a hooping portfolio worthy of any album cover this side of the Tachikawa! Truly breathtaking, stunning and unequivocally GORGEOUS. Deanne, this past year I have watched you radiate energy like a phoenix and you haven't even hit your zenith yet! All I can say is that I love it and I want more of it!

Glitterball

Last week was one for the history books! Deanne Tonking of Hooplovers.com rallied her hooping minions together for a hooping light show that delighted thousands on all Hallow's Eve at Womb in Shibuya! Every year the good folks over at Metropolis Magazine host the now infamous Glitterball and the mischief and mayhem of the evening is legendary. Wish we were able to get better angels but as I was standing on podium (1x1 square meters) with over 2000 revelers we were lucky to capture the moment at all! Move over Mika this is a video for the girls!
