Reminder that this is TOMORROW. This thing is going to be off the fucking hook. If the idea of gay WWI boylesque, sexy maids, Carson in his underpants, O’Brien doing unspeakable things to soap, and the Dowager Countess herself isn’t enough to draw you in, our raffle prizes include a restored antique umbrella, menswear from Fine & Dandy Shop, porn from me, sex toys and this amazing Thomas paper doll by RivkaZ. Basically, it’d be defeatist and so middle class not to come.

Have you ever wanted to see me clean up underwear as Carson? Yeah. Dreams do come true.
Cheeky Lane paper doll is done!
Still sick, still in bed - hence getting some work done. More progress details of Cheeky’s doll. Fun fact: Lawrence did the silhouettes on the bra and panties, just like on the real life costume.
Sick in bed, so I’m working on a new burlesque paper doll. Cheeky Lane is a genius and her costumes are insane.

Our new dandy greeting cards by artist Fyodor Pavlov. #menswear #fineanddandyshop @fox_trotsky (at Fine and Dandy)
My Sherlock Holmes cards have already sold out on Etsy, but you can pick some up, along with your necessary purchase of a beautiful new bowtie or pocket square, at the Fine & Dandy Shop! I hear a few folks who are in town for the Baker Street Irregulars weekend have already done so - which pleases me to no end.
Alternatively, you can come to Hotsy Totsy: A Study in Pink, a Sherlock Holmes burlesque show this Tuesday for a chance to win a pack of my Sherlock Holmes cards and a pin-up boy calendar. And you know. See some hot hot ACD-inspired ass.
Still sick as a dog, but the paper doll of Lewd Alfred Douglas is done! I’ll be printing these for sale soon.
Home sick in bed and working on Lewd Alfred Douglas’s paper doll.
Making a new prop for Lewd Alfred Douglas’s Automaton act. Getting high on fumes and coughing up glitter, woo!
Vicky Butterfly posted more photos of her in the incredible costume inspired by my illustration. I can’t get over these.

Vicky Butterfly finally posted the incredible photo of her in her new costume based on my illustration. I’m still so emotional over it. I daresay it’s an improvement on my original, too.

And speaking of burlesque and Zelda. I painted this illustration for the Ziegfeld Follies feature on Doris Eaton Travis for the second issue of the magazine, and today Vicky Butterfly absolutely made my day when she posted the above image of her costume (second row, left) and confirmed that it was inspired by the drawing. It is the second time this illustration has inspired one of my most beloved performers to create a costume, the first being Medianoche (second row, right).
It’s funny, I look at the drawing now and, like every artist looking at old work, see a collection of imperfections, things I would fix and do differently now. But it’s so wonderful and flattering to see artists whose work and image inspires me return the compliment in such a beautiful way.

Diane Naegel passed away from breast cancer before I became involved in the burlesque scene. When I was approached by Jo Weldon about writing this blog, I knew that I wanted to include Diane’s story, as she was one of the original participants in Pink Light Burlesque. I also knew I wanted to…
Di was one of my brightest guiding lights in the New York nightlife and burlesque scene, when I was just a youngster staring up at sparkling tap-dancing feet and trying to capture them in my sketchbooks. Through Zelda, she gave me the chance to pay tribute to the time and history I love and to show it to the larger audience of burlesque descendants that has flourished today, and it is in great part due to her that I am now surrounded by magical people who are more like family than friends. This article is wonderful tribute to this bright young thing who touched, inspired and facilitated the artistic flourishing of so many.

My Basmanov burlesque act at historic Stonewall Inn!
YEP YEP YEP. YEP.
Anyone want to guess what this is going to be? Hint: it has to do with husband’s Basmanov act.
