Drawings! Photos! Joy!

How can we express the delightfulness of October's session? Mere words are not enough! Thank goodness we're a bunch of artists (although sadly, not photographers ::sigh::).

Paris Green treated us to a variety of gorgeous poses and outfits, from vintage naughty nurse to her own sexy skin!

Then Miss Maya Sinstress enacted the role of a bad kitty!


Aren't you sad we don't have a photo of Paris as a space siren? Thank goodness Kyle Bice captured the pose!

Below, two drawings of the girls by Mari R. Thanks, Mari!

Behold the Hotness of our October Models!

Our pin-up model for this month is Paris Green, the Pleasure Chest of the Midwest. Paris is the director and producer of the critically acclaimed burlesque troupe, The Belmont Burlesque Revue. In addition to her tantalizing teasing with the BBR, Ms. Green also hosts and produces The Forbidden Planet Cosmic Cabaret. In honor of Halloween, she joins us this month as a vintage naughty nurse. We can hardly wait!

We're also fortunate to have Miss Maya Sinstress joining us this month as our alt model. Miss Sinstress is an artist, fetish model, burlesque star and sideshow performer extraordinaire. On the 20th, she'll be bringing her fabulous physique and astonishing wardrobe to our stage. You won't want to miss this!

Drawings from the September session

Sadly, our camera died right at the beginning of this month's drawing session (perhaps the scorching hotness of our models was too much for it). But even though we didn't get any pictures, fortunately, we've got plenty of great drawings to share!

September's Amazing Alt Model Announced!

The Brimstone Drawing Club is a sketch workshop held monthly in Chicago, where pin-up babes and stunning alt models pose for your drawing pleasure. More leather, feathers and glitter than you can shake a stick (of charcoal) at! We promise to bring a little spunk and sparkle into your sketchbook!

At every session, The Brimstone Drawing Club provides TWO fabulous models for your drawing pleasure--one pin-up model and one alt model. During the first hour and a half, one model will take the stage, then, after the ten minute break, the other model will pose for the remaining hour and a half.

This month, the BDC is raising the bar for alt model fabulousness with one of Chicago's premier goth/fetish models, Chrystyne! Her modeling work has been featured in magazines like Bizarre (UK), Gothic Beauty, Marquis (FMD) and Skin Two and she's also a talented artist in her own right. We're so excited that she's agreed to grace our stage at September's session!
