The evening after the night before: Bella Fox & Nathaniel 01|26|10

by The Madame

Yay for Bella Fox and Nathaniel for making TKS 33 a fabulous night of racy fun. Armed with a flute, trombone and leather restraints, last night’s Session was the way music lessons should be held. And who can go wrong when a man reveals what’s under his kilt? Sadly, my kilt-cam pic developed too blurry…

Massive thanks to all artists who came out and filled the room with a truly great vibe. Nothing beats seeing you all every week.

Photos, Playlist and Drawings {send them our way!} to follow in the posts below.

See you next Tuesday.

Big things brewing for 2010

by The Madame

from humble beginnings: Keyhole Session #1

TKS started the year with a bang and we promise to keep going strong. We’re enjoying our new location at The Great Hall, and we’re still working on making the setting as close to perfect as we can get.

Thanks to all models and artists, all of whom have helped make TKS grow into what it is today. The community that we have is nothing short of fantastic. We like to keep our conversations open, so if you’ve got anything you’d like to discuss, suggest or comment on, let us know.

We’ll be trying some things out over the next little while, not the least of which is becoming more active on our Facebook Fan Page. We’ll be adding content befitting of The Keyhole Sessions in terms of sex, art, music, etc. Thanks to all the great comments we have about our Playlists, we’ll be uploading select videos to FB based on the previous week’s Session. Please feel free to add your own content if you think it fits our style. And keep your drawings coming.

We’re planning a few more Special Extended Sessions. Next one is Dylan Ryan & Jennifer Rose for Valentine’s Day on February 9th. Also in the works is Girls on Film, a photography-only Session {drop your pencils and pick up your cameras; it should be a very interesting night}; as well as a Rope-off between TKS head-rigger, JP Robichaud and guest-rigger, LotusLily.

It’s still far off, but we’re already thinking about this year’s Nuit Blanche. If you weren’t at last year’s, well… sucks to be you. But the good news is that this year’s will be even better. We’ll keep you posted as we confirm dates for all these events.

Stay tuned…


The Morning After The Night Before: Betty & Wilma 01|19|10

by The Madame

Keyhole artists caught a glimpse of what Betty & Wilma get up to when the men are at the Quarry. Shredded dresses peeled away to reveal mammoth furkinis will always make for a fun evening, prehistoric or not. Add JP’s lovely rope {and the unexpected recruitment of the Madame in her collar} the final pose of Betty, Wilma and Dino topped off a night that Hanna Barbera surely never intended to witness. Yay!

Nice to see some old friends returning, plus some new faces. We’re thrilled that TKS is becoming a staple to many an artist’s week.

Photos, Playlist, Drawings to follow throughout the day in the posts below. Please send us your work via email, or upload to our Facebook Page.

See you next Tuesday.
