We made it. Our kick-off to the 2010 Keyhole Sessions was a success, thanks to all that participated and attended.

There was no better way to celebrate a birthday than with two lovely ladies surrounded by our amazing array of artists. It was great to see a full house of both TKS vets and new faces. Huge apologies to many that I wanted to say hi to, but didn’t get the chance.

Playing with cake with AJ and Dolores del Fuego can never be dull, and JP’s lovely work accented them beautifully.

Our celebration took place in our new digs, The Great Hall. While we’ve got some issues to contend with that is inevitable with a new location, we quite like being in the grand building with its old charm. We thought we’d try having the Session in the round, but if we keep having these fabulous attendance numbers, we’ll have to return to our usual horseshoe formation. We saw that lighting was also an issue, so we’re working on solutions.

Birthday treats: sexy comic art, spa, chocolate, "bondage wine". How awesome is that?

hugs & kisses

Many many thanks to JP, Mattea and Nathaniel for helping things run smoothly, and especially my man, Aaron, for attending to TKS needs even though it sucked up most of his busy day. He was grumpy, but still cute.

Smooches to those who were so kind to bring birthday treats: Danielle, David, Paul, Mattea, Nathaniel & Suzy. So thoughtful and every treat suits me perfectly.

Apologies for not being able to make birthday drinks afterwards. My body was close to shutting down. Raincheck promised.

housekeeping

We are still working on perfecting the space to suit the needs of both models and artists, so please bear with us. If you’ve got comments or suggestions, please send them our way.

Please keep in mind that our space is limited, so try to maintain a small footprint: please only one chair per person. Also, as many artists use media that can messy, please try and clean up the remains, such as shavings & clumps of charcoal dust, etc.

woohoo!

Our Dirty Thirty was a fun kickoff to the year, and we hope that you had as much fun as we did. Here’s to a great year of debaucherous drawing.
