La Viola Vixen at Ballhaus Berlin by Suzanne Forbes July 12 2019

Here is Shimmy Shake School mâitresse La Viola Vixen.

Gorgeous performer, teacher and co-producer of this show, proudly watching the performances in custom Berlin-made Lupae Latex.

Ah, the magic of these performers!

What glorious muses these Weimar angels of debauchery are!

I haven’t managed to see the theatrical performance of Berlin’s legendary Kabarett der Namenlosen yet, but I got to draw several of its wonderful characters. Above, Le Pustra and the sublime Mama Ulita.Le Pustra, the producer of Kabarett der Namenlosen, has also been co-producing Dr. Sketchy’s Berlin with LalaVox. So it was natural they would do a session featuring the styles and sensuality of the dark cabaret.

And how beautifully the 1930s dance hall setting of Ballhaus Berlin frames them. It’s heartbreaking to feel the spirit of Weimar Berlin right now, as LGBTQIA rights are under attack in places where so much progress had been made.

The Weimar era’s freedom of sexual and gender expression is so fucking poignant right now.

We must not go back, we must protect everyone’s right to be and love who they are, and wear whatever they want.

If you’re in Berlin, see the Kabarett der Namenlosen while you can! Thanks again to Le Pustra, LalaVox and all the performers/models/crew for another lovely time at Dr. Sketchy’s Berlin! Here’s the Insta ? and thanks so very much to my Patrons on Patreon, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to make art!
