REJOICE FOR SPOOKY SEASON!! 🎃 👻 🥀

You know as an Oct baby I love all things spooky...and no one does that better than the Victorians (except maybe the Ancient Egyptians, well put a pin in that) so I'm suuuuper excited to have one of our most nichely knowledgeable HPN models (& author/researcher/salem local/tour guide/historic interpreter/PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR) yet: @ghostsbooksandcats !! I was giddy when she told me about her background in this, and I can't wait for her to share her wealth of knowledge with you all!!! She's also so funny and clever, it is going to be an awesome night!

Also..... this is on MY BIRTHDAYYY 🎂 🎈 SO YOU BETTER COME!!! If you haven't gotten to one yet, this is the one I wanna see you at. Wear something spooky, bring a lil treat (if you love me), come thinking about your dearly departed ancestors, and get ready to learn some awesome spooky history 🖤

(Also get ready for us to talk a lot of shit about the W@rren M*seum.....)

This Historic Portrait Night is happening at @lifedrawingboston 72 Joy St Somerville, 6:30-9:30, right off the east somerville green line stop! by @lifedrawingboston

Yes this is technically a life drawing group but it’s also a social experience and a soulful one! Talk to strangers, stay off your phones during the breaks, connect, engage, and please let go of the idea of perfection by @lifedrawingboston

🪷 DESI DRESSING HISTORIC PORTRAIT NIGHT 🪷
sept 2026

Yall 🥺❤️ we had such a beautiful night last wednesday at our latest HPN with @lifedrawingboston at @loov_the, with our model @chinmayi_d showing off her grandmother's gorgeous silk Paithani Saree, handmade in Paithan, Maharashtra. 🇮🇳

Hailing from Nagpur, Maharashtra, Chinmayi showed us different ways of draping and wearing this Saree, distinguished by lotus, vining flowers, and Parrots adorning the bottom of the garment on the Pallu (decorative edge piece, pictured towards the end).

We also got to see her beautiful Lehenga and Dupatta (which unintentionally matched super well with my Kurta) I loved the rich colors - some of the artists said it reminded them of Wonder Woman (without the US imperialism).

BIG Thanks to big @davidbmichaelson for introducing us - and even BIGGER thanks to @just1pin for the beautiful photography that i didn't even ask for him to do. He's just that awesome and good. Plus, he made a chain of marigolds from the @loov_patio_garden 🌼

I'm FINALLY going to get around to posting all of the Historic Portrait Night pictures that i've gotten over the months (almost a year?!?!?), so stay tuned for more gorgeous pictures of gorgeous people in gorgeous attire 🥳💓🔆 taken in The Loov by @lifedrawingboston

Hey y’all! In September, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, LDB is raising door prices - from $15 to $20. We’re also offering a package; $100/month gets you unlimited monthly figure drawing sessions.

This move is coming after months (years, really) of deliberation and honestly I’m very excited. While it’s necessary for us to stay open - and for people to get paid - it also enables us to continue to grow, improve what we have, and serve more community needs.

This has been a WILD journey and it’s truly an honor to be on it with y’all. Please reach out to me personally if you can’t swing this! I promise I’ll work with you. If you have ANY questions I’m happy to answer them. by @lifedrawingboston
