Tattoo News

Leah's getting another tattoo soon!  An addition actually, to the rendering of her orange record player on her arm. 

Right now Michael Jackson's Off The Wall is on display, but Leah wants Jerome Gunn at Tru Blu Tatu to add Diana Ross's Diana to the mix!

Of course this is an excuse for a long overdue video break.  Enjoy the music, and check in this week for more news on Saturday's Lingfest!

Big Weekend

Leah got right back into the swing of things after returning from Italy this week.  She had to, with two shows this weekend and Lingfest coming up on June 4th.

We told you about Saturday's Trenton Avenue Arts Festival; be sure to stop by if you're in or near East Kensington tomorrow between noon and 5pm.

Sunday is the Punk Rock Flea Market, a bi-annual event with proceeds used to insure (literally) all-ages shows for under-aged fans.  Pay 3 measley bucks to peruse over 200 tables of old records, clothes, art, crafts, treasures, junk and everything in between.  This Sunday May 22, 10am to 5pm, at 461 N. 9th Street in Philly.  See you there!

Trenton Avenue Arts Festival

Leah will be back from Italy in time for this Saturday's Trenton Avenue Arts Festival in East Kensington!


Sponsored by the East Kensington Neighbor's association, the fest celebrates the neighborhood's mix of artists, musicians and eateries. 


Thousands flock to Trenton Avenue every year to browse over 150 art vendors, listen to live music by local artists, and enjoy food and treats for every taste. The weather will be sunny and warm so come out, see Leah and enjoy the day!

Go to the event's Facebook page for event info, and check out their blog for a complete line up of vendors, including artist profiles, and their Flickr page for photos of past festivals.

Lingfest Spotlight: Break Away Ink Apparel

A wide range of local artists and designers will be with Leah at Lingfest June 4th!  

Check out Break Away Ink Apparel and their line of graphic t-shirts, hats and casual wear:  

They have a great website (check out the lookbook), and their Facebook page sums up their philosophy:

"BreakawayINK exists for those who respect the true meaning in the arts, music, design... whatever it might be. 


The goal is to keep you folks walking tall. Walk on, walk strong. Break Away."


In addition to Lingfest, you can shop Break Away Ink through their website, or visit Nestology in the King of Prussia Mall.  Check out Leah's line there, too!  These looks would definitely work with a little Vintage Vinyl.


Leah is still accepting applications from local artists and craftspeople looking to show their handmade items, with proceeds benefitting Girls Rock Philly.  Read more about the event here.

Lingfest Spotlight: Dana Davis, Material Poetry

Don't forget Lingfest is a little more than 3 weeks away!  


Leah is organizing the event at Philadelphia Flea Market's June 4th outing at Jefferson Square Park.  


One artist to look for is Dana Davis of Material Poetry.  Her unique, handmade jewelry has "vintage flair and a neo-Victorian, steam punk attitude!"


Dana explains: "All items are handmade, with my favorite materials: lace, pearls, feathers, up-cycled vintage and antique jewelry, watch parts and keys.  Every piece is unique and one of a kind, some may be copied in style, but never identical". 


Her work includes all kinds of jewelry, including feathered hair adornments that can double as shoulder plates.  Check out her line here and be sure to look for her (and Leah) at Lingfest!
