Well, you get to wave at lots of Amish people. I don't think Amish people are allowed to ride scooters...But I'm not an Amish expert yet so you can't quote me on that. Strasburg Scooters in Lancaster, PA is only about an hour and a half outside of Philly. It doesn't take long to find green rolling hills and people that make you feel like you went back in time. You can find great deals on their scooter tours. My friends and I did the covered bridge scooter tour. Not only is it crazy fun, but it turned out to be quite meditative too. 

Covered Bridges

Picture
Every single Amish person we passed waved at us with a welcoming hello as we rode through their countryside. Small children came running out to try to get us to beep beep....and we would beep beep. John, our tour guide taught us a lot of amazing history about the old covered bridges...I'll keep it suspenseful and let him tell you. 
Picture
Oh, the history...How can we create an interesting camera shot with all this history?

Can you tell she forgot all about her 9-5?

An Amish Farm

Picture
John took us to an Amish farm where we got to meet many Amish animals. There were clothes hanging out to dry, dogs playing in the yard and a kid plowing a field with 4 horses and huge iron plow. Takes way more skill than a video game...
Picture
The Amish have little foo foo dogs too. They have more in common with Paris Hilton than they think.
Picture
Amish horse just parked by the bridge next to our scooters.... amazing find.
Picture
This Amish baby cow knew that I didn't eat meat and we became friends. 
Picture
Yeah, that's what you think it is! We toured the little barn that makes outhouses. This was an assembly line of sorts. 
Picture
Do it.

Do it.

It's  Official! The 2014 Pinups for Pitbulls Calendar has gone to press! I am lucky enough to be a part of the calendar this year! The pup I got to pose with is named Romeo and he needs a home! 

Romeo can be found at Molly's Place Rescue and he is one of the shelter's favorites. Even though he has many friends he doesn't have a family yet. I would adopt him quick before he becomes famous when the calender releases and his head gets too big.

For more information on how to bring this pup home check, out the link below.

If you have been living under a rock...or if you just didn't know about this, the Philadelphia Art Museum is the new hip hangout on Wednesday nights. Hipsters listen up, you can pay as you wish for entry and there are tons of activities going on.

Yoga

They have a really fun Yoga class that starts at 6pm on the slightly private balcony of the second floor. It's such an interesting environment for doing yoga - being surrounded by history, art and the occasional curious museum explorer. 

An instructor from the local Dhyana Yoga Studio teaches this super fun class. Don't forget your Yoga mat! 

Dr. Sketchy's - James Bond Session

Picture
What is Dr. Sketchy's? It is the Anti-Art School of America! Candy Mayhem is the Leader of the Philadelphia pack of sexy models that roam the city looking for bored artists to spice up their sketch books. The Philadelphia branch of Dr.Sketchy’s has different events all over the city. If you missed this one check out their website for upcoming events. 

The models hair and make-up were done by Raina Clarke in Celeste Giuliano's Pin-up Photography studio. If you are interested in capturing your inner pin-up - I vouch that Celeste Giuliano is a magical pin-up wizard-ess who will crack you up during your shoot, make you feel like a goddess and make your man's eyes bug out of his head.

They have really fun employees at the art museum on Wednesday, btw.
Picture
Dr. Sketchy's has art supplies for you to use, free of charge. Art isn't just for artists!
Picture
I caught two awesome people at this event - the dashing host Candy Mayhem and ridiculously amazing graphic artist David Seidman. When he finishes publishing one of his graphic novels I'll show you how he turned me into a murderous panther girl and then get eaten by a giant squid. 

If you are interested in modeling for Dr. Sketchy's, attending a session or hosting an event, please contact drsketchyphilly@gmail.com
