Tiny circus at Go West!

Tangle Movement Arts was back with their “tinycircus” at the Go West! Craft Fest yesterday at The Woodlands cemetery. This saucy performance on the silks was a particular hit with the kids in attendance.

Rock that Chartreuse eyeshadow at Go West! on Saturday

Posted on 08 September 2011 by Mike Lyons

GoWestAs we all know green is in. And I don’t mean the color of Kermit the Frog. Green as in clean, organic, natural. Sarah Holmes brings that idea of natural to a pretty fantastic line of health and beauty products, which she will show off on Saturday at VIX Emporium (5009 Baltimore Ave.) as part of the annual Go West! Craft Fest, which runs from noon to 5 p.m. at Cedar Park and nearby businesses.

Holmes, who owns Gritty City Beauty Co., is putting on a makeup workshop at VIX called Rock that Chartreuse Eyeshadow: Create Your Own Custom Color. Participants will learn how to blend natural mineral eyeshadows into the color you have always wanted. Stop by the workshop at VIX anytime between noon and 5 p.m. and Sarah will hook you up with everything you need. She’ll also show you how to make it happen. The cost for the workshop is $10. Folks can also check out all her products, from natural face wash to organic men’s aftershave.

Go West! will also include an all-day vintage and used bike sale at the friendly neighborhood bike shop Firehouse Bicycles (above Dock Street Brewing). A whole bunch of vendors will be set up in Cedar Park selling all manner of West Philly delights.  Singer/songwriter Loren Gilder will play at 1 p.m. A special children’s program begins at 2 p.m. with Pamela Draper playing kids classics. And, oh yes, there will be face painting and other fun kid stuff. The West Philly band Sour Mash (Facebook page) will play at 3 p.m.
