It's the perfect setup for her to develop her secret identity as The Vinyl Princess author of both a brand-new zine and blog. From the safety of her favourite place on earth Allie is poised to have it all: love music and blogging.

At least her blog seems to be gaining interest one vinyl junkie at a time....
