Fab in a minute. First, your weekend checklist:
- Tell your artist friends about Lingfest, Leah's birthday/event (does that girl ever not mix biz and fun?) marketing hand-made works from local artists, designers and craftspeople. Print out the application here, fees are tax deductible because this is a fundraiser for Girls Rock Philly!
- Order tickets for RAW:Unearthed, Thursday April 7th at G Lounge. It's a cocktail party/artist's showcase! All local, featuring a musical performance, fashion show, film screening, art gallery, performance art and hair & makeup artists. .Order through this link, and Leah will have a present waiting for you when you show up!
- Start planning your outfit for Unearthed. Seriously! This is a stylish, chic event, and you know Leah can always help with accesories. Shop Leah Creation's Vintage Vinyl line at Smak Parlor in Old City or Nestology at the King of Prussia mall, or order online at Fashionstake. And you can always email Leah directly at leahcreation@gmail.com. She loves custom orders!
Ok, Fabtime:

| Motown necklace and earring set |
We promised Leah a Motown post this week. Isn't it obvious how much she loves that Motor City Sound? Who doesn't? Berry Gordy helped bring "black music" to the mainstream, but more importantly, he brought black artists to the mainstream, into everyone's living room (and onto their turntables, of course) at the height of the Civil Rights struggle. The social and cultural impact of that can't be measured.
The enormous talent that Motown unleashed can't be measured, either. These acts dominated Pop and R&B for decades, and their influence still lives on today. We can't even list them all, and forgive us if we leave someone you love out, but sit back, crank up your speakers/headphones, and play these on full screen. We're starting with two from everyone's favorite girl group, the embodiment of all that is FAB, the Supremes!
Leah is looking forward to a summer of more fun (and successful shows!)...she is taking all of her considerable energy and putting it into her beautiful work, and the awesome people it brings into her life! Thanks to everyone who helped make Lingfest a success!
Leah's getting another tattoo soon! An addition actually, to the rendering of her orange record player on her arm. 
Check out their Facebook for more info and photos. Lingfest is being held in conjunction with Philadelphia Flea Markets, and proceeds benefit Girls Rock Philly. Read more about the event here.
A wide range of local artists and designers will be with Leah at Lingfest June 4th! 
Saturday is the Prospect Park Craft Fair in Brooklyn. Held annually on the day before Mother's Day, local artists and craftspeople share and sell their handmade goods among the beautiful springtime park setting. Leah will be there, so if you need a last minute gift for mom, stop by!
And Sunday, Leah and Jonelle are off to Italy for some much needed R&R. After that it's the Trenton Avenue Arts Festival, the Punk Rock Flea Market, and Lingfest, Leah's birthday party and fundraiser for Girls Rock Philly, held during Philadelphia Flea Markets' June 4th event at Jefferson Square in South Philly.
Leah is donating her proceeds from organizing this event-within-an-event to Girls Rock Philly, an organization "dedicated to providing girls from the greater Philadelphia region with a positive all-female musical environment" by sponsoring local Rock and Roll camps. How cool is that?
