Weekend Wrap Up

We mentioned in our Fab Friday post that Leah was busy, but not too busy for some weekend plans.  Care to join her?

Tonight, Smak Parlour 6!  This Old City boutique was the first retailer to feature Leah's Vintage Vinyl earrings.  Leah can't wait to see designer/entrepreneurs Abby and Katie at the store's anniversary party, 6 to 9 pm at their 219 Market St. location.  Check out the Facebook invite page here, or their new website.  

Also this weekend, City Arts Salon at Sharktown will be featuring the works of several photographers, including Leah's good friend Jennifer Arlia of Brooklyn.

Leah says:

"She is an amazing photographer who captures life in her own vision in a way we don't neccesarily see. She makes you want to stop and smell the roses. Jennifer resides in Brooklyn. She is easy on the eyes too :)

The show runs 6 to 9 pm on Sunday, here's the event page.

Buddah Pendant

Started in 1967 in New York City, Buddah Records originally made its mark releasing bubblegum pop.  They soon expanded to include memorable acts from multiple genres, which dominated the charts throughout the labels 70s heyday.  Did any of these singles play on your turntable?  Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Spring Shows

Did you know spring started over a week ago?

Seems like Mother Nature never got the memo either, but Leah did: she's been working on a motherlode of Leah Creations, for display and sale at these upcoming spring shows:

More Unearthed

April 7th's RAW:Unearthed is fast approaching... 

G Lounge

Leah got a sneak peak at G Lounge when she chatted on camera with host Erin Como.  

Erin Como

"The place is posh" says Leah of the bank-turned-nightclub.  "Super swanky".  

The interview took place in the Mogul Room (how fitting!), an old vault behind three foot thick doors, described as "the perfect place for business to transpire, relaxation to pervade, and experiences to be shared".  

The Mogul Room

Leah talked about her beginnings, inspirations, and how she began the Vintage Vinyl line.  We also hear there are some choice sound bites from Leah, so we hope to catch this at the event!

Leah's profile is also up at RAW:Natural Born Artists, click here to view it.  And don't forget to buy your tickets for April 7th.  

Order through this link, and make sure you've selected Leah Creation from the "Support your Artist" menu on the right side.  Everyone who supports Leah when they buy online will get a free gift when they see Leah at Unearthed!

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!
