County
COTO DE CAZA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Glitter Girl, a high-end Orange County boutique specializing in unique clothing
and accessories, unveiled its highly anticipated "Jeana Bag" handbag-named after
Jeana Keough from The Real Housewives of Orange County -at an exclusive Orange
County gala at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 25, 2009. Glitter Girl representative
Stacy Friederichsen hosted the Hawaiian-themed bash at her prestigious new
residence, former home to Vicki Gunvalson from The Real Housewives of Orange
County in Coto de Caza, Calif. 

Featuring Hawaiian music, hors d`oeuvres and elaborate décor, the event provided
Glitter Girl and Friederichsen with a premier platform for unveiling the stylish
new handbag. In addition, the gala united powerhouses from the arts and business
communities, creating an innovative forum for corporate networking in light of
the slowed economy. 

"In a whole new way, this event connected some of Orange County`s most
influential people," said Friederichsen, a former chief operating officer and
executive vice president of a NASDAQ financial services firm who is currently
reinventing her own career due to uncertainty in the financial sector. "The
state of our economy has changed the face of business for everyone, and people
are using new skills to recreate their professional identities. The gala
provided a unique opportunity for local heavyweights to exercise these skills,
and exchange their new plans and ideas." 

Event highlights included the Jeana Bag by Glitter Girl product showcase, lei
greetings, Polynesian dancers, fire throwers, drummers, an open bar and live
