From creating original fashions to auctioning them in real time, creative
tweens and teens now have unprecedented ability to interact online with a
safety net

WILMINGTON, Del., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- www.GirlSense.com, an ingenious
fashion community for tween and teen girls, has just launched GirlSense
Marketplace and GirlSense Groups; two new features that take advantage of the
excitement of safe real time interaction.
    The innovative Marketplace is the newest addition to GirlSense.com, a
wildly popular online fashion community that blends social networking with an
artistic, inspired, virtual fashion world.  Now with the addition of GirlSense
Marketplace, members' fashions can be scheduled for live auctions. Bidders
will have an opportunity to see the virtual fashions up for auction, view
current bids and place their own, chat with other bidders in the auction room
and see when the item has been sold.
    The new GirlSense Groups offer girls a place to develop a social network
around a common interest.  Group founders can open up their groups to all
interested community members or create private groups enabling them to meet
their friends on an invitation-only basis.
    To host the group and auction chats in an age appropriate, safe
environment, GirlSense uses technology based on a white list (database of
words that are allowed) with auto-complete capabilities making this real-time
safe chat easy and natural.
    Most importantly to its creator, GirlSense is a place where girls can
build self-esteem while interacting with their peers.  "We wanted an
imaginative site that would serve as a positive influence and inspire our
members, nurture their creativity, and encourage mastering new skills," says
Cathy Glazer, creator and CEO.
    "We are thrilled to give them an even more exciting platform to share
their creations and ideas with the GirlSense community."
