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

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.

influential people," said Friederichsen, a former chief operating

professional identities. The gala provided a unique opportunity for
local heavyweights to exercise these skills, and exchange their new
plans and ideas."
