Los Angeles CA (PRWEB) August 9, 2006
Brette Borow, Founder of Girls’ Guide To, LLC and founding member, Cassie Mancuso of Lake Forest Sports Cars host the Midwest Girls Guide To Launch Party Saturday August 12, 2006 at Chicago hotspot, Enclave.
Growing up is hard to do. Brette Borow, Founder of Girls’ Guide To, LLC is committed to making the transition easier. Brette has brought together a group of women and together they have created the first digital handbook for women ages 17-25. With GirlsGuideTo. com the transition for young women is guaranteed to be less painful.
Brette Borow, along with Founding Circle members Cassie Mancuso, Jenny Kuzma and Olivia Johnson, are excited to bring Girls Guide To back home to Chicago. Girls Guide To is an interactive online destination for women 17-25 with 100% of the content driven by the audience. Girls Guide To allows girls to connect, speak out, and ask questions they might not be able to ask anywhere else.
“I am excited about bringing Girls Guide To back home to Chicago. It all started because the eight other girls in the founding circle (which includes Chicago natives Olivia Johnson, Cassie Mancuso, and Jenny Kuzma) and I got tired of feeling that everyone was talking about us rather than to us. We set out to create a place that not only spoke to us but let us speak out too,” said Borow, “A place where we could share our stories, ask our questions, and get advice, from people going through the exact same thing. A place that was honest, ripe, and organic. We did it, and that place is now Girls’ Guide To. Our goal is to inspire every young woman to feel positively about herself. Girls’ Guide To was created to resonate with all females in our audience. It’s feminine, fun, and straight to the point,” Borow said.
The site whose rolling launch began in May of 2006 with a Hollywood event provides a source of education, information, and support. Users easily navigate between the six main sections: Love and Sex, Beauty and Style, Mind and Body, College and Career, and 411. The site is still in its beta testing phase combines user generated content with online forums, streaming video and lots more in the works.
The Midwest Launch Party sponsored in part with Lake Forest Sports Cars will be held on Saturday August 12th, at Enclave, beginning at 9 p. m. with an open Svedka Vodka Bar from 9-10. There will also be a raffle with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Eileen Shea Lupton Memorial Foundation/Dream for Eileen.

“Girls Guide To, really is more than a website. It truly is a destination. It’s the stuff we dealt with or are even still dealing with. Love, life, relationships, body changes, finances, grad school, finding the perfect career, or even just an apartment,” Isabel Mize, founding circle member, said. “Young women going off to college or making their way in the real world are living on their own for the first time and it’s scary. We’re trying to offer as real a look as possible and to help other girls know they are not alone.”
