The Hair Product line will conduct a "Mini Makeover" for participants


Orlando, FL - Miss America's Outstanding Teen (MAOT) organization announced today that HairZing, a popular TV Shopping brand of hair products will sponsor the Princess Fashion Show on Friday, August 15, 2008. The event will include an exciting "mini-makeover," runway coaching and a red carpet fashion show for the 42 participants in the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Princess Program, a mentoring program for girl ages 6-12.
 
Francesca Kuglen, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of the HairZing is responsible for product development, sales and shared marketing vision. Francesca has spent 20 years developing, manufacturing and marketing products in the accessory and housewares industry. She is well known as a popular guest on QVC where she demonstrates products such as Hair Huggers to a viewership of over 87 million households.

"HairZing is founded on a mission of social responsibility to women and girls across the globe," said founder Francesca Kuglen. "We believe education and business are the two key equalizers in society and when women and girls have access to both, it empowers them and changes the world. MAOT supports and inspires teens to 'aspire higher' and is precisely the type of organization we want to be involved with!"
 
The company's mission is to bring business to female entrepreneurs in areas with limited resources and economic infrastructure. We are building non-traditional, viable and sustainable supply chains by developing useful products that can be appreciated everywhere for their beauty and innovations.
HairZing is the first accessory in this product line, and each hair accessory is hand-crafted with tender loving care in a socially responsible manner – by women, for women.

"Every aspect of our product is focused on women supporting and helping other women. From the women who design our product, to the women who handcraft each one, to the girls and women who wear HairZing---we use mentoring throughout the company," said Kuglen. "This program gives younger girls a place to feel positive about themselves and their abilities while having a great time. How could we possibly not want to be involved?!"
 
MAOT, the "little sister" to Miss America, will host its national competition in Orlando during the week of August 12-16, 2008 with 52 state representatives competing in various competitions for a chance to win over $30,000 in college scholarships and the title of Miss America's Outstanding Teen.
The competition will be held in the Linda Chapin Theatre at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
 
Each Princess participant will receive a HairZing in their goodie bags. HairZing will also sponsor a contestants' dinner on August 11, 2008 and will conduct a demonstration and leave each contestant with her own HairZing.

ORLANDO, FL
- Sōl River Coffee House & Lounge announced today that Miss America 2008, Kirsten Haglund, will sign autographs and offer photo opportunities at its location in Veranda Park this Tuesday, August 12th from 4:30 - 5:30pm.

The reason Miss Haglund will be in Orlando is because of her involvement with the 2008 Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant being held at the Linda Chapin Theatre in Orlando August 12 - 16.

Miss America's Outstanding Teen was organized to encourage positive achievement and community involvement among our nation's youth. The Organization awards scholarships to individuals on the basis of academic merit and civic and social achievement.

Scholarships are awarded without condition or obligation to provide future services.

To show support Sōl River hosted the fifty-two, 13 - 17 year old young women participating in the pageant for a reception at its Veranda Park location this past Saturday. Beverages were provided by Sōl River, Tavern on the Lake provided food, and local band InPassing provided musical entertainment.

"It's always my pleasure to support an organization doing something to encourage positive achievement," said Adam Dudley, owner of Sōl River. "We're grateful that Miss America recognized our contribution and offered to make an appearance and greet our Guests."

Additionally, Sōl River has pledged $1 towards Miss America's Outstanding Teen for every $10 spent on the specialty coffee in its Indie Coffee Studio during the the pageant this week. This pledge includes specialty coffee sold by the pound, half pound, and by the cup.
