Hi iBesties Backers!
We just wanted to send an update of what we've been up to. Last Saturday we competed in the Geek Girls Tech Conference pitch competition and won first place (yay!). The judges said they can "see iBesties being the media darling of the tech world!" We also wanted to let you know that we will be at Comic Con on July 9th at the Geeks Go Glam party! Hopefully we'll see some of you there.
Our other big announcement is that our Jada prototype is finally on her way here from Hong Kong! Her hand-band, bow tie and shoes will be made locally so you can get the full effect once we dress her up and do a photo shoot.
Our first prototype, McKenna, took us almost 8 months to perfect. This time, Jada only took about 3 months! The hardest part was getting her eye color and hair correct. We're still not 100% loving the hair so it might be a bit more curly once we go into production.
Making dolls isn't as easy as it looks :)
Thank you again for your support! We can't wait to get these books and dolls into the hands of little girls everywhere!
xoxo,
Gina & Jenae
