The FlirtyGirls have been awfully busy. We’ve just sent out a new tween series to a select group of publishers for consideration, and have a few super-secret projects going through the final stages of development before we pitch them as well.

Sorry we’ve been so quiet recently, but we’ve been gearing up for an amazing FASHIONISTA launch and working on Bradford #3. But it was worth the wait, because now we’ve got a bunch of blogiddy goodness for you, counting down to the launch of Fashionista later this month.

First, hot off the presses (or the iMac, more likely), is the trailer for Fashionista.

Hello, Bradford fans!

Today is a very special day—the anniversary of the birth of Bradford’s talented author, Micol Ostow. So let’s all wish her the most fantabulous of birthdays!

(Meanwhile, she’s toiling away on the third Bradford manuscript, so cheer her on!)

I have it on good authority that several Bradfordians actually sent her e-mails to wish her well. How meta!

Micol, here’s hoping you get to eat lots of Smooch sweets and drink a Saketini to celebrate you special day!

Happy Birthday!
