Miss O & Friends is a website that is directed towards girls who are in middle school. Miss O & Friends was started by a girl named Juliette Brindak when she was the age of 10 with the help of her mother and father. It all started when she was on her way home from vacation and she was drawing little cartoons of girls that she called “Cool Girls”. Her mother was a graphic designer so she thought it would be fun to take the drawings and put them on the computer for her. On Juliette’s little sister’s birthday, her mom blew up the drawings so all of her little sister’s friends could see what they had been working on and have “Miss O-like” characters for them. They absolutely loved them.
When Juliette was 13 years old, her sister was 8 and was going to be a middle schooler in the near future. Juliette was aware of how stressful middle school could be and didn’t want her sister to have to deal with all of the struggles that it brought. She wanted to come up with a place where girls could go and feel relaxed, take their mind off the drama of school, and help them through the difficult years to come. That is when the real idea of Miss O & Friends came into play. Since her mom was a graphic designer and her father knew a little bit about business, Miss O & Friends was launched in April 2005.
Now you might be asking, “What is Miss O & Friends even about”? Well, it is a place where young girls can play games, take quizzes, and participate in different online contests. You are also able to see what is trending in the world and listen to the music that is popular today. Overall, it’s a great place for middle school girls to keep their mind off of what is going on in school.
After exploring the website for a little while and looking around, I am a little jealous and wish I knew about this when I was younger. Miss O & Friends has a lot of very cool things to do for young girls and it is creative. It would have been a great place to go and explore when I was having trouble in my middle school years. If you have a younger sister, I would totally recommend you tell her about Miss O & friends because there are a lot of cool things for her to do on here. Happy Blogging!
Miss O & Friends has a wonderful story behind their venture! I also love the idea of having a “great place to go and explore” during middle school. Those years can be rough and its good to know that there are people looking to aid during this time. After scrolling through the website, however, I was a little disappointed to see the layout and abundant advertising. It would be neat to see the company expand and redesign in the future so that their website could have a cleaner interface!
