RACINE, Wis.-- For ten pairs of best friends, Saturday, November 18 was a night of movie stars, manicures, and make-overs as they traveled to Hollywood for the Glade Light Show Ultimate Slumber Party, hosted by Vanessa Hudgens, star of Disney's mega-hit ‘High School Musical.’
As Grand Prize winners of the Ultimate Slumber Party contest, 10 sets of BFF's (Best Friends Forever) from across the country were flown to Hollywood, CA for a good old-fashioned slumber party where Vanessa dished, danced, and sang with other teen girls in a vanilla-scented and color-lit room created by the Glade Light Show.
Vanessa and her best friend shared their best slumber party stories, secrets of a rising teen star and celebrated the success of her new CD, titled V.
The VIP guests also received a $1,000 shopping spree and participated in fun girl stuff, including manicures, karaoke, and slumber party games.
"I had such a great time hosting the Ultimate Slumber Party and hanging with all of these awesome girls from across the country," says Vanessa Hudgens.
"It was great to spend a night and just kick-back and do all of those girly things that often get put-off, like giving each other manicures, gossiping and singing karaoke. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Saturday night than having an Ultimate Slumber Party!"
To win the VIP trip to hang out with celebrity gal-pal Vanessa, best friends were asked to submit essays on how, in today's high-tech society, they like to "unplug" for some old-fashioned face time-no IM'ing or text messaging allowed.
Winners were chosen on their demonstration of creativity, self-expression and originality in their essay. Some of the girls who submitted winning essays like to get together to do activities from playing team sports, to volunteering their time at an animal rescue shelter, to teaching each other different languages.
"In today's hectic world, we believe that it's even more important for teens to slow down and have a little down time with their best friends," says Kelly Semrau, SC Johnson Vice President of Global Public Affairs and Communication.
