LOS ANGELES, CA, 02/28/2005 -- Blue Q, the innovative creators behind cult beauty brand Dirty Girl has chosen Global Icons, a premier licensing and brand merchandising agency, to develop a comprehensive merchandise program which will translate its award-winning character into a broad-based lifestyle brand.

Product is available in over 1000 retailer outlets including: Ulta, Pure Beauty, Borders, Barnes & Noble College, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, Henri Bendel, and Tower Records. Additionally, the brand has been featured and advertised in many popular publications including: Lucky, Seventeen, Teen People, USA Today, Elle Girl, Self, Business Weekly and many more. “Dirty Girl’s brand essence is transforming functional beauty products into packaging entertainment,” said Mike Gard COO of Global Icons. “A lot of companies have tried to do it, but Blue Q and Dirty Girl are regarded as the masters of the medium.”
