The pairing of ZwinkyCuties.com with Jordan Pruitt safely opens Zwinkyville to the tween set. Now tweens everywhere will be able to create Zwinky Cuties avatars of themselves.

Facebook members may be familiar with the big-eyed cartoon characters as users have been able to Zwinky themselves for sometime and post their cartoon alterego to their profile. Zwinky Cuties brings Zwinky world to the 13 and under demographic, an age group that is too young to join Facebook.

ZwinkyCuties.com, announced that it will give one lucky winner "Permission to Fly" to see pop singing sensation Jordan Pruitt in concert and meet the star backstage with the launch of a new sweepstakes*.

ZwinkyCuties.com(TM) ( www.zwinkycuties.com) is a COPPA-compliant website and virtual world that welcomes and encourages girls ages six and up to safely explore their individuality and creativity. Girls can create their own avatar and persona, shop for virtual clothes and furniture, adopt online pets, play games like "Pizza Pitch" (a variation of "Connect Four") and Ducky Duck, and of course, make friends with other girls having fun in the Zwinky Cuties world.

The sweepstakes offers users multiple chances to win several exciting prizes. One lucky grand prize winner will receive a trip for four to see Jordan Pruitt perform in concert. The package includes prime location concert tickets, coveted backstage passes, roundtrip air transportation to the city where the concert is being held and hotel accommodations.

Additional weekly prize drawings will be held for Jordan Pruitt fan packages that include an autographed photo, her "Permission to Fly" CD and tee shirt, and glow stick. One hundred weekly prize winners will also win exclusive Jordan Pruitt-branded virtual clothing items for their Zwinky Cuties avatar.

Known for her spirited and sensitive renditions of both her own original collaborative compositions as well as those of other songwriters, Jordan Pruitt recently followed up her 2007 debut CD for Hollywood Records with her highly acclaimed new album Permission to Fly. Her work has been featured in the Disney Channel film "Read It and Weep", and her videos and music have enjoyed extensive play on the Disney Channel and Radio Disney.

I took this picture at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester New York. I was sitting 4th row center at the High School Musical: The Concert Tour.

I'm part of the creative team behind Zwinky Cuties. The few pics of mine in this post are the two outside views of Times Square on the day of the Zwinky Cuties launch event, Jordan Pruitt on stage with our CEO and his daughter, and the team unwinding after the Times Square launch event.
