( February 13, 2008) The 2008 Grammy® Awards celebrated its 50 year history as a diverse group of performers took the stage live from Los Angeles and via satellite link from London. Winners as varied as 24 year-old Brit Amy Winehouse and 67year-old African American jazz musician Herbie Hancock engrossed audiences with an awards ceremony that was anything but run of the mill.

It is an honor to be asked to present at the world renowned Grammy® Awards and for the average Joe, half the prestige involved may come down to the official gift bags presented to those celebrity presenters stepping up to the stage. Women ooh and ah at the array of exclusive gifts bundled together and given away, chock full of covetable beauty and bath products, candles, scents, electronics, musical compilations and a plethora of additional otherworldly dream-items.

African American entrepreneur Rochelle McAllister, founder of The Sisterhood Boutique was ecstatic to discover one of her creations included in this year’s official gift bag. Creator of the IVY ROSE doll, a limited edition collector’s item and first in a series of sorority-inspired dolls, The Sisterhood Boutique represents all that is feminine and fashionable and seeks to foster and support the growth of women-owned businesses throughout the nation and world. The Sisterhood Boutique was founded in 2006, making the beautiful IVY ROSE doll, the company’s first signature product, and its debut at the 2008 Grammy® Awards as an official gift bag present all the more of an achievement.

The elegant IVY ROSE doll retails for $125, though dolls numbered 3 - 10 went for around $300 a piece, and is a truly luxurious collector’s item sure to be coveted by many. For more information on The Sisterhood Boutique and the IVY ROSE doll please visit www.sisterhoodboutique.com.
