Every woman at sometime in her life under goes a gut wrenching heartache at the hands of a man. At this crucial yet turbulent moment we strive to pick ourselves up, throw away the tub of Ben and Jerry's and press on and not look back. However this is almost an impossible feat without the unwavering support of our sisters. Our amazing girlfriends who have seen us through thick and thin, and who like us can sympathize as they too have endured a similar experience. Shattered Girlz is apparel and merchandise line that is embodies that very concept and is portrayed through the life of a colorful and quirky character, Dolly. Girlz young and old can relate to her and sport her image as well as her insightful phrases!

The founder of Shattered Girlz, Debra Waibel, is one woman who put her broken heart to good use, for not only herself but for other girlz throughout the country! Debra was tired of digging her way out of a deep, dark hole of failed romance and being left with a feeling of loss. She gained her strength and created Shattered Girlz, an apparel and merchandise line with girl power and girl vision.

The line focuses on Dolly Tatume (pronounced Tattoo-me), the main character. This cute, tattooed character embraces the kick-him-to-the-curb mentality, and empowers her to be an independent woman who stands on her own. If things don't work out, she will press on. Monster is her loving canine sidekick and her former boyfriends are reduced to rocker piggys who happen to play in the band the Smashing Pigs. Dolly character is in a line of many girlz with different looks and personalities all made to represent a broken hearted Shattered Girl that you may know.

The collection is the first interactive apparel line and is great for all of us who have had our heart broken and still have something to say or for those who may just like the cute and quirky presence Dolly presents. Ladies have the option of picking a shirt already created or just simply write a Dear Piggy letter about their own piggy.  In this way, they can vent their frustration over how he hurt them, and if their letter is chosen as the best, it will be printed on Shattered Girlz apparel and merchandise for them or other girlz to purchase, characters included! 

The line comes in baseball tees, t-shirts, hoodies, panties, mugs, pillows, clock, notebooks and many other items that girlz can decorate their room or pad with! Plus sizes are available as well. As sisters we must band together and support Dolly and her new friends in their struggle to get over yet another boy...Dolly you could do so much better girl!
