If you are a woman in the Greater Seattle Area with a pair of high heels and a couple of friends, I bet I saw you last weekend at the Sex and the City Premiere in Seattle.

The Big Picture partnered with Holiday Golightly to host a great party on Saturday afternoon (which was where I saw it with 10 friends), but no matter where I went all weekend I saw groups of women dressed up and heading to movie theaters.

One of the booths was for Holiday Golightly, a company specializing in group travel planning for girlfriends. This is a fun group of people, and they carry that message from the witty name of the company all the way down to the disclaimer on their email marketing messages.

Kerry Rupp, 36, of Seattle, just launched her own business: Holiday Golightly, which does travel planning for girlfriend getaways.

"Women are getting married later, they're more independent. They're doing more things together," Rupp said. That's why she thinks girlfriend getaways and parties have taken off in the past few years.
