Gina wants to start her own company where she creates business attire for women. She wants to create a line of products made by women for women. One of her products is a stylish hat that when worn correctly warms the head so that when woman leave for work with wet hair they won't catch a cold. In fact this is one of the biggest selling points of the item following Gina's advertisement campaign that claims "Skip the flu/ Skip the sick days/ Get ahead at work with Firenzi's Fashionable Hats."

Shannon has always been fashionable. It is the first winter she will be working in Seattle so of course she wants a Firenzi Fashionable Hat. She buys one and wears it from time to time.
