Party Personality

Here we are almost at the end of October; where’s the year gone?

It all depends on where it starts. For me, it’s spring; we all come out of hibernation, and the celebrations begin. On the sunny coast, we like to celebrate everything; we even love celebrating celebrations, and there's one way to celebrate that always promises a good time: a costume party!

So, in celebration of spring and dressing up, we better find out who you’ll be dressing up as with a quiz.

Mostly A’s — CLEOPATRA

Hello social butterfly! You’ve got party season down to a fine art. You love getting dressed up and getting amongst it but you know when to call it a night. You’re not one to be seen staggering with shoes off at nights end, absolutely not!

Mostly B’s — NUN

Your ideal party is catching up with your favourite people, sharing a few G&T’s. Pictionary is your go to game to get the party started, and you’re proud not to confuse hangovers as your bff’s. You love being social but are often happy to be the designated driver.

Mostly C’s — WILDCAT

No guest list is complete without your name on it! You ARE the party and come alive during party season. If you find yourself with a free weekend, you’ll throw your own. You never have time to update your socials because you refuse to miss a minute of the action.

Mixture of A’s, B’s and C’s?

Sounds like you're a bit of a cocktail; the best place to find what speaks to you is a secondhand shop; they are full of possibilities, so you can mix it up and create whatever character you want.
