have you heard about that god-awful book idea the eight tribes of new zealand? i have and was outraged. disregarding the fact there were real tribes in new zealand long before there were sociologist or anthropologist or whatever ologists who wanted to make a quick buck by publishing their self indulgent work, and that these 'tribes' are much cooler than any coffee table book, i took the online quiz. cos, i'm home and bored and whatnot.

you can take the quiz too.

these are my results.

apparently i'm avant garde. to quote the internet

The Cuba Street Tribe Avant-Garde is a transitional Tribe for young alternative Kiwis on the cutting edge of cool, where new is the greatest virtue, being labelled mainstream the greatest fear and self-expression the great preoccupation. The Cuba Street tribe is the edge from which many trends and fashions emerge in the 80s it was the vanguard of espresso, in the 90s of body piercing and tattoos.

i can back up this cutting edge thing, as tonight i bought couture and the designer himself was there. although i smiled and became remuera when i ranted on loudly so he could overhear about how i will only buy my jewellery from equip these days because marie claire magazine said so.
