MOSTLY A’s
YOU ARE…GABBY KARAN DE FELICE
You’re utterly divine, but what may look luxe in Manhattan is just par for the course in these parts. Ridiculous, but true, chérie. Keep on enjoying the good life!

MOSTLY B’s
YOU ARE…JESSICA SEINFELD
A little more luxe than the usual, but with your drive and entrepreneurial spirit, we’re certain you’ve earned your splurges. Work hard, play harder!

MOSTLY C’s

A little outrageous, just how we like it. Fortunes are made, and fortunes fade, but yours is the type that just keeps bouncing back. We salute you!

Your myriad bank accounts are so flush that even oceanfront real estate (or Candy Spelling’s place) barely makes a dent. If you ever find yourself lonely, call us—we’re usually free!
