PG Tip: When to move the festa on.

There comes a time at every festa, when it's time to move on...to another festa. Remember festas are fluid - you can't try pin them down to one location, so keep moving.


Knowing the right moment to move is essential to keeping the festa alive for the maximum duration. Usually about 5 or 6 locales make up the perfect festa, but we'e known festas with only 2 or 3 that have also worked quite well.

Here's some clues to perfecting this extended festa technique:

1. Listen to your WingWoman. Remember she knows best. If she says, 'Let's move this festa on!' Go. No questions asked.

2. Any clashes between your suitors start. Such as when the motorbike racer suitor tries to cut in on the paraglider pilot suitor. If there are any signs of suitor clash whatsoever you may have left your move too late. Try to move the festa on before this happens next time, and you'll avoid any damage to your handbag from the potential fallout.

3. You are bored with your outfit. Make a quick change en route to the next festa locale. 2 or 3 changes per festa is about right.

4. Occassionally you may need to move the festa to a new town or island altogether. If you have danced with every suitor on the island for example, and they know you even by your middle name, perhaps take the festa across land or sea.

5. You've danced all your make-up off. Pick a new location, with softer lighting.

6. You've run out props. You've posed with every available hat, puppy and pole. Move on. Gear up again.

7. You've run out of strangers to dance to Pitbull with. Definitely time to move on.

8. You notice the current locale has CCTV or the paps have arrived. Move on. No-one gets your shot for free.

Know the signs and keep the festa alive.

Ciao! Baci x
