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

PG Tip: Dating...How to transform the "Walk of Shame" into the "Stride of Pride"

It's happened to the best of us.
After a Big Festa, you decide to have an impromptu dance party back at your bf's/gf's and wake to find that you are without Ammo (toiletries, lingerie, your Sunday best).



With a tiny bit of planning, and a little bit of effort, you can turn that Walk of Shame into your most fabulous Stride of Pride.

Before your next night out:
Step 1: Ensure all handbags / clutches in your posession have two tiny permanent fixtures.  Lipstick and vial of perfume.

The Morning After the Big Festa + Dance Party:
Step 2:  Fragrance your clothes from the night before with the perfume that you have so diligently packed in your handbag/clutch.
Step 3:  Shower.  Wash hair if it was a particularly energetic dance party.
Step 4:  Moisturise.  Ladies, you may have to use your mans anti-wrinkle face cream all over your body, but it's never a bad thing to have less wrinkles on places such as your calves.
Step 5:  Deodorant:  You may have to borrow your bf's 'Lynx' or the like, but keep in mind this is just for the short term.
Step 6:  Dig out that Lipstick from Step 1. Glam up. Don't be shy.
Step 7:  Drape yourself in that sweet smelling outfit from last night and put on a huge smile.

Put on some great music while your dance partner cooks you breakfast.

On your way out, borrow a pair of sunglasses.  The bigger the frames, the better!

By now, you will be feeling + looking fabulous !  One issue you may encounter is that now you are looking so glam again, your bf/gf may wish to have another dance party before you go...  It's up to you...

Stride with Pride onto your next destination knowing that you played a dynamite Away game.



Should you wish to take the Stride of Pride up to the next level, there is one thing you can do to make sure your next away game is an even greater success.

Encourage your bf/gf to purchase a motorbike.
Next time, you can make the journey to your next destination via the Ride of Pride 


Happy travels !

PG Tip: Fashion tip in practice - Anna dello Russo

She may be the Creative Director of Vogue Japan, but she has to get her inspiration from somewhere, right?

It appears that Signora dello Russo has been making great use of her PG Tips, in particular, our old adage of "There's no such thing as 'Too' anything".

Let's take you through Anna's example.

Example number one:
A rookie may ask herself/himself, "Is this dress too revealing?"




Anna dello Russo: "No."




Example number two:
Rookie error:  "Is this too much Leopard print?".



Anna dello Russo:   "HELL No!"

Anna:  With a cold glass of our finest Prosecco in hand, Saluti !
