PINK FADFLY
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who knows when every store in the city is getting a new shipment even before they do. Family and friends are often forced to shade their eyes when you enter a room, because your look is always dazzling. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time wandering around the shopping mall hoping to buy either a New York Yankees baseball cap or a solid oak entertainment center. Be on the lookout for attractive cable television service repair people. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter U, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 781384. Your preferred shopping venue is high-end specialty stores. Your special symbol is the forward slash (/).
Is this You?
As a Pink Fadfly, you flutter from store to store, from product to product, looking for the latest fashions. You are the trend-setter and at the forefront of all fads. If it's new, if it's trendy, if it's on the cutting edge, you are there. Price is not important. Quality is not a prime consideration. For you it's not a matter of form over function or style over substance. The latest trend trumps all.
This isn't me! What am I?
