The Manhattan Mishap Quiz Results
Mostly A’s — You’re Liao Chung.
You work hard in life but you also think you deserve a break. Who doesn’t? Sugar daddies are as effective as a six-figure salary. You’re obsessed with reality shows (namely, Drag Race) and it shows. Drama is your middle name, yet somehow, it’s endearing. Appearances are important to you, which is why you choose something health conscious like a spinach omelet for brunch. Secretly, you only care about food calories so that you can consume more in alcoholic beverages.
Mostly B’s — You’re Chantelle Hartman.
You can be a bitch when you want (or need) to be, but your friends know that it comes from the bottom of your heart and you mean well. You believe that honesty is the most fabulous policy—along with luxurious style and smoking hot men. You’re a career woman who blasts Beyoncé in the car on the way to your coveted job. You keep things realer than Megan Thee Stallion and you know that people envy you on the down low.
Mostly C’s — You’re Margot Moss.
Your ideal night-in includes cuddling up on the couch with a gin martini and Girlfriends reruns—preferably alongside your girlfriends or a hottie with a dimple and Ryan Gosling abs. You’re as confident as a jaguar, but sometimes your self-esteem takes a backseat. Kate Moss is your spirit animal. Or at least your style icon. You covet Anna Wintour’s job, loathe empty calories, and feel most at home in New York City.
Mostly D’s — You’re Jessie Browne.
Sweeter than cotton candy, you’re the sprinkles on top of any friend group. Your lip gloss is always flawless. Even though you’re a grown woman, Malibu Barbie is a secret style icon of yours—along with the micro miniskirts and crop tops that Anna Faris sports in The House Bunny. Part of your fragile heart is reserved for bad boys and, as a result, Stronger by Britney Spears has become your heartbreak anthem. Gossip magazines are your reputable news source.
