MIND YOUR Ps & Qs

A-List
A-list type people are usually high achievers (or pretend to be), most likely to succeed (or have a wealthy partner), and obviously popular (when they walk into a bar, they must acknowledge a minimum number of 7 people). They should not be concerned about their status. They can wake up and feel like they are somebody. They are frequently called by the hosts.
B-List
B-list type people are appreciated because they perform tasks essential to the maintenance of the A-Listers. Chores include washing dishes, preparing elaborate meals while claiming "oh, it's nothing special, I make it all the time", sweeping, and occasionally just giving everybody else someone to bitch about.  Making the hosts laugh adds to their value. More often than not, B-Listers must call the hosts for an invite.
C-List
The boat is full. Or Jow is having a "private" weekend. Sorry.
Everybody else
People who don't care about an invite, but like the fact of lounging about when there is nothing else to do. Or their dates cancelled.

Please note:
Each list contains a max. of 9 people.  Vacancies (if any) are posted above and should be vigorously applied for. Contributions from any high-end, preferably obscure shop ("I picked it up in the medina while I was in Marrakesh") should increase your chances of moving up the ladder. So would sprucing up your appearance, sharpening your jokes, or bringing lots of illicit substances. Another plus is bringing someone Craig would want to brag about.  

Recent Updates
Treva moved to the B-List because she didn't bring any imported food from Capers last time she came up so there are now ______ possible spaces for the A-List. Start practicing now!

THE BIG BEAT BREAKFAST

Our model having trouble reading the instructions

• Bring whatever you can dig up from the cupboard at home and always tell Craig that it's from Capers and Paul that it was featured in Wallpaper
• Shoo Kaiya and Sadie away.
• Make yourself an early bird cocktail (stick to beverages that call for juice as a mix- vitamin c content is necessary for the long day ahead).
• Empty package into a bowl.
• Don't forget to read the instructions. Put on glasses.
• Quickly dispose of the offending value-pack bag.
• Sift the powder to seee if there are any suspicious lumps or weevils in it.
• Add liquid to properly coat the powder, preferably milk, not leftover sauvignon blanc, no matter what vintage.
• Mix the mess up with some big beat music blaring. Time to wake up the deadbeats anyway.
• Shake your hips. Turn up music even louder. Add some bass.
• Throw the mixture on a hot griddle and hope that no one notices how absolutely crappy they really are.
• Play some more big beat music to appease the guests. Have another cocktail.
