Original Contest Description:

"Imagine that fashionable young city gal who oozes taste and hipness — perhaps she’s fresh out of college and trying to establish herself in the Big City. She wants to dress like her favorite character from “Sex and the City” but doesn’t have the same deep pockets — yet. Our girl might be entry-level but on the fast track, or maybe established in a creative job that pays more in “cachet” than salary. Although she wouldn’t be caught dead buying shoes in the mall, between going out 4 nights a week and living in the fashionable part of town she’s not quite ready to plop down $500 on a pair of Manolo Blahniks either.

What we want you to do is name the niche or demographic that this woman represents. We don’t want a critical name, but one that celebrates or encapsulates her combination of taste and ambition. Remember also, this is not a slogan.

Some famous demographic or taste movement names from the past and present: Generation X, Yuppie, Beatnik, Flapper, Homeboy, Club Kid, Bohemian, Punk, Hip-hopper, Preppy, Valley Girl, Flower Child."
