Nothing Too Trivial
Lauren Conrad. Heidi Montag. Audrina Partridge. Whitney Port. Kristin Cavallari. All names that have been synonymous with popular culture since their teenage days at Laguna Beach. Now the girls – who spend their time sipping cocktails in Los Angeles, working for teen fashion mags and desperately denying sex tape rumours – are making an impact on Brisbane's own nightlife thanks to Uber, says Events Planner Kelly Ledger.
“Even though the girls in the show seem to have endless bank accounts, they still have the same problems as everybody else … I think you'll find a lot of women actually do relate to the characters on the show because they're all going through similar things to what women in Australia are going through as well.â€
Uber will host The Hills Trivia night, which Kelly says is a fresh idea, spawned from nights spent answering questions about those other American socialites: Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
“I went to a ‘Sex And The City’ trivia night a few years ago and that was fantastic, lots of fun. But ‘Sex And The City’ has been done to death so it was all about what can we do that's going to be different and up-to-date. ‘The Hills’ has got a real cult following, so it just seemed like a natural idea.â€
Kelly says a lot of research went into planning the night, spending countless hours herself chatting to lovely Brisbane ladies, finding out what women really want on a night out.
“We'll definitely be having clean bathrooms. We've also arranged to have product samples in the bathroom so women can put a little moisturiser on, it's all about being pretty and coming out and having a good time.â€
Ladies' night at Uber will also feature a specialised 'pamper zone' filled with local hairdressers and make-up artists, and a lolly bar, where each guest can fill up on as many sweet treats as they like. But though it's ladies' night, Kelly says guys are still welcome.
“There will probably be a few token guys who will want to come and see what everything's about. They would be game to walk into a room with probably about 100 women, you'd have to give them points for guts, definitely.â€
