PARTY GIRLS* are on the campaign trail near you

PARTY GIRLS* are on the campaign trail near you

PARTY GIRLS Starring Geraldine Brophy, Pinky Agnew and Lyndee-jane Rutherford

Where is the voice of sensible womanhood?

Where is the Party that reflects not just the grass roots and the flax roots, but the retouched roots, too?

Who has their sleeves rolled up, and will wield the broom that will sweep New Zealand clean.

Who will poke the big boys where it hurts?

The answer is obvious and the intrepid three vow to bring their Grumpy wisdom to the Nation once again?

*THE PARTY GIRLS* are on the campaign trail near you!

*Geraldine Brophy, Pinky Agnew* and *Lyndee-Jane Rutherford* -- the gaggle of gal who brought us the hilarious stage production *GRUMPY OLD WOMEN* in 2010 -- have formed the Pinny Party!

It's the only party guaranteed to tick all your boxes this Election year!

Sleeves rolled up, they wield the new broom that will sweep New Zealand clean.

Story goes that the unlikely trio met at an International Apron Expo. After an exhausting day fingering samples and assessing rick-rack, they adjourn for a cup of tea and an asparagus roll. As you do. Sharing a table, the threesome?s talk turned to the upcoming Elections.

There’s only one way to survive Election Year ? laugh!!!
