Oh and forgot the city girl thing too. Love nothing more than to loiter at the mall or cafe! Shopping and coffee hmmmmm 
Used to fight with my brother all the time as he grew up in Pamly and I used to call it the country (sorry palmy girls) as it is quite small

I'm a low-key city girl. That is, I like town water and clean hands and no animals. But I don't need the whole shopping and cafe lifestyle, I'm quite happy with a few friends over for a pot-luck dinner. And don't mind wearing sloppy jeans at home, etc. Also if I'm not going to work, I usually don't wear makeup - at work I wear minimal.

I'm a fair bit like Teresa. I used to go out to my sisters farm, and i liked zooming round on the four-wheeler, and i liked helping feed the calfies.. but always sraight back inside afterwards to wash it all off, lol. I think the main thing i hated about the country - to be honest, is the idea there might be spiders about. lol pitiful aye?
I hang around home mostly in casual stuff. Tends to be jeans most of the time. tend to wear that stuff to work too cos we get changed into scrubs so it doesn't matter too much.
When i go out, i do like to wear something a bit stylier - only cos i don't get to do it much. so yes, going into town does invlove make-up, hair straighteneing and necklace, rings and earings. All stuff that i don't wear day to day cos i can't wear them to work so forget in between. I do tend to like long slimming pants and high heeled shoes for going out anywhere nice too, plus they make me taller.
I like the made-up and straightened hair look, cos otherwise i do tend to look tired and old (which is what i am) but make up at work just melts so it's silly, i wear mascara and lipgloss. and straighteneing my hair comes very very last most days - as in, if i don't have time, too bad, so maybe go to work with nice hair about once a week if i'm lucky/or happy to be late. lol
I do like cafes, and shopping, but money tends to be spent on other things so they're a nice treat when i get to do em. I love going to stay at my sisters and going to auckland and Hamilton etc. I love shopping, I am just so bad with it that i don't do it, If i start i don't stop.
So, um, kinda low-key girly city girl, mixed with working mum, mixed with traditional, baking, sewing crafty stuff too. ok, I'm a mixed bag.... a 50cent mixture. lol

Definitely Tom boy here... I have even been accused of being a man due to my taste in movies.

I just cant put myself into one either.
I think Im somewhere in the middle of girly and tom boy.
I love the shopping, nightlife and restaurants of the city.
I love the openess of country and the animals.
Grew up in a town and would love to move to one to raise our family.

City girl and girly girl here. I like the idea of the country but I could never live anywhere but a city- could possibly stomach living in a smaller town but it would have to be within 20-30 minutes to a city for me to be ok. I'm definitely not a tom boy- I can get stuck in and do 'mans' work if I absolutely have to but I HATE it and its definitely not me.

I am a country girl and a girly girl, I love being out in the country, we live out the wap waps, but I love fashion and make up and all that. WHen Im not pregnant Im the type who will wear skinny leg jeans with my boots tucked in them and funky tops  I love clothes lol!!!
My mum is a hairdresser, Ive done hairdressing and Im a qualified nail tech!
I dont wear a lot of make up though, a bit of foundation and some mascara, I am a lip glass freak though, I have a million things of lip gloss!!! lol
Im definitly not a tom boy, but Im not afraid of getting dirty either.

I'm more of a tomboy country girl, but not completely.
I grew up on a farm in the wop wops and now live in the city, but I miss the space you have in the country and being able to see the southern alps out the window. I miss the country people too, very friendly and straight up, no game playing.
I always had toy guns and bow and arrows when growing up. I also like wearing trousers and don't care about designer clothes or shoes and hardly ever wear make up and am not afraid to get my hands dirty or do hard physical work outside.
However i do sometimes like to dress up nice, love diamonds and I enjoy the convenience of the city.

Hmmmm,...well,...
I grew up in Auck, but always said I wanted to live somewhere much quieter. Loved living In Whakatane, cos shops and 'bigger' cities were only an hr away when I needed them! Now I constantly crave desent shopping and a change of scenery,..Gisborne is way too isolated for my liking! But I love that Isla loves farm bikes, sheep etc when we visit the in-laws (20mins away). I quite like it, but need to wah up and get clean, and would have to drive to town each day to keep sane of I lived there!
I wear clothes that are comfy, but I love getting dressed up, but harldy ever get the chance now. Wearing makeup and dressing nicely , having my haird done and eyebrows waxed gives me confidence.
