Kristofer Sproull Thrives On

Kristofer Sproull is a consummate man about town. The sort of gent who pops up when you least expect it, causes five minutes of fun and hilarity and then vanishes into the ether. Kris is also one of Auckland's top style mavens. From his clothing store Prosper under Metropolis, Kris kits out the tasteful in a range of slick international threads. It's worth your taking a look.

D. Mark Harrison.  What’s so freaking hot about you right now?
Kristofer Sproull.  My below-average amount of body hair.

D.M.H.  What do you think is cool about Auckland?
K.S.   If I was to choose one cool thing about Auckland I'd have to say that, no matter where you are in Auckland, you're always about 10 minutes from a beach.

D.M.H.  Where would you park your super yacht right now for some fun?
K.S.  If wasn't getting repairs right now I guess I'd park it right outside Three Kings Retirement Home - they have a moat.

D.M.H.  If you had to get out of Auckland in a hurry what’s the one thing you’d take with you?
K.S.   Vodafone signal. I was going to say 'phone', but to what use would that be without signal. But to what use to me is a signal without a phone? Hence, we are faced with the Vodafone dilemma, ladies and gentlemen.

D.M.H.  What is so freaking special about you talent wise?
K.S.   After being dropped from Cirque De Sole, I perfected my 'being able to swear in like 7 languages' talent.

D.M.H.  Define a great life
K.S.  Being able to thrive however, whenever and with whomever you want. Sex.
