What on earth makes you think there is significant overlap between "party girls" and entrepreneurial-minded women? What you are looking for would be an extremely rare find -- not only are female entrepreneurs unlikely to be party girls, we generally don't like to socialize with them, either. So, don't get your hopes up for the perfect co-founder who groks that demographic to come along.
One of the things that will surprise you if you build
something popular is that you won't know your users.
Reddit now has almost half a million unique visitors a
month. Who are all those people? They have no idea.
No web startup does. And since you don't know your
users, it's dangerous to guess what they'll like.
Better to release something and let them tell you.

I don’t believe that the co-founder needs to be a “party girl”. If she goes out once in a while with her friends and uses the application, that should be enough.
I think this is a slow process. At this stage, just testing if registration works, avatars upload, proper emails are sent and so on.

I also wanted to add this quote by PG that founders do not need to identify with their users: http://www.paulgraham.com/startuplessons.html
