Too Sexy For Its Own Good?

2004_01_satcflute.jpg

Apparently, there was cause of worry about what kind of exampes these women from Sex and the City were, what with their high fashion, fruity drinks, and dating different men. Because the Post finds a few women who have decided to model their lives on the characters of the hit HBO show, to the point of realizing that the jobs are crappy and there's a lot of debt to be had. These must be the girls who got the Rachel haircut when Friends came out or wanted the prom dress Kelly wore on 90210 (full disclosure: Gothamist's friends were ones who shouted "Donna Martin graduates" at graduation). Then there are the women who angrily say, "I was doing those things before the show!" or "I've had it with the over-sexed, over-spending, frivolously shallow personas of these New York women - and the real women on the street trying to emulate that lifestyle. There's nothing sexy about it." Over sexed, over spent, and frivolously shallow – hey, isn't that why you moved to NY anyway?

The Times talks to the SATC cast and crew and some regular women (boring!) about the show's end. Lynn Harris, a Gothamist favorite because she created Breakup Girl says, "I will die happy if I never hear somebody say, `Your life is so "Sex and the City."' I guess it's better than hearing that your life is so `Oz.'" Again, says you.

Live the Sex and the City high life with a champagne flute etched with "SATC" that just screams "classy!"

As for last night's episode, Gothamist would like to say "More Anthony/Mario Cantone, more Harry, more bitter Miranda!"

i like the whole miranda/steve story line but i will be so sad to see robert (blair underwood) taken out of the whole mix. man, he's the the hottest guy sex & the city has had.

also, i was cringing when they were doing the whole googling thing.. thinking how everyone will be googling everyone and it will be this whole new thing when really it's *so* 3 years ago.

ha, rachelle commenting on blair underwood...typical.

How embarrassing.

This is why they have "Do Not Attempt Stunt" at the bottom of the screen during car commercials, and "Warning! Beverages Are Extremely Hot!" printed on coffee cups.

was samantha limping or was her cooch all cramped up post-richard wright in the bathroom? cute smith...

and was robert hosting a panty party for phat farm?

Personally, I thought it a weak start for the last 8 episodes. But for Anthony, the episode was one of the weaker ones of the past few years. Here's to hoping it picks up 'til the end.

Good call on the Google thing. I thought they would have addressed how behind the times Carrie was on that one.

If they kept he show going any longer,
they could re-title it,

'The Golden Girls: The Early Years'

I totally agree about the Googling; I would think a shopper worth Carrie's salt would know how to Google to find out where such and such a brand was sold. It's like when Charlotte used Amazon or Carrie instant messaged with Aidan - like it was the first time anyone had done it.

Mario Cantone is always a kick. When is HBO going to show reruns of "Steampipe Alley", his incredibly bizarre kid's show?
