I remember catching episodes of Sex and the City when I was in the 8th grade or so and being terribly impressed by Carrie and gang!I mean she had it all...
Carrie: Irrational,whiney and needs to GROW UP!
I cannot get over what she did to Aiden,they actually had an episode dedicated to the fact that she was uneasy in their relationship because it was perfect!I mean come on!The guy wants her to meet his parents and she freaks!Big refuses to let her meet his mother and she stalks them till church and creates a ruckus Carrie style by dropping one of her hideous clutches down the balcony!(Thankfully not on the old lady's head!)
Make up your mind lady!
But the icing on the cake was her cheating on Aiden WITH BIG! :( and he forgives her and takes her back,asks her to marry him and she says yes but does everything in her power to make him feel otherwise!Who refuses to wear an engagement ring around the finger and puts it on a chain instead!oh..ohh.. and adds a lame ass excuse that its closer to her heart this way in the most unconvincing manner possible!
Her love for shoes I understand but spending her entire paycheck on shoes and expecting Charlotte to bail her out when she wants to buy her house is just cheap!She actually walked into Charlottes apartment and yelled at her for not offering to help her financially!
Siiigghhh....with all those crows feet and wrinkles I would have thought she'd be old enough to get her finances in order at least!
Samantha : Promiscuous,provocative and too old to be both the afore mentioned things!
She is the highly successful PR executive who thinks nothing of changing guys like she (hopefully) changes underwear! She lies to get what she wants (The Birkin bag in the Lucy Liu episode),sleeps with random men (waiters,UPS delivery boys anything!) and hates children (even if its the kid of one of her best friends!).
She uses and discards men at lightning speed but is shocked when she figures out that the rich playboy she has been dating is cheating on her!Hummm...what goes around comes around dahlin!
And before I forget she has a decent thing happening with a waiter/model/actor so she disses him(as seems to be the trend,they cannot handle a decent guy!) to go sleep with "Ex-Rich Playboy Boyfriend" at a party that she had gone to as waiter/model/actor 's date!
As usual waiter/model/actor forgives her,waits for her to be done(I know!) and then drops her home safely!(Where do they find these guys!).
What I liked about Samantha's character though was how she handled her breast cancer stage.She was as nonsense as she was earlier and was strong throughout!Behaved like a go getter (even if it meant "pimping" her now boyfriend (waiter/model/actor) )to the receptionist at a hard to get in but amazing Oncologist.
Miranda : High power attorney,no nonsense gal and slightly stuck up.
She comes across as the responsible one throughout the series,that is until she has sympathy sex with Steve and gets pregnant!As seems to be the norm she doesn't love him,doesn't need him UNTILL he moves on and meets someone else!Then he inexplicably becomes the guy for her.But those things aside she does have some kind of sensibilities around her,manages to prioritize her life and works towards achieving it,even if it means leaving baby Brady at home with a nanny.And for all the hard ass that she proclaims herself to be she has shades of softness since she allows Brady to be baptized since Steve's mother wants it done.
And I hope nothing ever happens to her and Steve because Carrie is godmother!Shudder!I can just imagine Brady in Manolo Blahniks!
Charlotte : Shallow,desperate but not obvious!
Am I the only one who thinks Charlotte is shallow?I mean her aim in life is to find a rich,husband,get married and have kids.And she determinedly peruses it!That's when she meets Trey and almost cons him into marry her!She really didn't leave the guy any other option.She then marries him,knowing that he has issues and cannot consummate the marriage.Makes a big scene of it and kicks him out of HIS park avenue penthouse!He fixes his *ahem* problem and she allows him to move in but now wants babies.Puts him through a million tests only to find out that her ovaries are the problem and then becomes irritable and jumpy.
Finally she asks him for a divorce and fights to keep the penthouse which he happily gives her.But what does she manage to do in the meantime?Yes,fall in love with her lawyer!Who isn't good looking as per her standard and so she insults him and insists it on being a one night stand-on a regular basis!
Until......finally accepting that she loves him and converting to Judaism for him!
Extremes I would say!
All in all this show is a good watch I wont deny that and it is written pretty smartly(I really must pick up the book by Candace Brunshell) but if you actually think about it tis is a show about a bunch of semi neurotic women,...but wait...aren't we all??!
Hummm.....no wonder sorrows are drowned in Prada,D&G and Jimmy Shoes!
- Lives in New York in her own apartment
- Has the most delish shoe collection
- Seemed to know everyone in Manhattan who mattered
- Was invited to all the happening parties
- Settled down with a multimillionaire!
