Yes, I am preoccupied with this topic recently on my blog. Consider, I have recently stopped nursing, if that means anything to you.
My Comcast On-Demand has old episodes of Sex in the City. Yes, I am five years too late, but I had a life when the show was originally broadcast. Furthermore, it is inappropriate and the soft-core pornography requires a lot of fast-forwarding, so On-Demand is the perfect solution to catch up on this ubiquitous pop culture reference.
What is it about this show? Am I supposed to identify with these women?
Samantha is a whore.
Charlotte's a snot.
Miranda's a bitch.
And Carrie, Carrie is just plain ugly.
So, yes. I identify.
Back to the ugly. How did this bridge troll get famous? Even with subtle plastic surgery, she looks like she got hit by an ugly truck. Bad roots, scary wrinkly face, crazy mole thing, and those clothes?! THIS woman is a fashion icon?
Maybe Sex in the City's target audience was ugly drunk tramps, or those who aspire to be ugly drunk tramps. Watching it is not unlike watching a train wreck.
Excuse me while I go pre-order my tickets for the movie (coming out May 2008).

I agree. It is for whores, and she is the ugliest one. I'm glad you are getting caught up for cultural reference though. If you want them pre-edited, I think they are on USA. I have been forever scarred by the Up the Butt episode. It's good that you are watching this- like research for the book you are reading with your students about the hideous pornification of America. I hope Dx is watching them too. It's bonding.
WHEN DID YOU QUIT NURSING? I swear I've taught you guys nothing about La Leche.
You totally called it!! You have finally said what everyone was thinking but, did not have the courage for fear of being shunned. Carrie Bradshaw IS UGLY!!! It's like the old fable "The Emperor's New Clothes", You have to like it because every one likes it! Carrie is the Emperor!
She is ugly but she has a hot body. I bugs me that she refuses to cut James Wilke's hair, though. You know how I feel about hair.
I think the point of the show was fashion, but I don't know because I was never allowed to watch it. Clearly I am repressed.
Thank you all for agreeing with the whole ugly thing. A lot of people I know think that she's super gorgeous, and I'm always blown away by this. She looks like a skinny Bette Midler!
So, did you name your kid after the "Sex in the City" girl?! How CUTE!
P.S. She is so her husband's (Matthew Brodrick) beard! Too bad, I was so in love with- Feris.
Why does Celia know her kid's whole name? Disturbing.
I have a whole new love for SJP what with the whole Bitten line and everything.
it's the mole. i can't handle the mole.
you can be a fabulous style icon and still be ugly. think diana vreeland.
i say there needs to be more hating on kim cattrall on this comment page. she's the one paddle-boating topless around the hamptons and publishing sex manuals because she can't separate life from art.
I couldn't agree more. And seriously, can anyone explain to me how sarah jessica is a fashion icon?? I really don't get that one either!
Thanks to Paige's vocab lesson, I know that Carrie Bradshaw is a butterface.
I can give Sara J Parker credit though, because she married Matthew Broderick who we all loved in the 80's.
I agree that he's SJP's beard. And there's nothing wrong with naming your child after a sex and the city character (figure it out).
