Sex and the City

In honor of the May 30th release of ‘Sex and the City,’ Entertainment Weekly has done a heavenly thing; they have devoted a special double issue, 63 effin’ pages, for the fans of ‘Sex.’ EW is now God in my eyes. If you’re a fan, as I am, you must pick up the May 23rd issue of EW ASAP. Ladies, grab your binoculars, we are going sightseeing, EW has included a map of the city that shows where parts of the film and certain episodes were filmed. There is even a prop guide, which explains some of your favorite hot items from the series, including those Manolo Blahnik’s when Carrie became “fashion roadkill” when she was a "model," and Carrie’s infamous tutu from the opening scene when she is splashed with water from the bus with her face on it. EW also informs fans of the overall story line, that of which will be fantastic, for the movie, the magazine has broken down every single episode for your reading pleasure. From the brilliance of season one, which originally aired in 1998, to the very last episode in 2004, where fans left off with Carrie walking those famous streets of NYC, on the phone with John, b.k.a. Mr. Big. EW not only gave a synopsis of the episodes, but they decided to have some fun, by telling the readers what Carrie contemplated in each and every episode, and put the best sound bite or quote from that particular episode. For example; in episode one, properly titled, “Sex and the City,” Carrie wonders, Why are there so many great unmarried women and no great unmarried men? And for the best sound bite, is from Mr. Big to Carrie when she asks him if he has ever been in love, Absofuckinlutely. It’s the most perfect word ever spoken the whole season, in my opinion, and he says it again in the very last episode when she invites him upstairs, after Mr. Big rescues her from Paris.


With all of this information that I have just given you, and because I am head over heels excited about SATC, I have decided to dedicate my blog until May 30th to the series and film. I would like to use what Carrie contemplates from select episodes from all 6 seasons to find if women are still contemplating the same things 10 years later, and so on.

SATC fans enjoy!
