That wasn't an intro...it was a commercial.

SATC has the same intro where Carrie is walking down the street and at the end, the bus splashes her.

Sorry! I meant the commercial that they used to show on HBO. I really liked that one. The current one does have Carrie looking very pretty(You know sometimes she doesn't look her best, but I do think she's unusually pretty). And check out Samantha's dress! All I can say is, if you got it, flaunt it!

And I also missed the little commerical with them walking forward in those TIGHT ASS white suits(man oh man if I could find one for the next convention that looked like Carrie's, plus the hat!)

Damn this thread is long, long live SATC!lol!

Does anyone remember Melissa? From Real World New Orleans? Well she has a site and I found her thoughts on the last episode of Sex & The City hilarious - instead of summing it up, I will just paste it in:

Debt & The City

So, you know how when you watch TV, you sometimes have to remind yourself that it's make-believe before you get all pissy about what's going on. It's not real, man. Well, I watched Sex & The City last night and it practically glorified credit card debt and shoe shopping beyond your means. I mean, I could conceivably blame Sex & The City the next time I just have the urge to go buy more shoes I don't need. I mean, if I was so low that I needed to actually displace the blame in order to get the dirty deed done.

Okay, so Carrie's rent is only $750. In Manhattan. I know, rent control. But is rent control that good? Do you know how hot that apartment is? I always wondered how she could afford the apartment and the Manolo Blahniks. Okay, and she only had $700 in savings and $900 in checking (or something absurd like that). Actually, now that I think about it, that's so real it's scary. She has to be hundreds of thousands in debt. She just has to be. And her life is just grand. And it is just TV. So let me keep my brown ass inside before I go wasting this money because Carrie Bradshaw did. I am a grown ass adult looking at TV, trying to find excuses. They need a little disclaimer for every shopping scene on that show. Do Not Try This At Home, You Broke Fool.

Also, I just realized this...

Um, when she was denied a loan from the bank (which in real life she wouldn't have been because I know fools that only have $4 and a part-time job that get loans) in the next scene she was wearing a Coco Chanel shirt! If Carrie sold even just 20 pairs of her shoes, she'd be alright. Garage sale? I mean, she doesn't have a garage, but come on now, let's get practical.

And if Charlotte didn't want to give her the money in the first place, Carrie shouldn't have taken that ring in the second place. Coersion? Guilt? And I thought you didn't have any money! Shouldn't you be having tea at home! Over the gas stove! It was all too much. Just take the money from Mr. Big and continue the weird relationship. He doesn't need the money back and with all the galavanting and rendezvousing they do, he would probably forget about the money anyway. I don't know though, I wouldn't take that money from a man. So he could be trying to control me. Oh hell no. But still, I coudln't take old girl's ring! She can play make-believe marriage in that big ass crib all she wants. Someone please stop making Charlotte wear Easter dresses every day. It's killing me.

That was hella-funny. I'm still laughing at the Charlotte and the Easter dresses.

Diva7401 · #**110** 01-29-2002, 10:08 PM

I'm Mad! I thought that BIG was making a COME BACK and all it ended up to be was a CAMEO! What's up with that?

As for Carrie BROKE-SHAW, (Don't get me wrong-I could empathize with her financial woes were caused by medical bills or student loans but 40K on shoes? C'mon) I would have taken that money from BIG in a New York minute! Although he is "The Man" he has put that girl through some changes....is 30K the going rate for breaking someone's heart these days?

I have to agree with Melissa, if Carrie is in dire need of CASH, why is she posted-up in a restuarant in almost every scene?

Ideal08 · #**111** 01-30-2002, 03:32 PM

I would've taken the money from Big, too! In a HEARTBEAT! Woulda said thank you so much, and kept on steppin!

tickledpink · #**112** 02-04-2002, 10:39 PM

OK, I missed the beginning (shoot!), gotta catch it at 10 on HBOP. Anyway: What the heck happened to Carrie's hair???

Maybe me watching the beginning will explain that, but catching it in the middle, I was like, what the heck?

Ole girl's baby shower ---- one of us was there???

I've never seen an Afro American on this show, but I haven't been watching it as long as some of the veterans.

That excessory closet was a dream come true! Why can't stuff like that happen in real life --- minus the old man, of course.

AND...

A monogamous (sp?) Sam? Say it Aint so???

And, what day does the show really come on? I can never tell if I'm watching a repeat!!!

Here's a link to a New York magazine story about Candace Bushnell, creator of Sex and the City:
http://www.nymetro.com/personals/art.../bushnell1.htm

By the way, I also liked Sunday's episode. I could have done w/o ol' "cookie man" Julian, however, and his tired wrinkled-up tail. Candice Bergen was funny as Carrie's editor, and loved her cat-eye glasses.

And I did notice one of "us" at the baby shower. The baby was adorable, reminded me of my LS' son.

By the way, Soror TP, Samantha was dating an African American man in one of the earlier episodes, but he broke it off after his sister objected to it.

I also felt the "excessory" closet. Great shoes, although Manolo Blahnik does too many high heels for my taste. What happened to nice kitten heels?

Charlotte made me want to cry. She still wants a baby so badly.

AKA2D '91 · #**115** 02-06-2002, 12:03 AM

Yes, Soror, there have been a few of us on the show.

I can probably count on ONE hand, now, maybe, 2 how many of us have had speaking parts.

UMMMMMM, what was up with that baby's hair?

LMAO! Actually, I shouldn't laugh too hard because my nephew was looking like that for a hot minute. He had a lot of hair on top and NOTHING on the sides. But, at least my sister braided up the little bit that they had.

I almost fainted when they went into the accessories closet. I could have cried, I was in heaven. To me, there is no such thing as too many high heels. The higher the better for me. I'm short with long legs (

I really don't know how that happened) but stillettoes make my legs look great.

I knew that old man was going to try something. Whenever a man who is straight is too nice to me, somewhere in the back of my head I always think that they have an ulterior motive.

I like Carrie's new haircut. Supposedly, tickledpink, she got a new haircut to go with her new mortgage and new job. I think it would look much better if she wore it straight and sleek. I think a nice bob looks great on just about everybody. It's a little too short for her to still be trying to wear it curly. It looks crazy like that.

P.S. Miss Bradshaw needs to make an appointment with her colorist because her roots were showing all in the back of her head. I can't stand watching someone's roots grow in. If you can't keep it up, then you don't need permanent hair color. Get something that will gradually wash out because obvious roots are tacky.

I haven't yet seen the finale, but my sister taped it for me and will prolly watch it Saturday. I wonder if Big will make guest appearances next season?

It was a relationship low season. But I'm glad Charlotte is rid of Trey. As I've said before, there's something not right about that man, never mind his Park Avenue pedigree.
I also have never felt Steve, even though as Miranda's baby daddy, there will be a connection. Steve reminds me of ol' dorky Woody Allen (in terms of personality, not pedophilia. LOL.)

volgirl2376 · #**120** 02-13-2002, 03:25 PM

Ladies, I have a question that is bugging me about Sex & The City. I cant remember if I dreamt this, or if I actually saw it on a commercial for next season.

Carrie was out somewhere in town and saw Aiden (sp?) and he was with Natasha (Bigs ex) and Aiden made a comment to a surprised Carrie "well it looks like we have something in common after all" or something like that.

Did I dream this?? Lol I cant remember!
