I am...ms. mars-<BR/><BR/>Again you have my read my thoughts. I am no die hard SATC fan, but I do enjoy the show. When my male friends put the show down and stereotype the viewers as a bunch of insipid college girls in their pajama's sipping on cosmos, I have always stuck up for it. The bottom line is the show was successful because out of the four women in the show, most women can relate to one. And they watch that women say all the thinks they think, and may not be able to say. And the truth of the matter is, when women are with their closest friends, they talk like that. I believe that through centuries of female oppression we still subconsciously hold on to some of those ideals, and we feel embarrassed when we let our selfs go. SATC patted women on that back and told them they weren't the only ones. Thats why the show was so successful. All it is was honest writing.Maybe I should drink a lot less coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807110169174014073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-83287894725456880622008-04-03T20:39:00.000-04:002008-04-03T20:39:00.000-04:00I am finding that I'm always one comment behind TB...I am finding that I'm always one comment behind TBW when I visit blogs. But it won't stop me.<BR/><BR/>I was late coming to SATC, but I'll admit that as soon as I found it, I fell hard. I still watch and re-watch episodes. It's as you said: it isn't about relating to the personalities of the 4 ladies, but it is about connecting to their open-ness. <BR/><BR/>Although the styling behind the show and the way NY is framed is all fiction, it's also an inspiration for me to inject a little more colour and spontaneity into my outfits and my attitude, even if I don't live in the Big Apple or get invited to Prada parties. <BR/><BR/>After watching an episode, I always feel excited about my wardrobe again, even if an hour ago I swore I had nothing to wear ever again. It's about being bold enough to add glamour and romance into the everday. The fact that doing so may be inconvenient or ridiculous, as fashion and life often are, is what makes it worth while.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872744958444734047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-76815247439226210512008-04-03T15:01:00.000-04:002008-04-03T15:01:00.000-04:00As the movie release date approaches I have notice...As the movie release date approaches I have noticed many people coming out of the woodwork to exclaim that they have "always disliked SATC." Before I had seen an episode I had largely thought the same thing. Then I watched one, and the rest, as they say, is history.<BR/><BR/>To echo the S's collective comments - the show is such that its flaws do not detract from it, but rather give it most of its charm. These women are not, in my mind, meant to be role models (and really, why do we keep demanding characters that we like? Do we really want a world of Everybody Loves Raymond 24hrs a day? Oh wait - that world has already happened.) <BR/><BR/>I am definitely going to watch the movie, and in anticipation will be reviewing seasons 2-7 again.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874196441496831678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-45775137377979254542008-04-03T12:28:00.000-04:002008-04-03T12:28:00.000-04:00lovely post. it's really refreashing to hear someo...lovely post. it's really refreashing to hear someone have a more realistic and thoughtful opinion of the show. at the time, i was amazed because i never seen anything like it, and it did touch upon some issues even us less glamourous single urban women go though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-87491978090191434792008-04-03T12:15:00.000-04:002008-04-03T12:15:00.000-04:00Once when a stalker physically accosted me on the ...Once when a stalker physically accosted me on the street in Rome (he grabbed me by the arm after following me for ages; it definitely wasn't one of those cute "oh, Italian men are just like that" things), I shrieked, "Screw you, I'm from New York!" and he finally ran off.

The progression of the text is just perfect.<BR/>Then, I have never been a big SATC fan and I have to say the very few times I have seen it I was struck by that open sex-talk in it, it was a mixture of funny and discouraging to me. However, I am somehow looking forward to watching the film, mostly because of the styling.<BR/><BR/>xxIñakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336174220949077674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-52078315752831968542008-04-03T02:21:00.000-04:002008-04-03T02:21:00.000-04:00'Lopsided and Arbitrary' would be a good way of pu...'Lopsided and Arbitrary' would be a good way of putting it....
