Sex and the City Crazyness
At some point I caught most of the first season of Sex and the City. I'd never been a big fan of Sarah Jessica Parker, and after seeing the show, nothing changed.
After seeing it, I did not dig out my nameplate and start wearing it. I did not rush out to buy Manolo Blahniks, begin drinking Cosmos, or anything of the sort.
There was a complete disconnect between me/my life, and that show. Which makes sense, what with it being, you know, FICTIONAL and all.
Which is why when I arrived at work today to see the secretary next to me wearing a spandex leotard and a big pink tutu, it was a bit shocking. Sure, I'd spend the money to see the movie, but there's no way in hell I want to be surrounded by people attempting to dress like Carrie Bradshaw in an enclosed space.

Oh No!!! She is not wearing that to work!! That is really funny. I had no idea people were that into it. The show was ok. I never saw the last season though. Definitely not like my life at all either though.
Good taste and common sense (yours)prevail again.
No freaking way.
No way. Really?
I can't even think of a possible decent comment because what? Are you for reals?
I'm with you. I just read an article about all these women who are dressing up and bringing their cosmos to the movie theater, and I'm like, "huh?" Supposedly, SATC "defined" women in their thirties and forties and helped them to talk about sex. Sorry - BTDT in college, you know? I don't need to be "liberated" by Carrie Bradshaw so that I can feel not guilty about having a night off from my husband so I can go out with the girls. I will do that any damn time I want.
I will clearly need to blog about this.
No adult should ever be caught dead in a tutu unless they're performing a ballet. Ever. This whole hoopla over the SATC reminds me of the pre-teen excitement over the latest Harry Potter movie releases. Dress-up parties at Barnes and Noble, anyone? Trivia contests at local libraries?
I have never understood the whole SATC madness. I only watched it a couple of times and thought it was 'eh.' I already talk about raunchy things with my friends, laugh up a storm about some of the dating horrors from those who aren't married, and don't need a TV show to tell me what's the latest cool thing to drink.
Maybe I'm just jealous because my clothes and shoes don't look like theirs? ((shrugs))
For the record, LN has a pink tutu she likes to wear around the house for mini-dance shows. She also is wearing fuschia sparkly mary janes today.
But, also for the record, LN is 3 years old.
That's all I'm going to say.
