"Maybe we could be each other’s soul mates"
Sex & The City is a series that captured my heart early on and has continued to keep it tight in its grip, as I have watched the episodes over and over and over again through the years. Right off the bat, I felt personally affronted by this show and the characters. Plus, I lusted over countless pairs of Jimmy Choos and Manolos, Cavalli dresses and Vuitton handbags amidst years of exquisite couture.The much anticipated release of the movie is finally upon us, and I had the opportunity to watch it for the first time last night. I’m not going to do a review or a re-cap post, because I think that would be redundant at this point, especially considering that you can read two fabulous takes on the flick from a couple of the ladies I saw it with here and here. What I will say is that I absolutely adored the film. I laughed out loud at times and I cried and cried and cried at others- thankfully we had a box of Kleenex on hand.

It struck me while watching the film last night that what I love about Sex & The City is that it’s a show about women helping each other through difficult relationships, being constant to each other, being family. The idea that you are no one until you’re with someone is outmoded; it’s better to lean on your friends and not be in a relationship than be with a man out of desperation. This is at its core. This is what I can relate to most about these women.
For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, I suggest that you get your butts to a theatre near you as soon as possible. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

Loved it as well! The comradery is definitely what keeps women tuned in, and it was always a fave show of my girlfriends and I. I took my boyfriend to the midnight showing though, and we had a great time and it served as a great romantic comedy.
