everyones talking about it so why not...

I haven't yet seen the Sex and the City movie.
I will, though. I just want to wait until theaters aren't crowded and I can go with my best girlfriends. Will they let you into this movie without a couple friends? I think it's a requirement...

Have you seen it?
Don't tell me anything, please.

I feel like I pretty much have seen it because of HUGE amount of publicity that is EVERYWHERE. I change the channel every time I see it on television, I DON'T want to know. Even when they tell me "nothing" or just little "hints" they are giving away too much. I want to know nothing... unfortunately it's too late.

The television show had a huge impact on my adolescent development, probably more then I should admit. No, I'm not a crazy sex-addict like some people are complaining about (did you hear that story? ridiculous). The show came out when I was 12, we didn't get HBO back then or really any channels period. (We didn't really watch tv, we were still outside playing and stuff).
But I can remember getting the dvds of the shows and watching them sneakily with my older cousin. I couldn't believe they could say stuff like that on television! I couldn't believe that women were so empowered, in control and sexual! This was unlike anything that I knew in my little Connecticut town...

So no, I'm one of those people who is using Sex and the City as some excuse for inappropriate behavior, but I am crediting the television show with teaching me that there are many boys in the sea, to expect nothing but the best (no settling!), to be creative with fashion, to always be there for your girlfriends, and what all those dirty words meant...
