Reading back on some of my recent posts, I've realized how much I'm starting to sound like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City.

Only, in my case it's Sex and the London City... seen through a distorted mirror. I must be going through that period in Carrie's life when she was dating Aiden (my Kevin) -- and it's lasting more than 5 years. We have other wonderful things in common: we lie on our beds to write into our laptops/notepads about trivial sexual stuff, we are hot and look good in outlandish outfits, we have a tendency of dropping cakes as we cut through heavy traffic, and we always bump into D-list celebrities. If I am Carrie, who are my fellow slags?

I don't have to look hard to see [livejournal.com profile] slave2dafunk as Samantha Fox... just as mad for "it" and just as frustrated. Somebody should put a warning in all tourist books about how shy English men can be. You have to practically douse them down with beer before they make an effort to say hello. Taking the Tube in this city is an exercise in looking at sexually frustrated faces and wondering how they are keeping the population numbers from falling (is that why it's so easy for illegal immigrants to get in?)

I'm undecided about who Silke is... probably Charlotte. Looking for her prince, the man she'll settle down with... and kind of a princess herself. Very sweet and generous but also capricious.

Which leaves us with the ginger haired woman... I always forget her name. Maybe she's Ginger Minger. If that's true, Ginger Minger is dating someone with only one ball in his scrotum.

Yes, welcome to my show.

That's because you are not a New Yorker (read that with a New Yorka accent...)

The British Samantha Fox spends her nights drinking tea and wondering about Nubian princes she meets at the local laundrymat.

What you need are a couple of Chanel Powersuits...

You're the bargain basement Samantha... but that's ok, cause I'm going on sale too.

Miranda is her name, damnit!

oh yeah, her! Miranda... I like that name... maybe Ginger Minger is not her, after all.

No! Cause Miranda is a good character! And she is looking really good this season too.

indeed she is... i think she's the best looking of the lot. But that's why my Sex and the London City world is a parallel universe, cause Ginger Minger is quite ugly...

and god knows you'll never catch me on those high heels Carrie wears.

sex in the city ain't pretty

i've tried to watch that show more than once (just to see if i missed something) and i can't help but hate it. some of the characters are seriously underwritten - 'samantha' and the brunette are pretty much one-liners. i can't imagine how grown people in their thirties could allow themselves this depth of narcisstic self-indulgence, or why this lifestyle, as it's portrayed, could be compelling to anyone. so much whining, and pettiness, and buying - this show is not only annoying but contributes to the worst stereotypes about women. spice girls for the twenty-something set. the characters are supposed to be smart, with-it women - one of them is supposed to be a lawyer, another is a curator- why is it that they can only apply their wits to their own sex lives? also, are carrie's columns intended to be insightful? the same cliches are available in more interesting ways.
also, i find the actors singularly uncharismatic.

i don't get this phenomenon.

hehe.... i see it as an attempt by 30-somethings to inject some meaning into their otherwise meaningless lives... but since they never had meaning to it before, they can't get past the shallow - sex, shopping, studs.

i thought it was funny for a while, but i also got bored of it... in fact, i'm starting to find most shows on tv boring. There's one exception: Horizon, this awesome documentary show that has very interesting scientific explorations each week. On thursday they had a show that explained what AIDS was, how the virus worked, the history of the fight against it... it freaked me out! AIDS is actually the strongest force in nature! There has never been such a fast mutating virus, or organism, in the history of our planet! I'm just surprised it hasn't made the leap and become airborne.
