Okay, So I've just discovered Sex and the City!
This may come as a suprise to a lot of people, but last night I watched Sex and the City for the first time ever! Okay, so I've seen snippets from the series but I have never actually sat down and watched it properly.
So last night I went straight in at Sex in the City 2 the movie and I actually loved it. Hence the inspiration for this blog. I was absolutely fixated from start to finish by the glamorous lifestyles of the four main characters, Samantha, Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda. I just loved the witty comments, the flirting and the comical scenes!
Okay so the main character's are much older than I am and therefore there's no way I can relate to the situations in the film, I mean I know don't know anything about, marriage, children and careers, although I'm quickly learning about the latter. They are all meant to be in their 40's and 50's aren't they and I'm 19!
I don't think though, that that is such an issue with this film. It's more a case of looking up to these woman and the whole aspirational idea of wanting to be them when I'm that age. I'm not saying however I want to be Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City because she's absaloutely amazing.
Though I kind of am. I mean, she's writes for Vogue and has had books published - oh hello dream job. The other thing of course, look at them all! They look amazing for middle age right, if I look like that at 50 I'll be pretty chuffed.
In Sex and the City 2 in particular they just give this idea of a totally glamorous lifestyle that most people can only dream about. Carrie has her perfect apartment with Big, oh and that other apartment she never got rid of. Not to mention of course the thousands of pounds worth of pure vintage clothing - in both apartments!
The next thing of course Charlotte Jones is whisking herself and her friends away to Abu Dhabi in the middle east first class to an absolutely unbelievable hotel with their own bar and butler each. Living the life of luxury right - dinner reservations, personal cars and butlers, camel rides and strawberries and champagne in the middle of the desert? Can't be bad.
I can't go with out mentioning Samantha's hilarious care-free character. She's in her 50's, does anything she can to stay young and is quite honestly sex - obsessed. Her character brings such humor to the film and in turn her sexual nature in gets the girls in trouble causing an early return to New York.
Okay I don't necessarily want to be like the girls but it's nice to imagine it now and then. The film really is glamorous, inspiring and I actually loved it - especially as Carrie is a writer!
I will definitely have to watch more - seeing as I jumped straight to the last one however I might be watching slightly in the wrong order but somehow I don't think that matters with Sex and the City!
