Sex and the City
I am a fairly conservative person and I used to think badly of Sex and the City. For one thing, the women sleep around, something that is completely foreign to me. Lets just say wearing white on my wedding day really meant something to me and actually for James too. :-) And although it's a decision many friends could not understand, we're glad we both made the decision. So you get the idea that I'm kinda innocent. Anyway, I just thought Sex and the City was a bad influence promoting something no so good. But then my friend Rebecca insisted I borrow her DVD's on Seasons 1 & 2. I became totally addicted. And I learned that although the show promotes behavior I don't agree with, there are valuable moments and lessons and I can relate to something about each woman on the show. I begged to borrow the others, and I watched up to season 5 last summer. Rebecca gave me the last one a few days ago and we watched it last night during the freezing rain we were getting. I was so touched and moved by the last episode. I'm sure I'm like the last Sex and the City fan to watch this episode but let me just say it was worth the wait. Everything worked out as it should have and it was completely believable.
Charlotte: Found Harry (who grew on me) and got her baby. This touched me because we want to adopt from Asia too and when they got the photo of their baby, I cried. (Even James was teary-eyed).
Miranda: Sceptical, Cynical Miranda has the husband, house, kid and a dog and the process of aquiring these was completely believable. When Magda watched her bathe Steve's ill mother, I cried again. She has grown so much as a person.
Samantha: She looked fabulous even through the cancer. I loved the various wigs. When Smith came back and her flowers were blooming, symbolizing the changing of the seasons, and then they made love and he told her he loved her--aaaah!--tears again!
Carrie: What can I say? She ended up with Big (although I would've been just as happy if it were Aidan, if he wasn't married), and most importantly, she went back to NYC to her apartment, friends, and column .
Now when are they making the movie?

I'm glad you were open-minded enough to watch them. A lady I work with is SO condescending and was telling me how sinful it was. I wanted to slap her. Ha! That kind of attitude only turns non-Christians away, in my opinion. Anyway, I'm so sad SATC is over. Who's your fav.? I love Charlotte. She's awesome and totally my clothing/style role model.
Now, do you watch Desperate Housewives? It's kind of like a lighter, more soap-opera-ish Sex and the City. I've also heard Nip/Tuck is the man's SATC, but I will warn you that some of those topics may be offensive. I enjoy the entertainment and I also love to be aware of things going on in our society- even if (especially if) I don't agree with them. Why not make an educated opinion? That's the only valid opinion in my mind. :)
PS. The actresses are all saying no movie now, but I'm hoping they change their mind!
