Believe it or not, I missed the first season of \u00a0Sex and the City on HBO<\/a>. \u00a0I was living in New York and I guess I was so busy living my own version of Sex and the City that I was completely oblivious to the show. \u00a0My friend Portia, who was living in Detroit at the time, convinced me to start watching the show. \u00a0I watched the re-runs in the off-season, got caught up and became a devotee. \u00a0I remember exactly where I was when I watched the final episode. The loose ends were tied up and although I was sad that the series was over, I was elated that Carrie and Big, a.k.a. John, finally ended up together.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t you know that as soon as I found something else to occupy my time on Sunday evenings, rumors of a movie sprouted. \u00a0I was excited, but afraid to get my hopes up for fear of being disappointed. \u00a0 Nevertheless, I, \u00a0like many of you, went to see Sex and the City -The Movie<\/a> on opening day. I went with my friends Karla and Adrienne. \u00a0We’d ordered our tickets in advance, but we weren’t prepared for the line at the theater. Our lack of planning meant that we were scattered throughout the theater sitting next to strangers. \u00a0Own my own, I laughed, I cried and emphathsized with Carrie just like I did when watching Sex and the City at home on Sunday evenings. \u00a0For the record, I LOVED the movie! \u00a0The movie came out on a Friday and the three of us went back on Sunday to see it (although the theater was packed, we got there early enough to get 3 seats together). \u00a0More laughter, tears and empathy. \u00a0My friends and I related to the movie on a variety of levels. \u00a0I know there’s a cohort of women who were disappointed in the movie’s story line, but being about the same age as the characters in the movie, the realistic portrayal of the complexities of relationships rang true for us.<\/p>\n

Carrie got BIG on terms that worked for them. \u00a0Charlotte took off her rose colored glasses and still found happiness. Samantha came back to reclaim herself and her city. \u00a0And even Miranda began seize the day, slow down and smell the roses. Perfect ending. \u00a0And then about a year ago, I heard a rumor that Sex and the City 2 was filming around the city. \u00a0Then, the billboards with SJP in that fabulous white Halston Heritage<\/a> dress were plastered all over the city. And now the count down is on . . . Sex and the City 2 opens in about 6 weeks on Thursday, June 3rd. \u00a0Be there or be square! Gather your posse and get ready to be lulled back into that wonderful concrete jungle where dreams are made of . . .<\/p>\n
