Sex and the City redux

Just had a nice IM chat with friend in Europe. He read parts of my blog and the following conversation ensued:

Friend: I just saw sarah jessica parker’s pics…

Me: haha

F: I doubt you have written smth nice about her

Me: You doubt well

F: i think the series has given her more fame than she deserves
Me: I write about the series a bit later

F: I always wonder whether women do realise that is very brainwashing!

Me: No!

F: Women here in europe, young women, love the show

Me: Not there too. Why?

F: because it’s so unrealistic, it’s like a dream world

Me: Unfortunatelly it’s partly realistic here.

F: They are describing their problems, while drinking coktails and going out every night, wearing fancy clothes, and buying 1 pair of shoes every day. And women here who love this, are students, or too young to actually afford such a lifestyle

Me: Yea well, there are women like that here believe it or not, but they just don’t dress that crazy or sound that fake. But they do sleep around and drink all the time.

F: I’ll tell you, a girl that thinks like you about this, doesn’t happen very often
-10 of my friends (girls) went together to watch the movie at the cinema
-that is worse than a brainwashing religious doctrine

To cap off this lovely revealing chat, I present you with a couple of videos about the show. The first is a parody by Mad TV, and the second an interview of Model/Actress Lauren Hutton about SATC, the movie:

Thank you friend for the interesting exchange.
