Just when I could not be more excited about a new Sex and the City movie coming out... then they release a new trailer... with....
Aidan Shaw. Eeeeek! So excited. Although the realistic part of me is not because Carrie is now married to Big.. however I was always an Aidan fan. Can NOT wait.
While at the movies on Friday night having a date night with my hubs while seeing Date Night (yes date night watching Date Night, har har... movie was funny, not over-the-top hilarious but the credits confirmed my earlier opinion that Tiny Fey is comedic genius), I had an epiphany while watching the SATC2 trailer. As I watched the trailer I got so very excited, gasping for breath and squeezing my man's hand while he gives me this "seriously are you kidding me? get a life" look as I gazed upon the Prada, Proenza, and Marchesa... the cocktails and the stilettos... the BFFness and the Abu Dhabi jetsetting... and it came to me: this is like women's crack. Their addiction. These are (most) women's weaknesses. This is what we, as women, could get dysfunctionally obsessed with. Fashion we could never even afford (I can't really even afford to walk into most of those stores - I mean shoot I get eyeballed at most of the stores at the Galleria, looking goooo-rgeous at 50 years old, exotic luxurious vacations we will never go on (Fun Jet discount vaca anyone?), parties you get to dress up for, like, every weekend, money coming out the wazoo from who-knows-where, gorgeous men everywhere and friends that you share your life with like you are "soulmates". Clothes. Cocktail Parties. Beauty. Travel. Money. Closer-than-life friends. Yeah. Sounds too good to be true. Yes, that because it is. That is why women, oh honey me included, become so engrossed in SATC. It is the (fictional) life we will never have. So although I so terribly wish I could have a crazy fun ladies night with all my girls and go see this flick... and a tear will still come to my eye remninscing watching the SATC tv seasons with my roomies on 811 in college.. I am trying to stay in reality that SATC isn't reality. Its fun to watch and enjoy, but don't become consumed with it.
That is my preaching to the choir post. I dont even know if it made sense? Maybe its because I got screamed at all day at work by students, their parents and my administration all in one day. I am kinda fried. :P

Shhhhhh - you are RUINING my SATC addiction! Now, get on a freakin' plane and come see me so we can watch this together - THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE! Hello - we're turning 29 this year - there are reasons to celebrate and THIS is just the thing we need. =)
How was my pep talk? And yes I know that look you mention Ryan giving you...I think Marc looks at me like that on a daily basis about something. =)
