Sex AND the City


I was never a fan of Sex and the City until I saw movie 1 a couple of years ago. In fact, until LAST NIGHT I thought the show was called Sex IN the City. I'm still getting my head around this misunderstanding.

This last week or so I have been on a Sex and the City binge, and I've commited to watching the whole epic saga. Although it can be lame and the characters are self absorbed I must admit that I am loving the shallow humour and human truths of it all. It's really quite genuis, the whole premise, not to mention incredibly entertaining to watch. My favourite thing about SATC: Carrie's internal monologues. LOVE.

Here are some great quotes from my current season - 2:

  • Carrie: "Miranda was a huge fan of the Yankees. I was a huge fan of being anywhere you could smoke and drink at two in the afternoon without judgment." - "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
  • Miranda: "How did it happen that four such smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends? It's like seventh grade with bank accounts." - "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
  • Miranda: "Whatever happened to aging gracefully?"
    Carrie: "It got old." - "The Freak Show"
  • Carrie: "You've never seen an uncircumsized one?"
    Charlotte: "I'm from Connecticut!" - "Old Dogs, New Dicks"
  • Carrie: "The gay straight man was a new strain of heterosexual male spawned in Manhattan as the result of overexposure to fashion, exotic cuisine, musical theatre and antique furniture." - "Evolution"
  • Carrie: "Sports night: every female's fantasy. A room full of captive heterosexual men all looking to be distracted during commercial breaks." - "Games People Play"
  • Samantha: "You're going to take the only person in your life that's there purely for sex, no strings attached and turn him into a human being? Why?" - "The F--- Buddy"
  • Samantha: "Here's what I think. Round up all the divorced men and keep them in a pound. That way, you get their whole history before you take one home." - "Shortcomings"
  • Carrie: "The Hampton's Jitney is just like the bus to summer camp. Only instead of singing songs, everyone ignores each other and talks on their cell phones." - "Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women"
Carrie's quotes to live by on shopping, fashion and shoes:
