Count Down to SATC2!

May 1st, 27 days!

So my latest idea is to watch a season a week of Sex and the City reflecting on where I was when I first saw the season and how it helped or hindered my life at the time…right up until the WORLD PREMIER of Sex and the City 2! Which I’m totally psyched about, not surprising!

The first day I decided to start with Sex and the City the Movie, released May 30th 2008. Gosh I was 24 and ready to PAR---TAY! The movie excited me so much and being that I was the “party planner” to all my friends AND having just moved back to Orlando. I planned a huge shindig in ATL where I would have all the girls (and of course my gay hubby) get together for a night of high fashion, cosmos and VIP! Complete with goody bags thanks to yours truly.

The night the movie premiered I was ready with premier ticket in hand; my fabulous Mom was my date. We got all dressed up and headed to the theater. As the movie began I was so enthralled. There were tears, laughs and lots and lots of mouthwatering fashion from start to finish. Everyday fashionista, fashion all the way to high fashion. I was all about it! Mom feared I was trying to be just like the girls in the movie, so did my boyfriend. I just thought ahhhhh to become the writer I’ve always wanted to be and own an apartment in the city, thus to visit whenever I wanted. Of course this way I also have a place to stay during book tours.

But, at 24 while I loved writing I also loved the nightlife and who wants to come home after a
night of gallivanting and write!? So writing was on the back burner and being in the know was right there on the front boiling over!

That weekend I traveled to ATL to celebrate with all my fabulous friends in “MY” city. Just seeing the skyline as I drive in absolutely takes my breath away. It’s the more surreal feeling to feel like you definitely belong somewhere, like you were meant to be there. The feeling never goes away when I’m in the city and only grows stronger.

We gathered and wore out best fashions and high high heels and headed out to Atlantic Station for an unforgettable night. Everyone loved the movie. Although I do remember one person saying it went on and on and some parts were not necessary. I thought which parts?! It all made sense to me!

The DVD came out so quick it was amazing…naturally I was in the store and buying it the day it came out. I couldn’t wait to watch the movie again and again.

Now, 2 years later with the sequel about to break out on the scene I am so far from where I was 2 years ago yet still yearning to be a writer, I’m going to watch and write to share my excitement and my passion for the best show ever created! I sit on my couch, baby boy in his crib fast asleep, merlot poured and ready I press play….

Its incredible how one movie can bring back so many memories! Not just from the premier but from all the times I have watched it.

Each time I notice something different that I missed the previous times. Each time the fashion in the movie just blows me away. My favorite Carrie outfits are the one in the beginning of the movie while apartment hunting with Big. The emerald green Vintage dress and coat paired with the Timmy Woods bag and Verdura bracelet. And the Veronique Branquinho dress she wears when discussing wedding plans with Big. Finally, her Emma Domb turquoise dress with the infamous Manolo Blahnik shoes and Vintage gold necklace (I’ve looked everywhere for a necklace like this one!) The other ladies fashion fit their characters like Manolo Blahniks fit Carrie Bradshaw. Miranda with her sexy business attire yet a little tom boyish looks. Charlotte obviously keeps her Park Ave Mommy like rap. I love her Oscar de la Renta dress paired with Dior shoes and H.Stern earrings for her baby shower. And Samantha, oh Samantha. She really plays on her new LA life still keeping her New York swag. I LOVE IT!

I have to say, I really thought Big and Carrie were finished. But I guess movies such as this were made for chicks like me!

Stay tuned….I start with Season 1 tomorrow!
