Sex and the City Review: "Idolizing Four Sluts"

I guess I should say right off the top that I didn't actually see the movie. But even if I wanted to, I couldn't have because all three shows were sold out last night. My husband and I went to see Iron Man with Robert Downey, Jr., Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges. (If you want to read my review of THAT movie, go to Boomerworld.

I was never a fan of the HBO Series. I may have seen an episode or two but it didn't appeal to me. Maybe it was because I couldn't identify with who the characters were and what they were all about.

Anyway, as my husband and I were leaving our movie, we saw a line out the door for the next showing of Sex and The City. There were young girls standing anxiously to get inside the theater. (Yes, there were actually two young men in the line as well). What was surprising to me was the way they were dressed. Many of them wore sexy and revealing outfits with spiked heels. I thought that was rather odd but then I overheard a woman, about my age, walking in front of us commenting to her husband on the attire. She thought it was crazy that those young girls were so into the characters that they chose to dress like them. She said, "How sad that they would want to idolize four sluts."

I think I have to agree with that.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!
I was beginning to think it was just me?? lol

For as long as this show has been on air, I've avoided like the plague. A night over at a friend's home left me with no choice ONCE, and once only.
Like you, I just don't relate..in fact, it annoys me to think this is something young women aspire to be? It's all about material possessions, and sex!
Sorry, give me something I can seriously laugh with, a show that just might, have a point!
The amount of media hype and attention has me gagging!!

Where's the likes of the gang from 'Seinfeld' when you need them???
