(Charlotte, Carrie, Samantha and Mairanda)

I had a very long weekend last week cos of Labour Day, and the long weekend was extended even further cos I fell sick. So I had Sat till Wed off. Not that I was complaining, cos I got to just stay home and do nothing. And since the marking had not come in yet, I dug out the Sex and the City DVD set which Angela loaned to me (It had all 6 seasons), and started watching it.

I know Sex and the City is so passe, but hey, it wasn't shown in Singapore, and I never got around to watching it on cable. I mean, all my friends in Australia were addicted to it and swore by it, and I never understood the addiction. I just knew the show is about 4 single women, who went around having sex.I didn't really find it that fascinating.

But since I had nothing better to do with my time, and I had the dvd set anyway, I decided to watch Season 1. Season 1 had 12 episodes. By the 1st episode, I was hooked. It is just amazing! It's funny, and witty, and sexy, and intelligent. And the conversations the women have are just hilarious. Reminds me of the conversations I actually have with my gfs! The whole series is about 4 single and very successful women in their 30a, who have achieved much with their lives professionally but score a big, fat zero in the man department. Hmmm...sounds familiar, anyone? So we've got Carrie, a newspaper columnist who writes a sex column, and she is in a perennial on-off relationship with this man who is commitment-phobic. She is idealistic and wants to be with a man she loves without compromising on herself. Then we have Miranda who is a successful lawyer, and is totally jaded with men in general. There's Charlotte who runs an art gallery and is a romantic at heart. She enters each relationship fearlessly, and hopes for the best, despite the countless failed relationships. And we also have Samantha, who....well, Samantha just has a lot of sex with men. She believes men are made for sex and the word 'commitment' does not exist in her vocab.

The show is just a barrel of laughs, but amidst the laughter, and lots of sex, there lies a lot of issues which gets me thinking at times. Like for example, how much are we willing to compromise for men? Or are relationships one big fat game that we have to play well? Very very interesting. :) And of course, another reason why I love the show is because of the .........CLOTHES AND SHOES that they wear!!!!!!!!! OMG! It is to die for, I swear!Carrie has the bext wardrobe! I just love her dresses, and tops, and her shoes!!! Love, love, love the fashion they put out in the show. Amazing!

I finished the entire Seasons 1 and 2. Im going to make sure I finish my exam marking by this weekend so I can spend next week watching the rest of the seasons! YAY! :)
