Most people over the age of 45 can remember where they were and what they were doing when
President Kennedy was shot. Most people under the age of 45 can remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard that
Kurt Cobain had killed himself.
But if you're female and single, the moment your most likely to latch onto was the first time you ever watched HBO's landmark show
Sex and the City.
Me? I was stuck at home in blizzard with two feet of snow outside my door. A friend urged me to rent the series and, despite my initial resistance, I did.
The rest, as they say, is herstory. From that first episode I was hooked on the clothes, the actors, and especially that ridiculous way Carrie Bradshaw managed to include the phrase, "And I had to wonder,
blah, blah, blah" in every single episode narration.
The good news is that now you can relive all of the magic with The Complete
Sex and the City collection, neatly packaged in a bright pink box -- pink, you know, for girls. Girls who, like me, have an easier time remembering the season in which Miranda got knocked up by Steve (Season Four) than which year President Kennedy was shot.
Was it 1962? Or was it 1963?
The elaborate Vivienne Westwood wedding dress Sarah Jessica Parker sported in the "Sex and the City" movie didn't bring Carrie Bradshaw any luck but that hasn't stopped women from wanting it. Now, for two days only Gabriella Risatti, owner of Gabriella New York bridal salon in the Meatpacking District of New York City is making reproductions of the dress for $15,000 tomorrow and Thursday only. Risatti tells the NY Post that they will be taking measurements for those two days but only making 30 dresses.
