Sex and The City

I finally made it to the movie. I'm a great fan of the series and I'm truly glad the movie is finally out. In a way it puts a nice ribbon on the box of 6 seasons of endless love, joy, sorrow, incredible fashion, and yes, fabulous over the top incredulous sex. The fashion - unbelievable. The girls - incredible, solid decades of true girlfriend-ship. The sex - not a lot (maybe some censoring). The bodies - well, for girls and boys in the 40s, the bodies are great. Here's one movie I truly felt connected with, because the issues the girls face are so true of women, so true to life, and yes, materialistic, emotional, irrational. A.K.A --> Women. Men won't understand it (as I see so many guys at the theatre dutifully there to accompany their gfs), but women love it.

But what is most relevant is how many parts of Carrie & Big's relationship mirrors mine. Nearly 8 yrs and going. People ask constantly so when is the big W? Taking it a step forward maybe doesn't mean anything. Or maybe it does. Should it? What truly is, is that its just about 2 of us - him and me. Just as the movie showed, relationships are hard work. We must constantly strive for it. And I'm grateful for mine. And just as proud of C for accompanying me to this movie.
