Oh shoot me with a pun gun!
I saw The Sex and The City Movie last night and well, I enjoyed it. Having said that, I hadn't been expecting any Oscar worthy story-lines or riveting acting- I was just there for pure aesthetic-pleasure purposes.
The outfits however, were nice but not sigh-laden-envy-inducing, unless you count ONE Vivienne Westwood gift to Carrie [I shan't say more, for I shan't spoil it incase anyone who reads this is planning on watching it]. Oh and the belts- there will be a lot of belts and as someone who usually shies away from belts [I just can't manage to do them right] , I managed to make a sort of style cheat-sheet for when I do get adventurous enough [belts are my kryptonite].
It should be noted here...the poor construction of this dress is attributed solely to it being my own creation! Yikes!

I give the movie 3.5 stars [which means nothing...even to me...because I will probably watch it again to look at the pretty clothes again.]...I did note a few things that I am just dying to blog about and I promise...NO SPOILERS...
Note 1: I wish Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker would get Botox. I know, I KNOW, more power to them for growing old gracefully, blah blah, but it's just a big turn off when the leading lady has the same hands my 72 year old neighbour does...is there even such a thing as Botox for hands? OH EM GEE, IN 10-15+ YEARS THERE BETTER BE...CAUSE I DON'T WANT OLD LADY HANDS...ARGH...Anyone have any "keep your hand-skin young" beauty tips? Please share.

Note 2: Miranda must have always been clandestinely annoying and managed to escape under the radar, mainly because I've always been too occupied with the Carrie-Big story....but she ticked me off massively in the movie. YOU ARE SO THE UNNECESSARY-CLING-ON-MOPEY-DOPEY-EYEORE [WINNIE THE POOH'S EMO BUD] FRIEND... ONLY, YOU ARE UNATTRACTIVE AND DRESS STUPID.
Note 3: You can see boom-mic in a scene or two...
Note 4: Carrie's assistant was so very tokenistic.
Note 5: EverY girl/woman who walked out of the theater/cinema almost had a visible thought bubble above their heads...like, "I'm SO Carrie"...
Note 6: I'm pretty sure I was the only American there who has lived in NYC [and found love in NY...for keeps].
Note 7: This made me feel pretty smug like, "I'm ACTUALLY SO Carrie. Ha! Minus the old lady hands/skin."
Note 8: Next to Carrie...Charlotte not only has the best life but the best wardrobe too...I would post pics but, too many spoilers. Oh! Poughkeepsie.
Note 9: I need to start making a "Take", "Store" and "Toss" pile of my clothes.
And there you have it...this is what I came away with...
I hope you all do watch the movie [even if it's on DVD...though, not pirated...stealing is bad] and tell me what YOU thought. I leave you now with...
What I wore: [the poor quality is attributed to no time and no lighting.]

LOL. I love the post. I have been waiting to see the movie for precisely the same reasons, actually.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for no spoilers. I get really annoyed by bloggers who post all the fun twists from a much-awaited flick, and watch smugly from behind their keyboards as the rest of us go aarrrgghh!!!
LOVE YOUR DRESS!!
ReplyDeletei want to see satc too! & yeah, i heard about those boom mics.. wow, how lame but w/e.
& your NOTE 9... i sooo need to do that; my room is a mess because my clothes are just everywhere. i don't know what to keep or throw & if i throw i might regret it later!
Nice dress. I do think how it's funny every woman wants to be Carrie when clearly they are not...I guess if our lives were that movie none of us want to settle for "best friend to the star."
ReplyDeletei love that dress!!
ReplyDeletestorywise.. it was so so. .but the clothes...
ReplyDeletei think the best about watching it was watching it with my favorite girls! My friends!
