Manolo shoes, which evidently are the rage...
SJP is only about 5'4, which probably is short in comparison to other actresses.

Theyskens is unethical indeed and it’s difficult to understand why he would deceive. Though the dress is magnificent, the glow is gone.
Maybe that was the point. Merow! Hiss!

I have one pair of stilletoes which I’ve never worn. (And I didn’t pay $400 for them!) I just like having them available if/when I ever decide to take them out on their “maiden voyage”.
It’s terribly annoying how many people out there have no idea what the core of this show is about. SATC is one of my guilty girly shows, and I have no shame in admitting that.
It’s about 4 ladies’ enduring friendship- their successes, mistakes, agonies and celebrations.
It’s also fun and fluffy, and if ANYONE out there thinks that people live like that, well then it it YOU who needs a reality check.
um... McDreamy left her (almost) on the altar.... not exactly happily ever after, eh?
That's what I've heard the series was about. But the movie was not about that. It's about where you end up, and the friendships ultimately end up looking like nothing but a crutch to keep you up so you can get what really matters.
So true Silvie.
Being over 40 makes me have the urge to tell anyone to go “f-— off” at anytime. Why? Because I'm over 40!
Amazingly true.
I’m even getting sick & tired of seeing people at my local grocery store, Walmart, Target, etc. I can’t stand it....
Am I getting old & grumpy?
Yes.............Me too!
I know I'm getting old because I tell my Teen to “lower the stereo” and to “stop laughing so loud”. LOL
I have one pair of 4-inch heels, which I bought with the tags still on them for $1.50 at the local Salvation Army. Although, to be honest, I couldn’t see myself wearing them much of anywhere... I have some black flip-flops with fancy bead stuff on them that work fine with formal wear.
so.... what really matters? (in the sense of the movie)
As I recall, Rachel’s family cut her off when she walked out of her wedding to the dentist.
I was referring to the big trip to London, but I can’t recall any other places. I thought they took ski trips and other various sitcom location changes.
Well, in the end, for three out of four, it’s your man that matters. Getting him. Keeping him. And I’m not against this, I’m just saying it’s hardly revolutionary to show women liking pretty clothes and hanging out with their friends in their free time. Call it whatever you want, but don’t pretend it’s new.
Well that was a real bargain! I may wear mine the next time I go see the film—I’ve got free tickets, so why not dress up and go? I hear that NYC women are going dressed to the nines and getting their pictures taken at the theater. What a phenomenon!
Ah, but if you’ve seen the film there is a “happily”.
Moving out of menopause gave me a new set of stones (not literally). I love leaving the emotional baggage behind me.
Chandler had some mid-level office job (we never get to know exactly what).
Joey of course, was a struggling soap star, but he could have been making decent money.
Ross of course, was a Harvard Ph.D paleoanthropologist at the New York Museum of Natural History. So he was pretty well covered.
Monica was a chef. I never followed closely enough to keep up with how well she rose in her profession. But she was a “professional.”
We’ve already discussed Rachel.
Phoebe is the big question. A struggling folk singer?
My all-time favorite example of the character-with-no-obvious-means-of-support would be Mickey Rourke’s Henry Chinaski in the 1987 movie “Barfly.” The no-sweat, happy-go-lucky skid-row character penned by alcoholic cult writer Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994) was a self-portrait but in it we never see how the carefree Henry made the rent on his fleabag apartment, paid his bar tab, and kept from starving, and why the two female leads would find him worth brawling over.
This was driven home to me by the acclaimed 2003 biopic documentary on Bukowski “Born Into This” wherein we have clips of the author bemoaning his hungry, drifting years working menial jobs (dishwasher, potato-chip factory hand, stock-boy, etc.) banging only the ugliest of women who would do a loser like himself, and especially his fourteen years as a postal clerk at the L.A. Post Office. It was only when he was in his forties that he began to achieve sufficient fame with his poetry and short stories to be able to quit his day job and get it on with groupies.
How about this quote: I am a spiritual being having a human experience.
I’m curious as to why we’re not able to add taglines to this thread so we can find it quickly. Do you happen to know? Thanks.
