[NYC GOP Chick]

...She thought she'd land a charming apartment like Carrie's, amass an enormous wardrobe and meet her own "Mr. Big" (though why she'd dream of meeting the equivalent of Carrie's maddeningly vague, elusive, on-off boyfriend is anyone's guess)...

"...I live in a postage stamp-sized hovel with two other girls, and we share one closet. My shoe fund goes to rent. I can't afford a $12 cosmopolitan - I don't even have air conditioning! Carrie's glitz is not an option, and it feels like a slap in the face..."

"...My image of New York was [formed by] what I saw on the show," says 23-year-old Noel Cutler, who is also from Pennsylvania. "It's one of the reasons I wanted to be a publicist..."

Are these airheads for real??? They really moved to NYC and made life-altering decisions based on a TV show?!

A good man?......he is good for a month.

A Great man? ......he is good for a year.

But Chocolate Cake is FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to move out of NYC after living there for 2 years. Loved the restaurants, shows and nightlife but despised the political climate. Moved to sunny South Florida where the nights are just as hot, conservatives run the state governments, and I can carry a gun without getting thrown in jail!

I still cannot believe anybody on the face of the earth can be this shallow.

This has to be the dumbest show I've ever seen.

During school I spent several Thanksgivings with my aunt and uncle here. So I knew the score wrt apartments and expenses before I ever moved here.

But if these girls really came to New York because of a TV show, no wonder they're disappointed. "Well, I can't afford an apartment like Carrie's yet, but in the meantime I'll settle for one like Monica's on Friends". Bwahaha!

I would hope that these females aren't real or at worst they had to really hunt to find these dim-bulbs.

The alternative is just too depressing.

It does have a certain Treadwellian air about it. At least they weren't devoured by a grizzly bear.
