The day’s finally here and beau and I have our Fandango tickets already purchased for the 2:30 showing in downtown Brooklyn.
How lucky am I to have a guy that not only watches all six seasons of SATC—and the first movie—with me in preparation for the second coming out and helps me sneak in a batch of homemade cosmopolitans, but also even takes the afternoon off from work with me to see Sex and the City 2 in the theaters so I can live blog it for this site on the first day it’s out?!? Love.
Now, as a disclamier, let me just say that my expectations are not high. The reviews have been terrible and, let’s face it, New York is one of the necessary elements of the SATC fantasy for me and taking the cast to Abu Dhabi just won’t cut it… I already know that. Also, wardrobe stylist Patricia Field lost a bit of her touch in the first movie, going more for head-to-toe designer than the clever mix that made the series’ fashions, though amplified, relatively believable. And really, let’s be honest, I’m 75% percent in it for the clothes!
So stay tuned, my pets, and keep your fingers crossed that there’ll be iPhone reception in the theater so I can actually do this thing! God knows, I’m ready for it…
2:14: On the bus, cosmos wrapped in a sweatshirt tucked in my Dior. Praying it doesn’t get confiscated and that there is reception in the theater. Looking forward to seeing my four faux friends again…
I thought I had reception but I don’t. So I think I’ll take notes and publish as soon as I get home. Bummer. BTW, Twilight Eclipse trailer!
It’s on! Alicia Keys…
Yay! Carrie looks amazing. No, scratch that–now it’s the 80s. We finally find out how they all met!
They’re at Bergdorf’s–my favorite place in NYC–shopping for Stanford and Anthony’s wedding!
Big! In a tux! Carrie! In a tux!
The wedding is crazy–like a set from a 30s muscial. Carrie’s hat is awful. Of course. Oh, and there’s Liza!
Liza Single Ladies as bad as expected… but I like that people in the theater are clapping!
Now we’re finding out what the problems are: Charlotte and Harry’s daughter is driving them crazy, Miranda’s boss hates her, and Carrie and Big are getting pressure for kids. Do you think these things will come up again? We shall see…
“There Big and I were. Somewhere between wild sex and a baby.”
And now Samantha’s issue: Menopause.
Charlotte has a braless nanny. Funny what a stir it’s causing after Carrie got splashed, braless, in the credits every episode…
Apartment envy! Carrie and Big have the perfect place! Want!
Yay! Smith’s back!
Carrie has her old apartment? And uses it as an office? Oh, crazy rich people!
The girls are going to Abu Dhabi!
Carrie is wearing the newsprint Dior dress she wore when she went to surprise Natasha at lunch after the Big divorce.
SJP and Madonna have the same too skinny face. Just a few pounds more and she’d look so much younger!
Miranda just said “Abu Dhabi Do.” I have a sneaking suspicion there’s a lot more Middle Eastern wordplay coming our way…
Charlotte is going by York (as opposed to her Jewish married name) because “it’s the Middle East.” On that note, is anyone else surprised Carrie took Bigs last name?
OMFG. Aidan.
“Bedoin Bath & Beyond”? Groan. On another note, I want to ride a camel. Oh, and now they made a cameltoe joke. Of course.
Carrie is out with Aidan dressed very un-Middle Eastern. Meow.
Miranda and Charlotte are bitching about motherhood. Oh, now they’re toasting to mothers without help. And I find it condescending… But women in the theater are cheering.
OMFG. Aidan and Carrie kiss! HOT kiss.
Wow. It just hit me how old they all are! Samantha is in a turban and looks like Joan Crawford. And there’s sweet potato on her face.
Carrie told Big about the kiss. And he’s not happy.
Now they’ve gotten kicked out of the hotel because Samantha was arrested for kissing.
The ladies are wearing burkas… It reminded me immediately of Brain in disguise in Inspector Gadget.
Carrie and Big: “It’s going to be just us two–are we enough?” “Baby–we’re too much.” Swoon.
The End. Or is it?
