Five For Friday: Last Woman Standing


Hat created by the same designers who made the emperor's new clothes.

According to the Facebook, I am the only woman in the entire world who is not dying of excitement because of today's "Sex In The City" film release. Here are five reasons why I am not chomping at the bit over the sexy skeletons who brought us cosmos, Manolos and some White hoes.

5)I Am Afraid


Samantha, 2008

This show represented both my biggest wishes (having a bunch of money to spend on silly looking clothes, drinking, getting great sex from time to time, having great girlfriends and living in New York....almost got the list down) and my BIGGEST FEAR- being over 40 and single and childless. I know these women enjoyed this 'life' they had for themselves, minus the brunette, but I would die if I were 50 years old like them and still chasing ass. I'm not sure how old they were supposed to be, but three of em looked 45 on episode one and that was 10 years ago....if all these women aren't married and mommies by now, then they have FAILED*! I don't think that is what happens in the movie, so I am a'scared.


4) I'm Still Mad At Them


This shit right here? UNFORGIVABLE! How many reminders do I need that an ugly 50-year-old lesbian is more appealing to Black men than a Black woman?

3)I Don't Get Excited About Most Anything Any Damn Way

Gimme this.

It takes a lot to get my panties in a bunch. Holler at me when there is another Digable Planets reunion or when R. Kelly gets sodomized for the first time in jail.

2)I Blame Them For Everybody Calling Purses "Bags"

ANY QUESTIONS????

And finally....

1) I Have Only Seen It Like 5, 6 Times Tops


Child abuse.

We didn't have premium channels at the crib until I went of to college (BOGUS, right?), so I didn't really see the show until it had been on for years and most of the episodes I saw were in syndication. All the fashion was dated and the excitement was never there for me. When I finally saw it, I was like "Eh". It's cool, but not exactly earth shattering.


All that said, I'll probably see it....eventually? I'm interested, especially in J.Hud's performance. She needs this role to be a hit as bad as I need one of these right now (not right now, I mean RIGHT NOW).

I'd rather be HAVING sex in the city anyway. I'm just saying.

*-JUST KIDDING! I know that having a marriage and a baby do not measure the value of a woman's life. Well, for my personal life, they do. But not every woman's.

Then again sweetie... The Millenials (Generation Y) is not really the target market for SATC...

When it started airing, the oldest of Gen Y was 13 years...

So, it's ok not to be stocked... I, for one, will be at the premiere!

You aren't the last woman standing. I never had a love affair with the show and thought they were all a bunch of old dried of broads! I too share the notion that their situation(s) equal my worst life fear. Looking old, dressed ridiculously, and trying to pretend that it's all good. Having said all that, I will be going with a group of ladies tonight. But I'm only going for the pre and post drinks!

Regarding Jennifer, check out this review: http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/film_review.asp?ID=3695

A concern I've had about her casting for a minute now.

tis ok my sista, i've never been a big fan either... and numbers 2 and4, i couldn't agree more.

Marleaux said...

Girl yes, they are all old as heyell... Heard it was good though. And this came from a dude, and he was straight. I think...

But I'm not running to see it. Folks were on some Stars Wars stuff at the midnight shows. Waiting in line for hours to see this moving... Not I.

cosmos, manolos, and some white hoes = death. not only do you need your own column, but you need a record deal. stat.

Well, I am the targeted market for this show/movie and I have NO interest in the slightest to see this movie. The only time I watched the show is when I was a captive audience. Blech!

Me and my girl group went to see "Waiting to Exhale" when it came to theatres. I could relate to it a lot more than SATC. I am not white, I do not have countless dollars to spend on shoes, I do not have reckless sex. I do live in the city though...that's where the similarities end.

I don't think I have ever watched an entire episode so color me stupid. They always looked so desperate to appear happy for me, I could not buy it. I was lucky enough to work in some high end department stores in highschool and college so I could not appreciate their eye for fashion or style. I must really be tired!?
