SJP is not Carrie Bradshaw

New York Magazine had a very insightful interview on the beginnings and rise of Sarah Jessica Parker, from her very poor upbringing to now owning a stoop in the Big Apple, which to her is "heaven." This is a story that I never knew about her, but in my mind, really explains how she came to be both a dichotomy and the spirit of said Carrie Bradshaw, who while obsessed with the material objects in the fashion world, can still love a rich man not for his money, but because she truly loves him. Only SJP can pull that off and be likable and believable! There were also many comments from SJP lamenting the too-glitzy Manhattan taking over the idealized, gritty city of the past, as well as her showcasing the prim and proper Victorian ideals that she tries to apply to her real-life.

Gossip Girl mag update

An update to the New York mag cover I posted last night, here is the article in full if you want to read it. Frankly, I think they are trying too hard to make "Gossip Girl" sound relevant and influential, when the show has barely exited its first season. Comparisons to "Sex and the City," "Beverly Hills, 90210," and the "O.C." are obvious, if not trite, but as much as I love the show, I think it's too soon to say if "GG" will be the success it's attempting to be. Still, a nice article that tries to provide access to some of the personalities.

OMFG! Gossip Girl is returning!

I'm so excited, "Gossip Girl" is finally coming back. To celebrate their return, New York magazine just graced their cover with the cast dressed in barely anything, calling them the Best. Show. Ever. I need to get that issue!


It's been awhile since the show aired, but the promos have been promising more scandal then ever. They've been getting a lot of criticism for the latest campaign, an image of two lovers in the throes of passion. While all that is well and good, I can't wait to see what the ladies will be wearing. There is nothing more satisfying than a night of high fashion. :)
