The shoes! The hair! The clothes! (and did I mention the shoes?)
Obviously the fashion/hair/bags of the Sex and The City movie were more than noteworthy (I am still drooling over those royal blue Manolo’s). But more blogworthy?
The fashion (or lack thereof) of SATC moviegoers all weekend long.
From the metallic pumps to the teased out hair (yes apparently, some girls still do that) Girls, and a few boys, armed with their favorite girls and favorite bag were decked out in their Carrie Bradshaw best. Girls waited in line for four hours, in four inch stilletto’s (my feet hurt just thinking about it) for the long awaited glimpse of their favorite HBO gal pals.
Now don’t get me wrong, I too wish my closet was outfitted with Carrie’s Louboutins or Charlotte’s Chanel collection– but on a hot, humid Saturday afternoon- answer me this: Why are you wearing a black minidress, red lipstick and clip-in hair extensions to sit in a cold dark theater?
It seems like a waste of a perfectly good outfit to me (not to mention quite an uncomfortable ensemble for a popcorn stuffing feast). But to everyone else at the shows before and after me, throwing on their best SATC look alike outfit was the thing to do. In fact, the chick in front of me was reapplying her eyeliner as the lights were going down in the theater… I do not make this stuff up.
But even though I looked like a shlumpadinka compared to the girls all around me, I couldn’t deny my overwhelming feeling of excitement for the movie. I can’t remember the last time I saw a completely sold out show or the last time I clapped when a movie began and ended! Cheesy? Of course. But who says cheesy can’t be fun?
Here is a brilliant video showing just how crazed SATC fans were to get the first peak inside the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte five years later. Talk about the best place to pick up girls.
Maybe I should try that for the next Indiana Jones showing. Heeeeeeey fellas! [Photo courtesy of LATimesblog]
