First I must admit: I am a late bloomer when it comes to SITC. I discovered it after I relocated from New Orleans after the hurricane. I needed something to watch other than the torture the news reported about my home town. After renting the first season I found my stress washing away by watching four friends talk about my favorite things: fashion, love and FUN. I was able to recount days in my city when I experienced some of the same things the SITC crew were going through. Needless to say I was going back to blockbuster every week to follow up on the four friends who unknowly added me to their powerful bond : love of each other and their city!

It's the characters I love ~ each of the women is written so well that they feel like real friends with real problems. I think the strength of the show is in showing each of them dealing with life as it comes at them…Charlotte's infertility, Sam's cancer, Miranda's unplanned pregnancy, Carrie's love life (!)…I'll bet every one of us knows someone who had to deal with these problems in their lives. Heck, some of US even have had to! So, while the show is pretty and the fashions awesome, I watched it for the girls. Long live the girls!

I am a die hard SATC ask any friend/family member of mine. Why?
1. Friendships -after turning 30 a lot my friends had moved further and further away. While some still lived in the city,being single & fabulous, many moved to the suburbs, where housing is affordable and reared their family. Back in highschool, I was always surrounded by my girlfriends and we were always there to make each other laugh and share a good cry. Now , we live by email or cellphone call. The girls of SATC have that bond that I truly miss and I live through them. Remember the episode when Carrie moved to France with Alexandar Petrovsky? The empty feeling roaming the city by herself without her girls- well that is now me.
2. OMG! the fashion. I'm not going to lie that I love/lust looking at the clothing, the shoes, the accessories, the bags and the SHOES!!! Someday, I vow to own a pair of the mary jane manolo blahnik in patent black. And I will definitely post it here with me wearing them. Manhattan is the epi-center of fashion and seeing the girls wear these awesome clothes, I really think we live vicariously through them.
3. The girls' characters- each of us may find a little bit of carrie, charlotte, miranda, or samantha. Each character is extremely unique and super funny.
I seriously went through a tv drought when the series ended. But when I heard about SATC – THE MOVIE in production, my thought was, let's just say FABULOUS!
If you haven't seen the movie yet. Let's just say "HANGISI" may have you running to manolo blahnik in NYC on June 9.

I didn't start watching SATC until the final season was over. I was helping my friend move and she had it On Demand and I fell in love. I immediately went out and rented every season! Those woman are all so strong it's a total inspiration! They are all just following their dreams and conquering them! They are what I hope to be some day!

I love SATC because it is "in your face and to the point". It portrays women in real situations, what they really think, what they want to do, how they suffer, how they enjoy life, etc. It shows the importance if friendship- no matter what. And with the movie- it proved in the end…you always have your friends.

To tell you the truth they are just so funny! daring, wild and even nasty but oh how they crack me up. I also like the clothes

Why do I love Sex and the City? Well, because it is FABulous! Nothing is better than watching four women being completely honest with one another while dressing in brilliant attire.

My favorite thing about SATC is getting together with my friends to watch. I also love the fact that SATC focused on relationship issues that we all can relate too! We saw the movie opening day and then proceeded to spend the rest of the evening with cosmos and champagne!
June 03, 2008 at 11:41 pm, Sarah said:
I love Sex and the City because me and my friends watch it religiously and we have all identified ourselves with the characters (I'm Samantha:). Plus it gives us a chance to relax and drink cosmos together!

Last night my girlfriends got dressed up, drank cosmopolitans and walked to the local theater to watch the new SATC movie! I'm just getting over a really hard break up and it was the perfect night out with my girls. SATC always highlights problems that real women go through… and of course, the shoes!!

Hello,
This contest is an awesome idea, for the revival of an awesome story!! I can't wait to see the movie, because i'm a HUGE fan. My favorite character is Samantha, because i tend to be a little crazy and open with my sexuality than most people. Before the great Samantha there weren't that many women on tv that were sexually strong and not portrayed as the typical "slut." Samantha is refined, intelligent, and beautiful the way she is!
But all the SATC characters rock big time, and the combination of personalities in the show are magical. The lessons on love, life and friendship are timeless!! Viva SATC!

I just saw the movie and I couldn't get enough…I like the fact that they portray four women with totally different views on life and how they except one another. They don't try to change one another and support each other through out the good and bad. They take each other into their lil adventures and crisis that are very real and try to grow, nor are they afraid to show their vulnerability to one another. That is true friendship with out censure and is a reflection of real friendships women create in a life time. I love these four characters their endearing and depict women in a positive light, it's empowerment ..but also showing the sacrifices we as women make to be financially independent or show that some times the fairy tale ending we hold on to some times doesn't turn out to be one…but you can cope & move on to a different chapter
in your life to something even better.
I love this series, the movie and SATC will and has become not only iconic
but legendary…10 years from now you can watch an episode and still relate…

I think that the dynamic of the four women make for a very balanced friendships.

simply put – the show is great because everyone can relate. Every girl has dated a "big",or a "steve" or an "aiden"… every gay man has fallen for the hot model or has had someone reject them on a blind date…… everyone struggles with their job and trying to find their "place" in the world….. It's about friendships – love – and life. And watching gives everyone a sense of comfort.

I love SATC! I love Samantha because she does who she wants when she wants and couldn't care less what anyone thinks. You go Sam!

SATC, to me, is a reminder of the good times with my girl friends. I have a group of 3 friends whom have been each other's support group for the past 20 years. I fondly remember our escapes and fashion sense through the neon 80s, the "Clueless" 90s, and today.
The 4 of us went to see the SATC movie this past Sat (ie opening weekend). It was amazing to look around the theater to see women of all ages coming together to celebrate FRIENDSHIP.
SATC celebrates that. Regardless of every hiccup or high in life, it's important to be able to share that with your close friends.

I love Sex and the City because it seems like there is a part of everyone in all of the characters. Not everyone is like Samantha and not everyone is like Carrie all of the time. But sometimes you just want everyone to be happy like Charlotte. Anyone can find some part of themselves in one or all of the characters on the show. The show is great because it is not only about sex but it goes beyond and discusses relationships and getting older and growing up. It deals with issue that everyone has or will have to deal with at some point in their lives. It teaches people to be true to themselves and not worry about what someone else might think. Also it teaches you to never give up on love and to go out into the world and find whatever it is that you are looking for. This show is great, the movie was great! My life is now complete because of SATC!

I really love Sex in the City because it really captures the fantasies of most women. Who wouldn't really like to have the afair with the rich boss man or the sexy firefighter you saw on the street. When I watch my collection of the episodes it is fun to imagine in diffrent scenes I am a character. My friends and I have actually played games with our personalaties to see which characters we are alike. We all used to gather at each others houses and watch the shows. It was great. Now once a year we have a sleepover and watch the episodes while the husbands watch the kids. But the show has really helped women not be so embarressed about their own sex lives. I think it helped liberate people from being so hush hush and that sex is not as taboo and people thought it once was. Way to go Sex and the City, counting the days till I see the movie this weekend.

What a great idea! My favorite things about SATC are the men and the clothes. They also have really great ideas about how to get things done!
Thank you for a chance to win!

I have never missed an episode of SATC. I loved the show because the girls were outrageously funny and I could relate to each one of them. I loved everything about the show. The plot was great and it was acted out by very talented actresses. I can't wait to see the movie.

The couture is what initially hooked me, but the great writing kept me coming back for more. That, and I adore Sarah Jessica Parker.

I love sex and the city. I go to a fashion school and my life revolves around fashion. I love labels and designers. For me sex and the city is fantasy adventure. And the sex is the icing on top of everything else. I love love love Sex and the City. I cant get enough of it.

It's cheap therapy that's full of great advice. Plus you get to live vicariously through the girls …seriously living in Brisbane you can only dream of the life they have…who stays out till 3am on a Tuesday!

Men and women alike are drawn to Sex and the City because it tells a story about four friends and their relationships, good or bad. I love Sex and the City because the story-lines are REAL and can be applied to everyday life. My addiction to the show is sooo bad — I purchased each of the DVD’s individually as they came out, then I also purchased the Hott Pink DVD Gift Set. I also special ordered the Manolo’s that Carrie (SJP) married big in for one of my close girlfriends. This show inspires me and everyone in my circle to be more fashion forward and giving.

The television version of "Sex in the City" really helped me put into perspective the Mr. Big I was dating. Watching how Carrie dealt with the evasiveness and the pain that he caused her helped me to find the strength to finally end my relationship. From the movie trailers it appears she finally marries her Mr. Big. I wonder…. I can't wait to see the movie.

I think that so many women are hooked on this show because we all have a part of Carrie, a part of Charlotte, a part of Miranda, and a part of Samantha all within us! I love this show..didnt miss an episode and never miss a rerun on TBS!!!! Love you girls..hope you continue to be close friends and make at least one more SATC movie!
June 02, 2008 at 2:49 am, Bethany said:
The reason SATC is so fabulous is simply because everything it entails. It has provided weekend long marathons for my best friends & I, it allows you to relate to everything they are going through such as sex, love, friendships, family, getting through your 30's+ with style, witt, smarts and simply being a woman. Not to mention its the most amazing show and MOVIE ever!!! I still DVR all the episodes.

I am the biggest fan of SATC in the world!! I live for it, breath it and think Carrie is the opitime of what we all strive for and want. Her clothes, hair and SHOES! are totally out of this world, I started my own collection of shoes now! She has the vulnerability we all have being young and out in the world scared. She has her friends that have daily dramas just as mine all have and we all try to help each other. The show gives us a highway to follow or avoid just by watching this show. Each lady has their flaws and strengths and as a viewer I know we all try to find those in ourselves and identify at different times with them, by seeing them in these situations, it makes us stronger and smarter in our own situations. I wish there were new episodes and many more movies!! I’m wearing my high heels to see this movie and I am a young, vibrant girl who will be strutting my stuff thanks to SATC and Carrie, of course!

I LOVE SATC BECAUSE EACH OF THESE CHARACTERS REMINDS ME OF MYSELF AND MY THREE BESTIES!! PLUS THE FASHION IS KA-RAZY! I KNOW I'M ON TOP OF MY SHOE GAME IF I CAN KEEP UP WITH SATC.

This movie touches people in one way or another. It's like Seinfeld combined with Grey's Anatomy. You really do laugh and cry in the same episode and feel like you still need more episodes. I hadn't seen this show and started renting the DVDs and watched all episodes in 2 1/2 days. I was sad when it was over…like I was losing my friends. I am so glad the movie is out now and I can share it with my husband…who is also now a big fan!
Thanks!

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie. I definitely related to and empathized with Carrie in regard to her relationship issues.

I love satc because it reminds me of all the good times with my friends. Although we are older now and cannot be together as often, when i watch an episode of satc it reminds me of how we always got together and watched it on hbo EVERY SEASON! no matter what!

I think that it renewed the idea that female friends are a necessity to get through everyday life. They each showed us a different personality that represents a small part of each of us. I LOVED the movie!!!

To put it simply- I love Sex and the City because it whole-heartedly makes me feel like a woman.
Sometimes I even question myself on my femininity, considering my general dislike for shopping and self-pampering. But after watching the film, some of those “love, life, friendship and more” questions were answered for me, as was the femininity question. Well, I’m certainly girly.. and I’m most definitely a woman. ;D I truly love Sex and the City!
I’m young, so I naturally have an enormous mind full of questions about love, life, friendship, and so much more! I can’t tell you how many times I teared-up during the show and especially during the movie, which I saw twice in one day.

I LOVE SATC BECAUSE IT GIVES WOMEN OUR OWN LITTLE GET AWAY. WITH ALL THE GLITZ AND GLAM…FASHION…MEN…AND SITUATIONS THAT EVERY GIRL CAN RELATE TO IN SOME WAY. I ALSO LOVE THE THEME SONG…(GIGGLES)

I totally LOVE sex in the city, I am such a Carrie .. with a tiny bit of Samantha mixed in. A wild child looking for someone to tame her.
I would LOVE this SITC gift bag.
June 01, 2008 at 10:00 am, Deidre said:
SATC is my life!! well minus the really expensive shoes and clothes.
but honestly, every heartbreak, every little piece of admiration, everything they go through i can relate to. and if i can't, maybe one of my three best friends can. The show is so much fun to watch; and even my guy friends get caught up in it.
Sex and the City is the only box DVD set that I have watched from beginning to end. (It took me a while of course, but I didn't really get into the show until season 4; so I had to go back and do my homework after it was all over.)

SATC had episodes on things we only ‘think’ about. I still watch the reruns as faithfully as I did each new episode.

I love Sex and the City because it relates to every woman's life, but has a surreal element, that makes you wish you were them. Their disparities with love, amicable friendships with each other, and love for fashion are things I can relate to, but I only wish I could appear in Vogue, go on luxurious vacations with my friends, and own a pair of Molonos. I love Sex and the City, because I wish to be like them, but in a weird way, I already am.
June 01, 2008 at 6:04 am, Sarah Won said:
Sex and the City is an amazing tale of every ordinary woman out there. Every watcher can relate to any of these women.
There's the fun and envious PR girl, the serious and stoic lawyer, the sensitive yet optimistic girly girl, and the fun and sexy practical journalist.
In the midst of all of the extreme fashion(materialistic things) and the hectic boys, the girls still remain to symbolize a unity of strong and very independent women. It also shows how by getting married, it doesn't make a woman any different or less weak. Upon this, Sex and the City greatly influence the meaning of true friendship and how in the end, single or taken, you will have friends there by your side<3
i love sex and the city =)

Why do I LOVE Sex in The City…Well the answer to that is easy, The HBO series has been apart of my life since 1998 to now and I must say it has helped me get through some difficult times. I've gotten advice on men, fashion, friendship, culture and most of all LOVE. The show is emotional, entertaining, funny, sexy, spontanous and intelligent. Along with many other women, I am ever so thankful that the cast and crew has put the time and effort into making a the best movie EVER! Thank you Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall…."MY GIRLS"!

I love SATC for many reasons. Like everyone else, I treasure the portrayal of the relationships between 4 very different women. I also love to see the fashions that I love, but am too shy (or poor) to wear/pull off. I like to reflect on the many ways that the women deal with their relationships with men (whenever someone breaks up with me, I am now able to comfort myself with the knowledge that at least it wasn't done on a post-it note!) and how they balance careers with personal lives. I love a good love story – the one between Carrie and Manhattan is so powerful, not to mention the ups and downs with Big (and Aiden, and Big, etc.). Finally, and most of all, I like that I can see a little of myself in each of the characters (or should I say a little of each of them in me) and like to reflect on what it would be like to have to deal with some of the situations each of the women is placed in…I have realized that depending on the situation I can be a Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha, and, when I'm feeling my most free spirited, a Carrie!

I love SATC because I can relate to the episodes and to the lifestyles. We (women) in general have experience many of the things these writers are just beginning to publicize for viewing pleasures. And its fun to watch. You can definite relate to what the character is going through and feeling. I have been there many times. The latest and greatest fashion is fabulous! Love it! Great combination. Characters are hillarious – the foot fetish -free show giving guy that Charlotte seems to encounter, Carrie and her love triangle, Samantha and that fabulous episode with the loud mouth hookers! Love it all! Hillarious and thrill seeking! The producers really do have a keen sense of what is going on in a young womans life. Their characters are so different that we all can relate to and understand how they get along. Its truly a woman’s show. It is very educational for those men and women wanting to know more about the mystery of sex. It gives women a sense of direction, increased esteem, self confidence and the courage to be bold in bed, in relationships and in life!! Kudos to the Producers & Writers who know how to package the complete women in all 4 of these beautiful ladies!! Great Show – hope it stays on the air for decades!!

I adore Sex and the City. The characters are both hilarious and touching. Samantha's bravado, Charlotte's innocence, Carrie's joi de vivre and Miranda's professional demeanor capture the variety of personalities that can be bound in friendships. The disagreements and the agreements to disagree are very much like those I experience with my long time friends…and who can ever deny a good foot fetish story!
May 31, 2008 at 3:07 pm, justice said:
First off, i too have a foot fetish like all the girls in the show, particularly Carrie. So we have that in common. I like the interesting and very different lives that each woman lives. I like the fact that i feel like I'm right there with Carrie during her heartbreaks and disappointments because they are so much like my own. I like that regardless, Carrie always has herself to run back to after any break-up or loss. She feels incomplete, but she's actually whole just being the awesome and interesting woman that she is, living in NYC–her real one true love.
That's why the show is great.
May 31, 2008 at 2:38 pm, Stephanie said:
I love Sex and the City because when you watch it, you feel like you’re not alone. If you’re feeling down or confused about relationships or friendships or even yourself, you can just watch the show and have the reassurance that you’re not the only person in the world feeling the way you do, (even if their characters are only fictional.)
It’s very comforting.
