Yes, I used to love TV’s Sex And The City (SATC).  I realized early on that Carrie was a narcissistic, hedonistic, co-dependent woman who obsessed about sex, shoes and the man (Big) who was wrong for her.

I couldn’t really relate to Carrie, but I did find her entertaining.  I also admired her undying loyalty to her three friends.

Do-Or-Die Female Friendships – Do They Really Exist?

While I personally admired how Carrie valued her friendships, sadly I have rarely experienced the same type of do-or-die friendships – with other females – in my own lifetime.  Even my own baby sister is a classic fair weather friend only popping up in my life during her latest emotional crisis or positioning for gifts for her three kids whom I barely know.

In fact, my guy sweetly volunteered to accompany me to Part 2 of the SATC movie saga after my own “friend” bailed on our years long date to see the second SATC movie together.

My galpal and I saw the original SATC1 flick together.  It was a lovely girlfriends-only treat complete with after the movie lunch and lots of delicious gossip.  We vowed at that time to see SATC2 together.

Sadly, she bailed on our “date” just days before the premiere.  I was heartbroken, but kept a stiff upper red stained lip and decided to go alone, until my sweet guy offered to go with me, even though he knew it was a classic chick flick.

Jenna Elfman who is best known for her role as Dharma of TV’s odd couple – Dharma and Greg – is back with a sitcom that reminds me a little bit of the popular film Knocked Up starring Katherine Heigl.

The premise behind Knocked Up was that a beautiful blonde TV reporter has a one night stand with a younger irresponsible young man and she gets pregnant.  When the young man finds out the beautiful blonde TV reporter is pregnant, he decides to stick around and be with her during the pregnancy.

The new sitcom is called Accidentally On Purpose and Jenna plays Billie, a film critic in San Francisco who has a brief fling with a younger man and winds up pregnant.  Of course everyone knows that an older woman who has a thing with a younger man is known as a cougar.

Yes, you read that correctly. In the opening weekend the Sex And The City girls rocked the box office coming at 55 Million+. All right! Woman Power rules.

Ironically, the $$$$ even blew away all the expectations of the film’s producers who were hoping for 30 Million.

Spoiler Alert – If you haven’t seem the movie yet…you may not want to read any futher…although I promise to try and keep any spoiler to a minimum.

Yes, I was there. One of the hordes of women sprinkled with a few men, who showed up for the very first showing of the SATC movie. The first time available was 10:15 and there I was waiting patiently in line to buy my ticket at 10:00 am sharp.

By 10:10 I was in the very packed theater (Friday at 10:00 am and the theater is packed? Can you only imagine as the day goes on what the crowds will be like?) waiting patiently for sooooooo many previews to finish playing.
