Why I Aspire To Be Part Of Sex And The City

After binge watching, which, how can you not- you'll forever wish you were part of this lifestyle.

I write too much about Netflix and series and shows. But honestly, I should do it for a career, because it's practically a 9-5 job that I definitely am devoted to. (Only it's 11-11 between classes.)

But this makes me wonder, if you binge watch a series because it's so good, is it OK to binge watch it again just in case you missed any good moments? (Call me Carrie.)

"Sex and the City" is a friend group of four girls: blonde, red RED head, brunette, and dirty/sandy/blonde brunette. Samantha, a popular PR agent; Miranda, a successful lawyer; Charlotte, consultant for an art gallery; and the main character Carrie, a sex and relationship columnist for the news paper. They each go through dating, marriages, sex problems, money, and living in NYC. Does it get better?

(Special tip: there are most definitely graphic sexual scenes almost every season, mostly between the character Samantha and her latest squeeze. And provocative and sexual language, anytime you see the four main characters sitting for breakfast.)

It is a fantastic show. It's inappropriate enough, funny enough, and almost too relatable. I've said these things before, but I'll say it undeniably again: it's just perfect. It's enough romance and relationships, with a perfect balance of comedy and awkward, awful situations you hope never happen to you. And they're all adults. No children, no high schoolers. (Some college students when the main characters decide to cougar it out, I will admit.) It's just fantastic. And although they're usually older than the viewing group, they become relatable to all ages with dating, teenage years, and future advice for husbands and dating.

Each season comes with its own lesson for every girl. Mistakes as small as can be, and as large as you can imagine. Illnesses, accidental pregnancies, engagements called off, and marriages and future plans that just won't seem to happen. And they get through it all, with the help of their best friends at the end of every day.

Each character is different, and before you know it, you'll be deciding which one closely represents your friend group.


Samantha. Samantha is usually the favorite character, with something witty and sexual to always respond with. She would never judge a friend and seems to thoroughly enjoy the judgment she constantly receives from her close friends. She's confident, open with her sexuality, and never afraid to say what's on her mind or what she wants.

Charlotte. She's pristine, classy, fancy, and always put together. She's the only one always shown in scenes working out, dressed to perfection, discussing art, or shaming Samantha for her usage of pen*s and pu**y, and other vulgar terms at brunch and in public. She never discusses her sex life, and gets through every personal battle without quitting or negativity, and is always spewing the motivational soul-mate phrases you see on your aunt's Pinterest. Somewhat annoying to the over the top friend group in being so opposite- you still find yourself aspiring to be her as a grown woman.

Miranda. Miranda with fire red hair certainly has the personality to match. She has a lot of personal quirks that interfere with her relationships, but you find yourself agreeing with all of them at the end of the day. She is every woman's goal as an independent woman who defends her leadership and success at work each day and doesn't try to let men affect her as much as others.

Carrie. Carrie is the epitome of teen and mid-twenties dreams for the future. She has an amazing job that seems so fun, and makes you think you could become a writer simply because funny things happen to you once in a while. She's emotional when needed, expresses herself, and rocks every bad situation that happens to her. Including the WORST break up imaginable. And does everything in style.


This montage of episodes (AND TWO MOVIES) cannot express enough in writing, or so too much. So to end this article, here are some funny clips from the series.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
