You Can’t Stop Rock N’ Roll: 35 Articles on Rock Music

Posted on June 17, 2010 Written by ripitup

This is the list of all the posts about rock and rockers I have published online so far. The musicians featured includes but is not limited to Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Metallica, Alice Cooper, Poison, Kiss, White Lion and more.

: Twisted Sister, You Can’t Stop Rock N Roll. Image via: Image from: img.maniadb.com

You can’t stop rocknroll is the title song of the Twisted Sister album You can’t stop rocknroll. Having been an avid rock fan since I was 11, I always loved songs that celebrated my favorite music genre ever. As you grow up, you grow more flexible with music preferences. You can feel more relaxed about genres and that you wouldn’t be caught dead listening to ten years ago. Still, the core remains the same and it is rock n roll. Since it is a way of expression and celebrating life, parties and good fun (you guessed right, I am not exactly a Nirvana fan), I wanted to collect all my rock related posts under one roof post.

The nature of the article varies: Some include videos, lyrics and info, some list fun facts from the colorful world of musicians.

Coupling starring Jack Davenport, Sarah Alexander, Ben Miles, Richard Coyle, Kate Isitt and Gina Bellman

Posted on June 13, 2010 Written by ripitup

Coupling starring Jack Davenport, Sarah Alexander, Ben Miles, Richard Coyle, Kate Isitt and Gina Bellman. 2000. Characters: On the bed are Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport). Staring, from left: Jane (Gina Bellman), Sally (Kate Isitt), Jeff (Richard Coyle) and Patrick (Ben Miles). Image from: http://i26.tinypic.com/2u6ec60.jpg

Now, all I have to say is that there are only three mistakes ever made about this show:
1) This brilliant sitcom, like many UK TV series, has too few episodes.6 -9 episodes? Are you kidding me? I keep coming back to watch the show again and again and all episodes through 3 seasons are downright hilarious. Too bad they didn’t shoot more.

2) The 4^th season was a mistake. I am sorry, but taking Jeff (Richard Coyle) from Coupling? What were they taking. Think what could have happened if Matthew Perry a.k.a Chandler from Friends left. And put another actor as another character into the mix. Yep, it simply would suck.

3) Remaking this show? Are you nuts? Remaking shows a decade later is one thing. Remaking a British show in The USA, just failed. It might have worked for The Office. I didn’t like the original and I didn’t care for the American version. But Coupling? That show is very British yet very universal. Still, it is impossible to recreate the comic chemistry and timing with other actors.

Coupling has actually a very simple premise. 3 women, 3 men. They have all dated or will date one another at some point. While the everlasting and the more sensible couple remains to be Susan and Steve, the conversations and events will have you crying out of laughter.

Because with coupling, romance takes a very backseat to comedy. It is about sex, relationships and the eccentricities of these 6 characters. While Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport) have less quirks, Jane (Gina Bellman), Sally (Kate Isitt), Jeff (Richard Coyle) and Patrick (Ben Miles) provide enough weirdness to make your day. And don’t even think Susan and Steve are any less hilarious.

What’s so special about these characters? Well, it is the script and the acting- but let me start with Jeff. I suspect that he is probably almost everyone’s favorite character. Any sane girl would want to date Steve. But Jeff is…entirely in a league of his own when it comes to advice, views and philosophies on dating. I’ll provide you with some of the Jeffisms. The show’s fans will have a great time remembering and others might realize they should watch this show at once. If you think Jeff’s not funny, you really don’t need to read the rest. Of course plain writing won’t do Richard Coyle any justice, but will give you a rough idea.

“Unflushable”: Season 1, Episode 1 (These are terms coined by Jeff, not episode titles)

Jeff: (on Steve not being able to break up with girlfriend Jane): Steve..Do you know what I call this type of woman? You know, the one you can’t get rid of?

Steve: Is this going to be tasteless? Am I going to be ashamed to be your friend?

Jeff: It’s a technical term. A harmless expression.

Steve: Alright. Hit me.

Jeff: Unflushable.

Steve: Turn around and walk away, Jeff.

*The Zone: Season 1 Episode 1

Steve (on how Jane “made” him have sex with her): She just leans over, looks me in the eyes and says “I’m wearing stockings.”

Jeff: No!

Steve: She had never worn them before. Not once in the entire relationship. I’d begged!

Jeff: But, Steve, you are entitled to her stockings!

Steve: Am I?

Jeff: Yes! You’re still in the zone!

Steve: The what?

Jeff: The boyfriend zone! This is the telling off period. You still have a lot of stuff in her flat, you might still have a wedding to go to together and you’re under joint headings in your friends’ address books?

Steve: That means I’m entitled to see her underwear?

Jeff: If it comes up! That’s the rules of the zone. Good luck in there.

Steve: You are a strange and disturbing man, Jeff.

Jeff: Thank you.

* The Sock Gap: Season 1, Episode 2

Jeff: OK. Have you thought through your foreplay yet?

Steve: What do you mean foreplay?

Jeff: What do you think I mean? I mean when exactly do you take your socks off? My advice is to get them off right after your shoes and before your trousers..That’s the sock gap! Miss it, and suddenly you are a naked man in socks! No self-respecting woman will ever let a naked man in socks do the squealchy with her!

Patrick: That’s your foreplay tip? Socks?

Jeff: Many men have fallen through the sock gap, Patrick!

*The Reason for celebrity marriages: Season 1, Episode 2:

On thinking about somebody else during sex…

Susan: Is it absolutely necessary to think about somebody else?

Jeff: I mean everybody does. That’s why there are so many celebrity marriages. If you fantazise about somebody else during sex and so does your partner, and those two people you are fantasizing about happen to meet while you are still doing it, they are bound to sense something, aren’t they? They are connectiong on like a virtual plane. So can you imagine what it was like when Posh first met Beckham? They were the epic center of a non-stop, nationwide virtual shag there! There is no wonder she got pregnant!

****

That’s Jeff for you. Oh, his gems are endless. The other are funny in different and original ways.

Jane loves creating stories about how she is a bisexual even when she is not, especially when she wants to excite a guy. She is very “unflushable”, persistant and downright weird. She is sort of attractive too, so her romantic life does get action, even though almost all her actions are mentally questionable. Sally is a beautician and loves youth. She freaks out at the idea of unnecessary smiles causing wrinkles on her skin, so she only smiles to single men, for instance.

Patrick thinks he is godsend to women. Even thought I can’t see what is particularly attractive about him, he is the one with many conquests. It is like Joey in Friends or Barney in How I Met Your Mother. It just works in the context of the story. And Steve…As cute as he is and comparably very normal and sweet compared to Jeff, he also has a tendency to freak out a lot, at the weirdest instances. And while Susan is normally the sexy, independent, sexually active woman every man dreams about, things change a bit when she is in a relationship. But then a relationship, especially a serious one, gets the best of almost anyone…

Sex and The City had a fairly female audience. In Coupling, you get the best jokes about sex, weirdest and most original dialogues about dating (thanks to the writers and Jeff), funny situations, physical comedy and more. The area that it is superior to Sex and The City is that it is purely funny with no drama involved and it includes lots of reality for both men and women. Like when Sally overhears Jeff trying to give Steve advice on foreplay, she is taken aback. She asks “Do they know about that”. And of course, they don’t…What Jeff means is that Steve shouldn’t be late to take his socks off and that he should call -whoever he fantasizes about sex- Susan. So there won’t be hell to pay if he says another girl’s name… Now, these two shows are very different in format and genre and I wouldn’t give up on either. But it is nice to have such a hilarious yet truthful sitcom on relationships where you can sit with friends of both sexes and laugh together…

Sex and The City The Movie (2008) starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Catrall and Kristin Davis

Posted on June 11, 2010 Written by ripitup

Sex and The City movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Catrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. Image: thecia.com.au

I saw this really bad review on IMDB. I had already seen the movie and enjoyed it so the review realy caught me off guard. Sure, you don’t have to like the movie but this viewer had given it the lowest score possible, called it thrash and named the characters selfish, self-absorbed, superficial and so on. My first question was: Was this viewer a male? While I have some male friends who liked Sex and The City as TV series, the majority of the show’s audience is female. After all, the show is about 4 girls’ sexapades, friendships and romantic experiences while they hang out at New York’s poshest places and spend a fortune on their clothes. Now, while the show may not be a deep one and can’t relate to all women, it sure as hell appealed to strong, independent career women who were like these 4 or who just wanted to be like them. So I wondered if the viewer had seen this really original and daring show at all.

Talking about a strictly movie perspective, I may not have exactly fallen in love with the movie. 4 characters’ love lives, occasional work trouble and their friendships is not every screenwriter’s dream script. However, I am not just a girl who stumbled on this movie. I am a fan of the show who loved and watched all 6 seasons of the shows and identified at least some characteristics of the characters.

If you are interested in the back story or trivia, you can visit the show’s profile page. Here I will tell where each character ended up:

*Sex and The City is originally a best-selling book written by Candace Bushnell. The show tells the story of Samantha (Kim Catrall)- a totally promiscuous, sexually adventurous man-eater who is also a successful career women running her PR company. She has no limits or reservations. And while she couldn’t have cared less about family, kids and other traditional expectations, she eventually fell in love with young actor Smith (Jason Lewis).

* Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is every feminist’s and cynic’s nightmare: She dreamed of the big white dress, the fairy-tale wedding and the perfect husband. And while most women could understand her romantic fantasies, even her best friends were amazed as Charlotte left her art career to stay at home and work at a family. They were even more fazed when she changed her religion because the love of her life (Harry- played by Evan Handler) said he couldn’t marry a non-Jew. So she changed it and married Harry. And since they couldn’t have children,they adopted a Chinese baby.

* Successful, and cynical lawyer Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) finally married her on and off boyfriend and the father of her baby/bartender Steve (David Eigenberg). And even if it killed her to leave Manhattan, she moved to Brooklyn so that her kid could grow up in a nice house with a garden instead of a small apartment.

*And the show’s leading character/narrator/writer of her own newspaper column Sex and The City/author of bestselling books/ shoe-addict Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) finally married the love of her live John, a.k.a Big (Chris Noth). After a very turbulent love affair that took many levels and forms, trials of friendships and break-ups, Carrie and Big finally got together for good.

Carrie and Big decide to move in together and buy the dream house. They even decide to take it to the next level and get married. Her career is also on the rise as she is working on her third book. It is time to say good-bye to her flat and plan a wedding. As Charlotte “lends” Carrie her friend/wedding planner, Carrie get carried away with all the glamorous ideas. And to Big’s concern, she wants him as involved and excited as she is. However Big is older than Carrie’s 40 years and he has been married twice before. And nothing would make him happier than just to go to the city hall to get married.

Samantha has moved in with Smith (Jason Lewis). He has finally got the fame and the career he craved for so Samantha has moved to Los Angeles with him, also working as his PR manager. And while Smith is gorgeous, thoughtful and nice, his primary concern is to make his career successful and permanent. And Samantha is homesick. Big time. She misses New York, her regular hang-outs with her three best-friends and she is missing the good old days when she wasn’t in a relationship. It doesn’t help that Smith is away a lot and her next-door neighbor is a hunk whose sex life sees as much action as Samantha’s used to have.

Charlotte is still blissfully happy with her husband, adopted daughter Lily and beautiful little dogs. In fact she is so happy and her life is so perfect, it’s scaring her.

Miranda’s world comes crashing down when Steve admits that he has cheated on Miranda. She doesn’t care that it has happened only once. She doesn’t forgive Steve and taking their kid Brady, she moves back to New York.

Carrie’s life comes chrashing down when Big leaves her alone right before the altar. Even though he tries to make up for it, this disappointment is too much for Carrie. So the story follows as the girls try to balance their lives with trying to get Carrie back to life. Can she handle being without Big? Can Big survive without Carrie? Can Miranda ever forgive Steve? Can Samantha ever get used to living in L.A?

As I said, if you look at the screenplay alone and not the TV show, the story might seem like plain and ordinary that happens to be set in glorious settings. However, for a lot of fans of the show, the movie gives more time with the characters that we never wanted to say goodbye to in the first place. We wanted to see if a-happily-ever after was possible for Carrie and Big. It was fun watching Samantha as she turned into a ticking bomb, trying to keep her sexual appetite under control. It also took years for Steve to make Miranda to believe in love, them as a couple and in him as an individual. Miranda screwed up many more times than Steve did during the course of the show. For the first time, Steve screwed up big time. And Charlotte still is as tuned to her friends’ lives and problems as always.

The magic of the show lied in New York, Carrie’s wardrobe, her weekly columns, the adventures of tall/dark/handsome charm of Big, the perfect one-liners and much more. Sure, Carrie spends more money on shoes than any woman should (I mean $500/a pair? Seriously!) and she probably loves Loui Vitton or Manola Blahnik as much she loves Big…Charlotte is way too traditional and family-oriented. And Samantha? As much as girls do tend to talk about their sex lives in detail, I am not sure how many women go as explicit and vulgar as Samantha.

But these characters worked. The chemistry was good, the jokes were good. The situations were all too familiar among most modern single women, not just New Yorkers. The supporting cast did a marvelous job and the shown was like a really cool fashion statement. I am a week away from seeing the second installment. And I am looking forward to it. Remember,Sex and City has three lead roles: The 4 girls,sex and New York. And we love that combination.

Sex and The City starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Catrall, Cynthia Nixon & Kristin Davis

Posted on April 9, 2010 Written by ripitup

With the 2nd movie on the way and me being a fan of the series, It was time I wrote about this glamorous, sexy and hilarious (and sometimes emotional) TV show.

Sex and The City featuring Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Catrall. Photo: http://static.tvguide.com/

The series centers on 4 women in their 30s-maybe with Samantha being a little older: Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte. Set in New York, we witness the romantic (and sometimes not so romantic) adventures of them.

Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City — Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw. Photo from: http://static.blogo.it/blogapuntate/i-personaggi-di-sex-and-the-city-carrie-bradshaw

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker): Carrie is a sex/relationships columnist. She is well-paid but she lives in a studio apartment. The money is spent on her clothes/shoes addiction, her busy social life and cabs. She loves dating and her column is inspired by her and her 3 best friends’ love lives. She likes having fun, but deep down, she is up for a meaningful relationship. And no matter how many men come and go, the man who makes the “biggest” impression is Mr. Big (Chris Noth). He appears in a variety of episodes throughout all seasons. Wait, I’ll come back to that guy.

Kim Cattrall plays Samantha Jones in Sex and The City — Kim Cattrall plays Samantha Jones. Photo: http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/kim-kim-cattrall-257571_813_1024.jpg

Samantha Jones (Kim Catrall): Samantha is a hot, successful businesswoman with her own PR agency. Among these 4 women, she is the one who loves and has sex the most. There are no boundaries, rules or shame. She once defined herself as a try-sexual, meaning that she will try anything once, including threesomes, sleeping with a woman and more. She has fun and is proud of her conquests. She is never shy about talking anything either. Although all her 3 best friends in the show talk about sex and relationships, they often feel like that Samantha should try to censor herself.

Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes in Sex and The City. Photo: http://anthonygeorge.files.wordpress.com

Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon): Miranda is a successful lawyer and she refuses to be optimistic when it comes to men. She is a cynic and she is proud of it. She has her heartbreaks, disappointments and occasional outrage just like Carrie or Charlotte. There are some big crushes, too. And although she loves having a healthy and busy sex life, her total number of bed partners can not be compared to Samantha’s. At least Miranda can count.

Kristin Davis plays Charlotte York in Sex and The City. Photo: http://www.damnimcute.com/wp-content

Charlotte York (Kristin Davis): Charlotte is- hands down- the most romantic, conventional, and traditional of them all. She works at a prestigious art gallery but she has no trouble imagining herself to be a stay-at-home mother and be supported by her husband. Ever since the show has started, she dreams of finding the right man, getting married and having babies. She is most often embarrassed or outraged by Samantha’s comments on sex. However as the show progresses, she lets go of her inhibitions a bit. But the traditionalist in her never dies.

THE GAY BESTFRIEND:

Sarah Jessica Parker and Willie Garson in Sex and The City. Photo: http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs

Every city gal should have at least one, right? Stanford (Willie Garson) is Carrie’s. He is openly and proudly gay. He offers some great advice, provides a lot of fun to the show. He is also the reason Carrie met Aidan (see below). So yes, we like Stanford.

The Men:

CARRIE’S

Surely men come and go throughout all seasons and we don’t hear about most of them again.But some leave their marks, just like Big (Chris Noth-as I mentioned earlier). Here are the men who get to stay-for at least during 1 or 2 seasons.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth in Sex and The City — Carrie and Big. Photo: http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080212/Sex-In-The-City-Parker_l.jpg

Big (Chris Noth): We are not revealed Big’s name until the very end, so I will keep refer to him as Big here. After all, Big is all we hear about for six years. Maybe telling you that he appears this much through out all seasons is a spoiler. But then again, he is both movies so it can’t have spoiled things that badly for you.

He is a lot of things most women want. Hell, he is a lot of things I want: Tall, dark, handsome, well-off and fun. However he is also a lot of things most women-including me- don’t want: He is a little elusive and has commitment issues. And he does have a tendency not to or hate it, he is one of the factors that make the show recognize a good thing (Carrie) even when it is right in front of him all the time. But love him interesting and a lot of fun. Plus, his character is proof that no matter how independent, successful and fun-loving a woman is, she might lose common sense all together when she is head over heels.

Sarah Jessica Parker and John Corbett in Sex and The City — Carrie and Aidan. http://popawesome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/carrie-aidan.jpg

Aidan Shaw (John Corbett): Carrie was crazy about him, but it didn’t stop her from messing things up big time. But fans loved Aidan and even if after an awful break-up season 3, he came back to the show in season 4. And how canyou not love Aidan? He is handsome and cute, tall, fun-loving, romantic,thoughtful…

John Corbett as Aidan Shaw in Sex and The City — Aidan with long hair. Season 3. So he's tall, well-built, sweet, has good taste in music and he is fun? I wish he appeared in all 6 seasons. But at least this show introduced John Corbett to me. Photo from: http://www.asikaramelek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/aidan.jpg

The guy was just perfection. Oh did I mention he likes rock? Yep, it is like I created this character. Even though I like Big’s charisma and his mischievous glint in the idea, for me Aidan was the one.

Mikhail Baryshnikov as Aleksandr Petrovsky in Sex and The City — Carrie with Aleksandr. Mikhail Baryshnikov played the charming Aleksandr perfectly. But, as alluring as an artist and Paris were, it is nothing compared to Big. Photo from: http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2008/01/31/

There are two other men who threatened to be significant in Carrie’s life: artist Aleksandr Petrovsky and Jack Berger (Ron Livingston). Aleksandr had the charm of the older guy and Berger just seemed to be perfect for Carrie. He was cute and he was a writer. However Berger committed some of the ultimate relationship sins. And well…it wasn’t either of these guys we had our fingers crossed to end up with our Carrie anyway.

Ron Livinston stars as Jack Berger in Sex and The City — Jack Burger really broke Carrie's heart. But no worries, he plays the ultimate nice guy in The Time Traveler's wife. Photo: http://images.askmen.com/galleries/men/ron-livingston/

SAMANTHA’S

You might want it hard to believe but even Samantha had two important men in her life. Two men that she went nuts for. Arguably, she was just too nuts for one of them and that kinda kept her reserved for the other one but hey, it is a big thing that Samantha did try relationships:

James Remar as Richard Wright in Sex and The City. He really charmed the pants off Samantha but pulled a lot of numbers too. Photo: http://i.cdn.hbo.com/assets/images/series/sex-and-the-city/

Richard Wright (James Remar): Rich, confident, charismatic and no intention of being a serious relationship ever, he seemed to be the perfect match for Samantha. And things would’ve gone smoothly if Samantha hadn’t fallen for him but hey, it happens to even the best of us. We fall for people we shouldn’t fall for. But hey, no worries, she does take care of herself anyhow.

Jason Lewis plays Smith Jerrord in Sex and The City — Smith Jerrod. He got to be an almost naked Absolut boy, rightly named Absolut Hunk. Photo: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r55/Audiofrog

Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis): Now, if you thought Aidan was too good to be true, it is because you never met Smith. He redefines the adjective gorgeous. Moreover, he is a nice guy. And he is exiciting. And he is loyal. And he is an aspiring actor. Well, he was so cool, obviously even Samatha couldn’t resist. And why should she? If she is going to be in a relationship, it might as well be with a guy who is way hotter than all the guys in the show combined.Go, Samantha.

Jason Lewis, Absolut Hunk, Sex and The City — This is the poster I am talking about. Wow. Just, wow! Photo:http://absolut.pinknet.cz/mix/

MIRANDA’S

David Eigenberg as Steve Brady in Sex and The City.Photo from:http://www.playbill.com/

Steve Brady ( David Eigenberg): We couldn’t have guessed that our workaholic, cynic and maybe a little neurotic lawyer would fall for a cute, relaxed and maybe not so mature bartender Steve but hey, one can never predict these things…It might have started as a fling but soon it becomes something Miranda never has planned. Summarizing the relationship would take a lot of time. So let’s just say they had lot of ups and downs.

CHARLOTTE’S

Kyle MacLachlan as Trey MacDougal in Sex and The City. He was one hilarious character. You can catch Kyle in Desperate Housewives. He has appeared in over 90 episodes. Photo: http://l.yimg.com/l/tv/us/img/site/

Trey MacDougal (Kyle MacLachlan): It all began like the fairy tale Charlotte had imagined it would be. A handsome gentlemen, old-fashioned where it mattered to her. But it wouldn’t help matters that he would have the mother from hell. Still, Charlotte tried really hard to make it work. But when push came to shove, she would need a divorce later.

Evan Handler and Kristin Davis in Sex and The City. Photo: http://www.melissacwalker.com/blog/

Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler): Details of Charlotte’s divorce are hilarious and you should watch those. But let’s say that without trying to divorce Trey, she would have never met Harry, the love of her life. While Harry is not an attractive guy, he is very nice. But there is no such thing as the perfect guy or the perfect relationship. Harry is Jewish and he makes it clear to Charlotte that he can’t marry a non-Jewish person. While this remark would have resulted in me kicking the guy’s ass, Charlotte is much more understanding and willing. So she converts. The lengths this woman will go to get that ring on her finger…Thankfully, Harry proves to be worth the trouble. Well, most of the time….

OTHER MEN WORTH MENTIONING:

Now, it is not about the romance but how I feel about these actors. It is always fun seeing them and well…let’s take a look:

Timothy Olypant in Sex and The City. Photo: http://upload.moldova.org/movie/actors

SAM- The 20 something guy

Well, who says we always need to date people our own age? So Carrie hooks up with Sam. What’s so special about Sam? Sam is played by none other than Timothy Olyphant! Oh ,yes. Yay to the casting directors!

The Bi Guy

Eddie Cahill in Sex and The City. Photo from: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/

Another 20 something guy that Carrie couldn’t resist. He might be hot, but there is a problem. He is bi. Now, it may not be a problem for everyone but our Carrie isn’t “modern” enough to digest that her lovely date has dated men. I hear you, Carrie. It is kind of weird. Now, this guy is played by Eddie Cahill. For avid Friends fans, Eddie plays Tag- Rachel’s hot assistant.

Last But Not Least:

Jon Bon Jovi appeared in Sex and The City — Jon Bon Jovi appeared on Sex and The City. The episode is called Games People Play. Yes, it is my one of my favorite episodes. Photo: http://woodenspears.com/

Photographer Seth

Not only this episode in season 2 is hilarious, the love interest/eye candy for Carrie is played by Jon Bon Jovi! Yep, despite being a good rocker, Jon is pretty OK as an actor as well. It makes perfect sense for Carrie to be attracted to him. Yes, as well as being writers, I seem to have some things in common with Carrie when it comes to men. Well, not that I bedded someone that hot yet. But hey, I am still young. There is time.

FUN GUEST APPEARANCES

* Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew McConaughey and Vince Vaughn.

Now, there are guys who actually enjoy watching Sex and The City. One of my close friends likes it and we have a blast watching it. But it is not for the conservative and it is not for the easily-spooked (men). Because these girls talk about anything and everything when it comes to sex. There just might be too much honesty and too many details for some people. Me? I absolutely love this show.

Of course it is not over with SATC. It never is. Hold on for the movie review and some fantastic quotes. There’s also the book review coming up: Review of Sex and the City Kiss and Tell.

suggestion: If you like Sex and The City, you might like Cougar Town, starring Courteney Cox. Much less “vulgar” than SATC but a lot more “open” than Friends. Give it a shot.
