Sex And The City Lingerie: I'm Just Not That Into It

Jennifer — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:30:00 EDT

A not-so-shocking prediction: Sex and the City: The Movie is going to be as much (if not more) about shilling expensive shit as it is about sex. In addition to the myriad of product placement opportunities it affords mainstream marketers, the film has inspired a new collection of Cosabella lingerie said to be designed around each one of the HBO series' main characters. Thing is, I see no connection between the creations and the SATC ladies; in fact, of all of them, the "Samantha" collection is the most sophisticated and tasteful of the bunch. After the jump, let's get stupid and play the "which SATC character are you" game with a batch of undergarments!

Carrie
They say: "Carrie is carefree and fabulous with a truly romantic take on love and life. The eclectic Carrie Collection features floral print with animal print trim... [It] mixes hip, downtown style with vintage appeal. You can even pair it with your favorite jeans."

L to R: Carrie Collection, Betty Low Rise Thong, $36; Carrie Collection, Betty Bustier, $162.00; Carrie Collection, Betty Push-Up Bra, $86

I say: Does "carefree", "fabulous", and "romantic" mean "tacky", "cheap", and "downright mismatched"? Also, is anyone else amused that this line is the most expensive of the bunch?

Samantha
They Say: "The Samantha Collection is très sexy & unapologetically racy (just like its namesake). Featuring French Chantilly lace in a fabulously bold, expressive color, this bra is not one to be ignored."

L to R: Samantha Collection, Pearl Underwire Bra, $76; Samantha Collection, Pearl Garter Belt, $55; Samantha Collection, Pearl Low Rise Thong, $33

I say: "Racy"? Maybe to a nun. This collection is the only classy and sophisticated one of the bunch. (Unrelated: why does the Samantha bra cost $10 less than the Carrie bra?)

Charlotte
They Say: "Über feminine, the Charlotte Collection features eco-friendly bamboo fiber. Charlotte is all about classic elegance. She always wears a perfectly chic ensemble that incorporates her style, beauty and quiet confidence."

L to R: Charlotte Collection, Bamboo Camisole, $80; Charlotte Collection, Bamboo Long Pants, $100; Charlotte Collection, Bamboo Low Rise Thong, $22

I say: This stuff looks like it came straight off the racks at K-Mart. Charlotte York MacDougal Goldenblatt probably doesn't even know what a K-Mart is.

Miranda
They Say: "The cosmopolitan Miranda Collection includes this bold, color block bra with lace trim. Feeling like a confident, independent woman? You're probably a 'Miranda.'"

L to R: Miranda Collection, Rosangel Low Rise Hotpants, $50; Miranda Collection, Rosangel Molded Bra, $62

I say: Why does Miranda get fewer items than the other ladies in this collection?. Also: of course they put her in a boy short. Of course.

Anna Nicole's son, Daniel, stole Methadone from his mother a few months before he died from a Methadone overdose. At an inquest into Daniel's death today in the Bahamas, Anna's baby daddy Larry Birkhead testified that he saw Daniel stealing the Methadone on surveillance tapes. Daniel died from a combination of Methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro. • Here's a first look at Britney on the set of How I Met Your Mother. Brit's cameo as a receptionist in a dermatologist's office airs on Monday, March 24. • Oh my, does Kristin Davis have a sex tape?? (Link NSFW) Those photos are potentially Photoshopped, but if they are real, they could successfully break her good-girl "Charlotte" image. She'll never be typecast again!

Kristin "Charlotte York Goldenblatt" Davis in the Sunday Times of London: "[U]nlike Charlotte, you will not see me sipping cocktails with fabulous men in fabulous boîtes, then going home with them. I'm not saying I don't date. But my life is not Sex and the City — and, if it was, how sad would that be?" Our sentiments exactly. [Times of London]

From the mailbag: looks like Sex and the...

From the mailbag: looks like Sex and the City casting directors are trolling for a pair of suitably adorable brats on the internets to portray Charlotte's baby. You get $130 per kid, so get ready to whore those tots out before they're even speaking! The babies, of course, will probably be Jewish, probably to Ann Coulter's everlasting chagrin. Unless they're boys, that is. [Craigslist]
