SATC2 was released this week on DVD and it might just be the gayest movie ever—mostly because the word "gay" was uttered 16 times within the first 10 minutes of the film alone.

"Sometimes I even think, why do you do something so stupid!" says Yuko Nagashima, who speaks Carrie's lines in the Japanese-dubbed version of Sex and the City.

You know what? We're just going to keep going with this SATC2 thing. Because it combines sex, shoes, and pink cocktails, and those are the only things we ladyfolk can talk about! Today, however, we'll stop the hate.

Recently, Ms. Bradshaw traveled to the Emirates for a glamorous vacation with a few pals. Here, she recounts her thoughts about her time in Abu Dhabi.
