36 Straight Hours Of Sex (And The City)
Hour Four: I just sent an inappropriately flirtatious email in response to a totally banal work-related question. What's next, having sex with my bra on? (Answer: no).

Editor's note: Remember how I said I was going to watch every episode of 'Sex and the City' between April 1 and the May 23 premiere of the film? Well, for reasons of time, energy, and impending marriage, I didn't do it. What I did do, however, is pawn the task off on someone else: Emily Gould, Jezebel contributor and coiner of my favorite 'SATC'-related phrase, "Scary Sadshaws". Between today and Thursday, Emily will be watching all 94 episodes of the HBO series — that's 36 hours' worth! — and report back with her findings. A stunt? Yes. Insane? Probably. Wish her luck.
Last night, Anna and I were sitting in a chic little winebar in Queens sipping adorably-pink glasses of rosé when she announced that she had a present for me. The present was pink, too! And it came in a case made of sensuous faux-suede!

"I had to come up with some kind of action, by which I could follow some philosophy about the movie... There had to be a logic behind the way they looked, because those girls are a part of everyone's living room, and they will check it out, detail for detail...The show was very good for fashion. And the designers love to see their clothes on Sarah Jessica, who is a super-model." Oh
Patricia Field. The way you continue to insist on there being any reality to
Carrie Bradshaw's fashion choices and the sheer
importance of it all is really, quite endearing. [

Question: Is
Sex and the City in on the joke? According to
WWD, in the upcoming film version of the HBO series,
Carrie Bradshaw questions her assistant (played by
Jennifer Hudson) about just how she affords a slew of designer accessories on an assistant's salary. [
I'd like to see the assistant ask the same thing of Carrie 'I'm a writer in New York' Bradshaw. -Ed.] The assistant's answer? The bag-renting website
Bag, Borrow, or Steal.
Our answer?
Sex and the City is
not in on the joke — it's just found another way to
land a corporate sponsor! And clearly,
striking some strategic branding deals with fashion designers in exchange for costuming credits
wasn't good enough.

Ok, so some gays sat next to
Sarah Jessica Parker and
her gays at a restaurant in New York the other day during lunch time. They
learned the following things:
- SJP does not wear Bitten (her Steve & Barry's line) or Covet (her new fragrance).
- SJP "never forgive what she [Kim Cattrall] did." Also, everyone on the cast of SaTC hates Cattrall. Also, SJP took KC to lunch in an attempt to make things less awkward between them. It only sorta worked.
- SJP hates Jessica Seinfeld, even though they, like, both vacation in the Hamptons and shit. SJP thinks Jessica is a social climber. No shit.
- SJP does not hate Meryl Streep's daughter, actress Mamie Gummer, even though Gummer cornered SJP hubby Matthew Broderick at a party and pulled an "OMG-I-love-Carrie-Bradshaw-SOOOOOO-much!" which both M. Brod and SJP think is like a totally annoying thing to have done to them. But because she's Streep Spawn, it's all good.
The end. You may now go back to contemplating just how monumental the opening of the
Sex and the City movie is going to be and how our lives will never be the same afterwards.

Next spring's
Sex and the City movie has a big-girl budget, a built-in audience of young women often found flitting about lower Park Avenue and, of course, lots of ridiculous clothes. The funny thing about all those clothes, however, is while many of them were no doubt requested by costume designer/
fun drunk lesbian Patricia Field, just as many were conveniently "
placed into the film by PR firms and fashion labels themselves, with just a
wee bit of cash changing hands between the fashion houses and the film's producers! Reports the
Daily Mail:
Major brands and designers around the world spent months jockeying for prominent placement on this high-profile movie runway. Money was offered, calls made, favours called in and publicists begged to get their brands on the backs of this glamorous quartet of women.

The following are outrageously precious things
said by those involved in the
Sex and the City movie about the
Sex and the City movie:
That sort of wanton lust, it's just not at the surface of their skin anymore. What's important to me is that Carrie isn't frivolous and silly, that there is sophistication to her. She's making a serious attempt at making grown-up decisions about love and about life choices

Sarah Jessica Parker 32-year-olds go out and get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men in bars downtown. And 42-year-old girls maybe don't. Today they're out in front of the library getting married. That would've never happened in the 32-year-old New York.
