Sex Bomb

The Between the Sheets team look forward to the forthcoming Sex and the City film.

Yes, it’s the one we’ve all been waiting for. Sex and the City: The Movie is released in the US at the end of May (that’s the 28th, for those of us who are counting the days). After six far-too-short years of the fabulous TV show, we’re in for a treat that has to be worth the wait – that’s its weight in Manolos, by the way.

At Between the Sheets we’re all getting very excited. So much so that we thought we’d share our Top 5 SATC moments with you, as well as some of our favourite all-time quotes. Post your views . . . we’d love to hear!

Oh, and don’t forget to check out the film’s VERY swanky website. For all the info you need: http://www.sexandthecitymovie.com

Our Top 5 SATC moments . . .

I always had a soft spot for Charlotte and Harry and especially loved their first attempts at living together – namely, Harry’s predilection for hanging about naked in the apartment (really hanging about). Poor lovely neat-freak Charlotte showed that relationships are all about compromise as she learnt to quite literally look the other way, and whip a napkin underneath him as he sat down on her pristine sofas. 

Well, it had to be when Big came to get Carrie in Paris at the end of season six. All together now: ‘Ahhhh’

There’s a fantastic moment when Carrie realises the reason she can’t afford to buy her own flat is that her wardrobe is full of designer shoes. Someone calculates the exact figure she’s spent on gorgeous Manolos and the green pallor to her face is a true reflection of that ‘Oh god, I shouldn’t have’ post-shopping panic. We’ve all been there, albeit with New Look sandals. 

When Carrie was with the cute but ultimately useless Burger (there’s a definite shelf life on how ‘fun’ that name would be, especially if you had to call it out loud in a public place), she tentatively agrees to read his novel. Though she loves it, she upsets said woolly writer by commenting that real NY women don’t wear scrunchies, as he has described in his book. Burger has a strop and is super smug when he spots a lady in a scrunchie at a posh NY eatery. Carrie sticks to her stylish guns though and is vindicated when the scrunchie in question has come all the way from Texas. How could you ever doubt this woman’s fashion pedigree? For shame, Big Mac!

It has to be when Miranda goes to the Karma Sutra class and gets something, well, sticky in her hair. Hair-larious! (Sorry.)

Our Top Five quotes . . .

Carrie: ‘Man may have discovered fire, but women discovered how to play with it.’

Charlotte: ‘I read that if you don’t have sex for a year, you can actually become ‘revirginized’.’

Miranda: ‘Sexy is the thing I try to get them to see me as after I win them over with my personality.’

Samantha: ‘Last night I could not stop thinking about a Big Mac. I finally had to get dressed, go out and pick up a guy.’

Carrie: ‘Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.’
