the fab four

this afternoon i saw them much anticipated (in may life anyway) sex and the city movie. i was once asked by someone who knows me quite well, why... if i don't necessarily buy into the labels and the fashion and the "stuff" sex and the city revolves around... do i like it so much?

carrie came out and said it in the movie. "why are we able to write our own vows but not our own rules?" sex and the city is one of the few places in pop culture where the nuance of what women can be allows us to write our own rules.

i know that is many ways it also re-inscribes rules about gender and sex that do damage to people as well... but i am of the camp that little if anything is life is all good... so i will look for the good where i can get it.

so i am off to write my own rules.
