The shoes, the cocktails,
the enviable jobs, the endless brunches, the sheer drop-jaw glamour
of it all - why, oh why, can't we all have Sex and the City lives?
We all know deep with in us, a hidden Carrie,
Charlotte,
Samantha
or Miranda
is just bursting to get out, as VideoJug's
character quiz will tell you. But can we
learn to release our inner sassy, empowering, sexy sitcom alter
egos? Absolutely!
It's all about shoes
You
can tell a hell of a lot about a woman by her shoes, and frankly,
the more pairs you have the better. But unlike Carrie, us everyday
folk can't afford to splash out tons of hard earned cash on the
latest designer heels, not even if they are the gold leather Gucci
'Sevigny' with 4 inch heels, ankle strap and horse bit ring buckle.
Sigh. So, you can either give up
eating - or try blagging some designer gear.
Once you've stocked up on impractical, painful, but
oh-so-beautiful shoes you need to learn how
to run in them, because unlike the SATC gals, we
have buses to catch and jobs that start before midday. We've even
tracked down some expert advice in
exercises to make 16 hours on your toes a
doddle. Oh how we spoil you!
Be a fashionista
This all comes down to confidence, but a walk in wardrobe
bigger than your bedroom does help. We've
seen Carrie sashay about in sartorial no-no's such as thigh length
socks, clogs, ridiculously over-sized accessories and more trashy
gold than Mr T, but her unfaltering confidence means she always
looks amazing. Notice though, how she and all the Sex in the City
woman dress for their body
shape, being a classic
pear shape Charlotte really knows how to
work her curves.
Boyish like Carrie,
triangular like Samantha,
Apple, or a lucky
hourglass, we've got the film for
you.
Discover the
secrets of style and become an icon yourself. In
fact, even if you run off to Paris with an eccentric Russian artist
- we can show you how to pull off
French chic even better than Carrie
did.
Maybe we need a reality check at this point. We don't have
stacks of money, or Patricia Field's at our beck and call. But we
do have
The Fashion Police; our very own safety net
for avoiding VPL,
manicure emergencies and
broken heel disasters, bringing you one
step closer to perfection.
Become Date Savvy
Samantha
always gets her man, her ball breaking ethics in dating bad
boys, toy
boys, and well, any other boys, makes her the ultimate
dating machine. But if you don't want to appear that slutty, take a
leaf out of Charlotte's book and a brush up on your ladylike
manners to catch a real gentleman, we've
certainly learned a thing or two from her about
playing hard to get. And if only Carrie
knew about VideoJug she could have bagged her Mr
Big, the biggest
commitment phobe in New York back in season 2.
One thing all the women have in common is their straight talking
approach (or dirty
talking if you're Miranda), but if
manipulative mind games is your thing, we
won't let you down.
So there you have it, VideoJug's ultimate guide to living
the Sex and the City lifestyle. Grab a
cosmopolitan, slip on your heels and be
FABULOUS!
