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!
