I can't believe no one commented yet. Go Lindsay go! When's the C*ts video due?

Sex & The City always came across to me as nauseatingly, repulsively vain.

As a woman of a certain age who has always valued comfort over style, I can see why I was never interested in Sex in the City. The more I learn about it, the less I miss it. But even when I'm not interested in your current topic, I always find your comments interesting!

It's like a view into an entirely alternate universe, isn't it?

Hey while I'm here, anyone reading this send an appreciation post over to @coffeespoonie on Twitter. If you've seen Lindsay's XOXO presentation, you'll know why. <3

I really enjoyed SATC in its initial run - but after the 2008 crash it just seemed gaudy and awful. Maybe someday I'll be able to go back to it with more of a balanced view.

I wasn't really old enough to watch Sex and the City when it aired, but I watched a fair amount in college and couldn't help thinking that it seemed like media that was important for being groundbreaking, but had been done better.

I loved the first few seasons where everyone was more cemented in economic reality (for the 20%ers they are anyway) and the goofy man-on-the-street cutaways and interviews.

Admittedly I haven't gone back to it since it was originally on - I disliked the last couple of seasons and the movies so much I never went back. I was always amazed at how prudish a sex columnist was, and her refusal to believe in bisexuality was frustrating

This was very well done and provided a lot of insight. I might have to go back and give Sex & the City another watch because this completely recontextualizes it.
