Sex and The City #2

The trailer of the second Sex and The City movie is finally out, and now I can wait even less for the movie. I am booking an all girls night to go watch Carrie and the rest of the girls in stunning New York City! What more could a girl ask for?

I will forever be addicted! I heart SATC!! It’s like Magic.

Things I Love Rite Now

  • Art Films
  • Music that reminds me of Art Films

  • Seeing old friends.

Guest Starring

I haven’t posted in a loooong time. There really has been a lot going on, which I promise to update about soon. For now though I have a guest post from the lovely Andhari from Insomniac lolita. To her I would just love to say that I am so sorry this post is so late. Things have been insane on my side.

Hello, beautiful people. It’s Andhari from Insomniac Lolita taking over for the day. Thanks to Megg , for asking me to guest post the other day. This girl is excited. Why? Because I heart Megg. We have a lot of things in common. She’s into fashion, books and she dances! Way better than I am, but still, what’s not to love?

And another thing : we ADORE Sex and The City. Although, who doesn’t?

I gasped when people tell me they hate Sex and The City. HELLO! The show might be over but the ladies are still fabulous, with great successful career and sophisticated life. They wear gorgeous clothes and play like rockstars. That’s inspiring. Men are too prude sometimes to keep an open mind and try to watch it. Little do they know that if they learn about the series ( and the movie ), it can come to their advantages.  As far as I know, once a man says that he likes Sex and the City, girls will throw panties at him. What? I shouldn’t say that? Ahem.

Here are some random things I learn about the series, and the movie :

1.Being single is awesome

This is the ultimate teaching here, right? Singleness is fun. Especially if you have great friends. You can do whatever you want all the time without a man dictating you, or get overly jealous when you don’t spend time with them so much. Thumbs up from this end.

2. Good guys are hard to find ( men cheat, ignore, etc )…

…But when you do, you’re usually bored with them. Seriously, women complain about bad boys but the good ones make them yawn. What’s up with that? Healthy balance, ladies.

3. Being a Nympho will lead to excessive weight gain

Remember Samantha Jones in the movie? Always, always control your sexual urges. You don’t wanna be stuck with one man someday and get tempted by buff surfers then have extra 10 pounds for binging your way out of temptations, do you?

4. You have to allocate some of your salaries for designer items

It doesn’t matter if you leave in an ugly one bedroom apartment and should be moving somewhere more decent, all women should have Manolo Blahnik and Dolce & Gabbana heels in their closets ( which is bigger than the bedroom area itself, according to Carrie Bradshaw ).

5. Don’t change for a guy unless he’s worthy and you can handle it

Carrie tried to quit smoke for Aidan and look how that turned out. I don’t think anyone should ask their partner to give something up all at once like that. He should at least should be wise and ask her not to smoke around him. By the way, if a man asks me to quit partying, for example, he better not dwell on it and just shove it :P .

Anything I miss? What random things you learn from Sex and The City?

Friends, Friends, Friends

We all have them! Sometimes they drive us crazy and sometimes they are all we want and need at that time.

I have been watching a lot of Sex and The City lately and it makes me miss my girlfriends sooo much. It makes me miss high school sleepovers and gossiping. It makes me think of cocktails and brunch.

What’s even better than the friends you have close by are the friends that you lose contact with and then come back into contact with. I have a friend from primary school that I recently came back into contact with via Facebook. She was and (i think) still is by far the best friend I have ever had. We started chatting again and it feels like we were never separated. We grew up in completely different worlds (her is England and me in Sunny SA) and yet she still seems exactly the same.

It’s strange how the universe works, how some people in life just click and others, well I won’t mention those.

Things I Love At This Moment.

We all know that you go through stages in your life when you love various things. Here are a few of the things I am loving at this moment. Some of these things are long-term-loves rather than just at the moment loves but they belong on this list too.

1. My Boyfriend (long-term-love) who constantly comes to check up on me when I am sick.

By the way i have food poisoning from KFC. This is not fun people, especially as I don’t have time for this food poisoning. I have deadlines to reach and now they must be reached from my sick bed.

2. My oh-so-cute hat and fingerless/mitten gloves.

3. Weekends away in Dullstroom.

4. My COMPLETE series of Sex and The City box set (long-term-love, Hat). I have longed for this box set for three years and after waiting and hinting at birthdays and christmas’ and not receiving I decided to treat myself to it. I now can’t treat myself to anything for the next few months but that is besides the point.

5. Buying my friends gifts. I love buying birthday presents and watching people open them. I think I love it even more than receiving gifts.

6. Emily over at Cupcakes and Cashmere. I just love her blog.

7. Incense and Candles while sitting in bed watching Sex and The City.

The Pros of Not Having DSTV

I’m one of those poor people that doesn’t have DSTV. That’s rite, only SABC and eTV for me.

Despite really bad movies and always getting great tv programs months or even years later than everyone else, I have found some good things about not having DSTV.

  • You have toilet breaks during movies (otherwise known as Ad breaks)
  • If you forget the popcorn (no worries, soon there will be another Ad break)
  • During the Ad break you can catch up on the exercise you didn’t have time for earlier on in the day.
  • How I met Your Mother (Yes we are the first and only to see it, ha ha ha DSTV watchers – even though you get etv too)
  • Lipstick Jungle (even though it’s finished, it was great while it lasted)
  • Sex and The City (after sooooooo many years it was only SABC 3 that showed it and showed the repeats over and over again – I don’t really mind those kind of repeats though).
  • Oprah (yes I watch Oprah, not lately though after they stopped showing it late at night).
  • Terrible movies that I land up (often) having to watch anyway for University.
  • SYTYCD (For those of you that aren’t dance crazy, So You Think You Can Dance). I know the American one is on DSTV, and those that have DSTV think they are so much cooler because they get to watch the American one (they also think they are way too cool to watch the South African one) but hello LOCAL IS LEKKER!!!
  • Strictly Come Dancing ( I love watching famous-ish people make asses of themselves, some of them are really good though).

For all of you who don’t have DSTV either, you are not alone. Tell me what you love about SABC or eTV (if you have DSTV and love something on these channels you can still tell me-really)
