Bye “Sex and the City”

So this past Sunday we said good-bye to Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda (and Big, Steve, Stanford, Magda, Brady, and a how slew of friends.) I watched the episode with my own girls… Lizzie, Kelly and Valeska along with take out and no carb beer.

I don’t want to give anything away but what a disappointing last show. The charm and joy about the show was that is was being single after a certain with different types of the sterotype represented. There was the vixen, the career woman, the traditionalist and the dreamer all showing what it was like, the type of men we meet, keep or lose along the way as we try to figure out what it that men bring to the table.

It was about bad dates, tough relationships and good friendships with all the people that fill our lives. It taught us about gay-acting straight men, sexually transmitted isuues and the bonds that we form as we make our own families in our live. It was about fashion and humor, sexuality and love, the ways we try to live and the ways it play out. It is something that I will miss and not just because it is off the air but by how wrong the last show was….

I’d like to believe that this show maybe it okay to be alone just a little and help to understand that it isn’t just us that makes us single…it’s about what we want and how you have to hold out until you get. That there is no wrong ways to live as a single person—just ways to get through. And it proved that friendship could be the best way to get bye. Thanks girls—we’ll miss you.
