SATC 2!!

Sex and the City 2 has been a nation wide craze for all women (and some men). I was one of those women who stood in line at 11pm in anticipation for the midnight showing. What is amazing about this infatuation with Sex and the City is that every one who watched this series was able to identify with each one of the characters in the show, some more than others. This is not even including the fashion. Fashion has a huge part in this series. Not to mention all the glamorous fashion that has been overly done in both Sex and the City movies.

What catches my attention revolves more around the Jackie Stacey article that I have been reading for class. In this article she speaks of how audiences look up to these stars they see on screen and try to copy their appearance and behaviors as well as try to see themselves within these stars.

Sex and the City is a perfect example of this. While in line waiting for the movie I saw groups of girls dressed fancy or carrying out some type of theme that is present to this show. I saw one group of girls the all wore fancy dresses, when I say fancy I mean sparkles and glitter from head to toe with heels to match. Another group of girls I saw wore big flowers and other headband decorations acting as some sort of montage to Carrie who loves hats and other sorts of bold accessories in her hair. Not to mention that most groups of girl came in 4 (there are four main characters).

I am not the type to dress up to a movie, it was midnight and I was going to head home after this 2 hour and 40 min show and sleep anyway. But for other girls that look up to these stars and try to copy their appearance and take on the behaviors of these characters this was a night to remember. I can bet that those many groups of 4 who came dressed up to the midnight show came from a fancy bar or restaurant and drank some Martini’s to pay tribute to these 4 powerful and highly influential women known as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.
