Sex and the City
NEWSFLASH: 'Sex and the City' Is Off the Air (So End the Obsession!)
By Sarah Wildman - Politics DailyIs there Nothing Else Out There? Are we so stuck that only a decade-old television show (which can be called aspirational, if we're being charitable, and ludicrous, if we're snarky) can describe the State of Modern Womanhood? I'm talking about "Sex and the City." It's done. It's over. It's not you. It's us. We've changed. Moved on. Found new loves. Look. I loved the show, at the time, for its time. I loved the neologisms. I loved the clothes. I mean, I wrote a coffee table book about it. Seriously. That's me on "E! True Hollywood Story," blathering on about what SATC meant for Women with ...
'Formerly Hot': Is This What Happens to Women After 40?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyIn the economically happy Clintonite 1990s, a distinctive sort of genre fiction called chick lit surged across the land, topping bestseller lists and inspiring TV shows and films. It has yet to fade one bit. Chick lit, a term that came to define a genre led by Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones" in 1996, celebrates modern women in humorous and lighthearted eye-candy prose as professionally successful or inventive, youngish, independent, sexually avaricious, shopaholic, nipped-and-tucked, trendsetter, sexy and perky and totally self-involved. In other words, look at Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the ...
Michelle Obama's Mothers Day Tea with Rosalynn Carter, Sex and the City Cynthia Nixon
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyFirst Lady Michelle Obama lavished emotional praise on her mother, Marian Robinson, at a White House Mother's Day Tea Friday, where the invitees included First Lady Rosalynn Carter and her granddaughter; also President Nixon's daughter, Tricia Nixon Cox, and Anne and Susan Eisenhower, President Eisenhower's granddaughters. Also at the tea (where three selections were served, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Bolivian) were "Sex and the City" actress Cynthia Nixon, her partner, Christine Marinoni, some of the young women Mrs. Obama has been mentoring, also military spouses, and a diverse group of women ...
Slot Machines Jump Into Interactive Era
By Steve Friess - AOL NewsLAS VEGAS (Nov. 13) - Some hotly anticipated new themed slot machine games based on "Sex and the City" and "American Idol" may headline next week's Global Gaming Expo, but the real buzz at the year's most important gambling tech show will be over next month's debut of the world's first casino to run all its machines off a common computer server. That revolution, referred to as "server-based gaming," could portend huge changes for the player. The system can turn the face of a slot machine into a computer screen, where players can choose the game they want at the denomination they desire. In ...
Washington, D.C.: Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailySingle women looking for Mr. Right in Washington, D.C., have profound regional challenges. The ratio of 80 unmarried men to 100 single women in the 10 mile square D.C. geography compares catastrophically to, say, Chatahoochee County, Ga., or Fairbanks Alaska, where there are supposedly 159 single men for every 100 women (disclaimer: It's been said that though the "odds are good" a girl should consider also that "the goods are odd"). Maybe their scarcity enhances the high self-regard of bright, young Washington players and strivers like Lizzie's erstwhile suitor, who narrowed his lady friend ...
Sex and the City II: Let's Share Our D.C. Dating Stories!
By Lizzie Skurnick - Politics DailyEmily, I would love to be able to tell you how to mix chronicling D.C. with your personal life, but my only D.C. dating experience never came to pass. It does involve, however, one of the more hilarious e-mails I've ever received. The brief background: I joined J-Date after I returned from a sojourn in Europe to Baltimore and realized I could no longer swan around in cafes, acquiring passionate Spaniards. I got this e-mail the day of a proposed meeting. ...
Sex and the City: Dating Confessions of a Real Life Columnist
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyOn Saturday night, I had a first date with a guy who told me that he had read a bunch of my columns, and that I'm a very funny writer. Nice compliment. He then said that he laughed hardest at my column on eHarmony, which is about my wanting to get married and being rejected by the online dating site. Gulp. He also asked if anything he said would end up in one of my stories. I said everyone in my life gets quoted at some point or another (my poor dad is still getting questions about a goats and cows dowry in his back yard in Baltimore.) Then I got to thinking, why does my fictional ...
