The (SE)X Factor

Counting the days before Se X (Factor) of Sex in the City ”The Movie” is revealed. Written By: VSG.  At long last “Sex in the City” the Movie that had to be will finally debut this week. At the end of season 6 we were all left breathless and wanting more answers so it must be completed because of those X factors. We all have our own opinions on its outcome with only a few days before the premier on May 30^th 2008. “ The Movie” is part of a jump off to what will certainly be a hot and exciting summer season. In an election year with its own cable station series like drama we all need the little fantasy and hopefulness that “the Girls” can bring. With a new girl added to the mix, Jennifer Hudson, we have an unknown factor. As a sister of size she is a true X factor. Let’s see if adding a little brown filler changes the gravy’s texture at the very least stirs the pot. I have been waiting to see if Samantha’s tenacity is enough to breakthrough the physical obstacles of the C word and if her age issues catch up? Can Miranda swap out the choices of ME for US and WE and be happy in BK?  Will Charlotte’s remaking of self-spirituality yield the fulfillment she yearns when the mind and spirit meet at the pillow before twilight and can a child bring her happiness? Can Carrie cross the same ocean twice and have it work? After being changed now and a lot less breathless about love’s possibility and knowing herself,  today can she be happy? Could there have been any rapture without the Boys? Can players ever stop playing games and do we want them truly grown? Do we find that sexy? Can Mr. Big harness his EGO and get out of his own way, change and let love in?

Are the men more complicated than we are after all? To hell with those Girls room philosophies of feed and fuck em, that’s crap! Have you ever really noticed that they may not carry shoulder bags but go open up a closet or toolbox with a light on and take a good look?  Most men are little boys playing with train sets and the theory of evolutionary shit like NASA. Oh yeah, that is one of the biggest boy’s club, Hmmm?

To live and thrive in the City you must like living between Exciting St. and Danger Ave. because you never know what can happen here. This city, New York, is a destination, a place where folks converge on and not just end up at. One of this city’s credos is all punks either go back home or get transferred to Atlanta or L.A. Eat or be eaten. This space is a mix of random encounters and people. You can live on the same block with Sarah Jessica Parker or down the stairs from Jay Z & B and not even care because it is truly all about you. The Apple is 304.4 square miles packed with 8,214.426 million folks around everyday all day and most are desperately lonely and in need of hugs. Too many hailers substitute Sex in the City for love and 700 square feet with a view for a home and a heart. Being a native born and breed I am in no way being melancholy, just truthful. This reality encourages daily drinks of one hell of a cocktail, just mix the passion of art, the best of fashion, food and mammoth wealth and a baby. What an X factor!  Like I said City living is costly on many fronts but the rewards are great. Where else could such chemistry take place? Gotham has no rules. Where else can a blue blood pearl wearing Protestant girl could and would convent to Judaism? Only this city could mix together a Harvard JD who would fall in love with a bartender and get knocked up on a goodbye tryst with a one ball, baller. It is the only place where a self made PR firm owner would not marry the cheating, handsome, millionaire and settle for the love and compassion of a beautiful understudy. The only locale on the planet where a creative fashionista writer, pushing 40, would not marry the internationally renowned, rich artist with a home in Paris and go back to the hurt that lies and bodies strewn on the Big American road. Who is also having a mid-life crisis. I am hoping that the “Sex . . “ the Movie is much more than just an elongated fashion show. I feel connected to these people, it’s like I know them. I think of “the Girls” as friends that I hang with every summer for the last 5 years, kind of like a fifth degree of separation connection. Like a City, friends always happy to do the chat up in a New York minute .We are all like long distance cheerleaders and now it is the summer season again and stuff has been happening since we last met up, Whew. Like good girl friendships born in the city. I’ll get the tickets for the 10pm show we’ll meet up at 8pm for finger food and cocktails and let the juicy stuff happen …  Until next time, Thrive…. VSG
