Hmm…about me, well, I am always and never the same, which makes for my own interesting world where I constantly recruit individuals to join my planet. Take myself very seriously, but prefer not to, so I dress in outfits that often do not match and say things that I shouldn’t under the guise of �...

All about the Sex tonight

Nancy Vaughn

OK, so far I’ve read four reviews of the Sex and The City premiere and they are not showing much love for the “ultimate-ladies-night-out-movie-event-of-the-year” (phew!) Three reviews were written by men who weren’t so impressed with the film but all gave props to Samantha (go figure); and one woman who didn’t like all the designer labels being name-dropped.

I refuse to be swayed by the critics, and shall wait to form my own stylishly-calculated opinion once I see the movie this evening. I’m definitely attending this movie because I am a SATC fan, but I’m also attending because this is going to be a great time to hang out with my girlfriends, have a fun night out and meet new friends who share in the SATC fun!

You know the way sports fans can talk to one another about the game – any game, any time? Like when you’re in the grocery store waiting in line and one jersey-clad fan says to another sports stranger, “Did you see the game?” – and they proceed to conversing and may even subject one another to playful banter if they are fans of opposite teams? Well, this is my equivalent game-time event.

And how can it not be? On Fandango, SATC fans shared their plans for the weekend via online survey and:

• 67% of respondents plan to attend the movie this weekend with a groupof female friends.
• 80% plan to attend a "Sex and the City" get-together before or after the movie.
• 68% plan to drink Cosmopolitans at their get-togethers.
• 51% plan to dress up for the occasion.
• 94% of the respondents are female.
• 45% of the respondents are 25-34.

Only the most secure men are going to be out for the premiere (or those men who are dragged to it by their wives or significant others). In Toronto, the “Damn right your dad drank it” Canadian Club Whiskey brand will be holding a protest. They’ve even organized a schedule. Tsk tsk…silly boys.

What are you doing to kick-off the SATC premiere? Please share – I want to hear all about it!

For those of you in the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas who aren’t sure where to attend pre- or post-party events, here are a few options:

• Gallagher’s Steakhouse in Channelside will be hosting a SATC Premiere Party
• The Table St. Petersburg will be hosting pre-party and post-party events. (I’ll be at this one, come say “hi” if you see me!)
• Florida’s Getaway Girl, Casey Wohl, author of the Girls Getaway Guide, is hosting a premiere event in Orlando

And what about those of you who just want to avoid the weekend premiere traffic? When do you plan to attend? If this weekend is going to be too much for you and you want to avoid the mad rush – there’s a Sex and The City Networking event in Orlando next week.

For those of you who aren’t fans – why not? Was it too girly? Too fantasy? Too many women looking for a man to come save them? I want to hear  your thoughts/feelings as well.

For yours truly, my only expectation is to have fun! Even though the big day is upon us, I had a good time with the Sex and The City Mad Libs – just to get things started!

Cheers!
