Sex in the City
Wow, I just saw the new Sex in the City movie. It was terrific. It truly made me laugh and cry... all within 2 1/2 hours. It hit home in many ways, hitting on all the big issues we have as women. And, of course, because I live in NY, it seems more real.
I was never a regular viewer until the last year. And, I've caught many reruns over the years. I love the characters -- especially their vulnerability. We really get to know them.
So, back to the movie last night. First, I expected the viewers to be noisy and involved, but you could hear a pin drop (except for the times we cackled.) The story was so packed full and brought everything to completion.We would be fine if there was never another episode AND, there are definitely jumping off points if they want to do another.
The highlight for me, as a boomer -- Carrie is 40 and Samantha reaches her 50th birthday. She is so gorgeous and sexy and outrageous. Of course she's 10 years (actually 12 years) younger then me -- but a boomer. She's my idol. She is so sexual and in touch with her body and her desires. She's gutsy beyond belief -- saying whatever needs to be said. In fact, we get insight into what she's like when she suppresses -- and it's not good.
Point: Be who you are -- no matter what. Don't try to be anyone else.
Point: Even women who seemingly have it all together -- money, status, etc ... they still experience disappointments and have to learn to handle them.
Point: Getting older can still let you be vibrant, amazing, beautiful and sexy.
To celebrate the beauty of womanhood and sexuality, I recommend you grab your girlfriends and go see this movie. Then, go out to dinner or for a drink and talk about it. It's rich.
As for you men -- there were several of you in the audience -- they liked it too. AND, we see some very vulnerable men in the characters in the film.So there's something there for you to learn too.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

There are many benefits to air purifier / ozonator. HEPA filters are especially important in that they remove contaminants in the air. I found a website called filtrationtek.com. They have a wide variety of ozonators and air filter units that work very well and cost less than the conventional brands. I have one myself for 2 years now and it is so easy to clean and maintain. It works excellent. Whenever I walk into my bedroom the air always smells clean and fresh. As far as ionic air purifiers go, this website has it all. air filtration at it's best.
