On Sex & the City and Samantha-isms

I got to read Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City even before it was made for television by HBO in 1998. As for the copy, it was borrowed from me a few years back, I don't remember who, but whoever that was, nanawagan ako pakibalik haha. The book was based on Bushnell's writings for The New York Observer. Bushnell even mentions in interviews that Carrie Bradshaw is her alter ego (notice the intials CB) and her three best girlfriends, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are actually an amalgamation of her real life friends. Although I was surprised when I saw SJP playing the part of Carrie, she did play the part seamlessly. So did Cynthia Nixon for Miranda Hobbes, Kristin Davis for Charlotte York, especially Kim Cattrall for Samantha Jones. Seriously though, I think SJP and Kim Cattrall should be given best actress awards for playing friends on TV when they were clashing in real life about a salary dispute. I was thrilled though when they announced that the movie will push through and is set to be released in May 2008.


I like Carrie for her intelligence, wit, and her fashion sensibility. I do like Samatha as well for her adventurous spirit. I took a test and I am a Carrie, even Joel insists I am. Although I seriously see myself as a cross between Carrie and Samantha. No, I don't sleep around. I just really like her carefree spirit and her liberal and uncensored views on sex and the opposite sex.

Anyhoo, here are a few Samantha-isms for the Samantha in you..............

ON WITHHOLDING SEX: "A guy could just as easily dump you if you f--- him on the first date as he can if you wait until the tenth."

ON PREMARITAL SEX: "Before you buy the car, you take it for a test drive."

ON UNDERSTANDING A MAN: "You can lay your pussy on a table right in front of one and still not know what he's thinking."

ON WHY SEX IN AN ILLICIT AFFAIR IS SO GOOD: "They design it that way."

ON BAD KISSERS: "If their tongue's just going to lay there, what do you think their d---'s gonna do."

ON WHAT DEFINES FRIENDSHIP: "I don't put my d--- in you."

ON POWER AND SEX: "The only place you control a man is in bed. If we perpetually gave men b--- jobs, we could run the world."

ON MARRIAGE: "Marriage doesn't guarantee a happy ending. Just an ending."

ON WHETHER SHE SWALLOWS: "Only when surprised."

haha......
