On The Side Of Angels

With an extra strong Cosmopolitan (Nina G's concoction: 5 parts Vodka, 3 parts Cointreau and just a dash of Cranberry juice for flavour) in one hand and a faux cigarette in another, Nina G watched the cast of Sex and the City promote their latest venture, Sex and The City:The Movie on Oprah last night. It was such a joy to witness these four brazen middle-aged beauties reunite to reprise their roles from the famed television series. Nina G was first introduced to the series as an infant when it was released back in 1998. Now, almost a decade later, the concepts, ideas and issues of Sex and the City are still very fresh and not threadbare. Nina G is still very much a fanatic follower of the series now as she was yesterday, when she was young. To those who are of the opinion that the series is passe and obsolete - well, go suck a lemon.

At the centre of the series, is of course, the marvelous Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw. Oh how fabulous was she falling asleep in her mille feuille de la Renta gown in Paris or strutting down the runway in nothing else but a pair of Dolce & Gabbana jewelled panties with big hair, big eyes and killer stilletoes. Yes, Carrie Bradshaw - a name synonymous with the epitome of style, brilliance and one fucked-up love life. A character that transcends fiction as it leaps out of the television screen and into the lives of women the world over. Indeed, a character that Nina G relates to most. In fact, Nina G is Carrie Bradshaw. It comes as no surprise then, that the result of a quiz titled 'Which Sex and the City male character is your soul-mate?' taken by Nina G, was none other than Mr Big himself.

To the girls of Sex and the City - welcome back! You've rescued countless women facing relationship hurdles, fashion mishaps and career disasters from suicide and electric-shock therapy. Your wisdom and gospel will follow us through this cruel life. As long as we have you by our side, we know, we are on the side of angels.
