drumroll please...

i went, i saw, i LOVED! the movie was everything i'd hoped it would be and i am totally thrilled and satisfied with it, it was well worth the wait. i'm very exhausted and tired from all the hoopla so there'll be more tomorrow, just wanted to give you my opinion, if you're on the fence about seeing it, don't be- GO!!!!!!!!!

WTF!?!

that's all i have to say. there are no more words to describe my feelings on this "headdress". this is SJP at the London Premiere of SATC: The Movie, and i think her hair and makeup look phenomenal, but that piece of hideousness on her head...tsk tsk tsk. also, what was up with Kim Cattral's outfit this same night? she looked about 300 years old! i really, really do NOT like her hair pulled back tightly and that dress! oy vey! dios mia! she looks like Mrs. Claus or something! i also have to say, i saw Kim on Oprah (at left) recently when the girls were on to promote the movie, and she looks stunning for 51 years old- i mean clear skin, no wrinkles, just plain glowing, but from the clips i've seen of the movie, i don't think she looks good at all! i'm guessing it's the too-long hair, my favorite hair on Kim was in Season 3 and 4 when she had that really sharply cut, just-touching-the-shoulders length hair with pale blonde highlights. my all-time favorite moment for Samantha was in Season 4, episode 63 "Change Of A Dress" when she was at Richard's fundraiser and ended up having sex with that J.J. loser in the bathroom. she had really straight, sleek hair and was wearing the most fabulous black and white dress and she looked perfect!

as for Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis, i think they both got it right at the London premiere. Kristen looked adorable and as posh and tailored as always in her fitted red dress. i am loving her hair the way it's styled here, she wore it the same way on the episode of Oprah they were on and she also looked absolutely stunning! just as beautiful as ever, actually even more luminous than she did four years ago when the show ended. i love how she embraces her womanly shape, she has a very sexy, 1940's glamour girl thing going on and the way she dresses always accentuates it flawlessly. Cynthia Nixon looked very glam in her low-cut, black satin gown although i am not liking her hair lately, either. when she was on Oprah i swear she looked like she had driven for an hour in a convertible, stepped out of the car and then hairsprayed the whole mess into place! it was very strange! (check it out below) other than that, she was radiant and seemed incredibly happy about her relationship with the woman she has been linked to since the end of SATC. good for Cynthia! i'm excited to see what they wear to the NYC premiere, and in my opinion, shouldn't SATC: The Movie have premiered in NYC first?! i mean the show is all about NYC! just my opinion. the big day is coming tomorrow and i'm hoping to be able to make it to the theatre sometime in the early afternoon to see it, and don't you worry, i will definitely report back with a no-holds-barred review for all my fellow SATC lovers. and to those reading my blog who couldn't care less about SATC? i promise the obsessing is just about over and things will revert to normal, makeup-based information soon.

A Vogue Idea

in keeping with the whole SATC-crazed countdown theme, i wanted to mention the amazing June issue of Vogue with SJP on the cover! although her mouth looks a little wonky, i think it's a beautiful picture, and the article inside is a must-read. if you haven't had a chance to pick up a copy, you can read the full article here, and don't miss out on the pictures and the behind-the-scenes video on the photo shoot! enjoy my fellow SATC maniacs!

SATC: 2 Days to Go!!!

hello all! in honor of the final two day countdown to the premiere of the Sex And The City movie, i'm going to give you my top five favorite looks that Carrie ever wore! this has taken a lot of deliberation because there are so many beautiful outfits throughout the series, but i think i've narrowed them down pretty well. here they are, in no particular order:

#1. from episode 34 "Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl" i adore this outfit that Carrie wears ice skating with her bi-sexual boyfriend Sean (also Rachel's assistant boy-toy 'Tag' on "Friends")! season 3 was the season that i loved the most-- not only do i think that the episodes from that season including the whole Carrie/Big affair were the best of the whole series, but i think SJP never looked more beautiful! her hair was beyond gorgeous, that darker underneath, lighter blonde highlights on top with the loose curls? beautiful! in episode 40 "Easy Come, Easy Go" when Samantha throws the part at her new apartment and Carrie first confesses to her about the Big affair, there is a moment when Carrie is looking out of Samantha's window and i think it is her most beautiful moment of the whole show!

#2. from episode 92 "Splat!" next to the above discussed shot of Carrie in Samantha's window, i think that this might be SJP's second most beautiful look in the whole series! this pale blue Marc Jacobs dress is soooooooo breathtakingly beautiful, and i also love love LOVE her hair here, it's almost the same style as in Season 3 except it's darker and a little more beachy. i also really enjoyed actress Kristen Johnston's cameo as Lexi Featherston, the obnoxious party girl who Carrie catches snorting coke in the bathroom and then sees fall out the window to her untimely death!

1. #3. from episode 19 "The Chicken Dance" i was absolutely smitten with Carrie's gauzy pink Donna Karan dress from this episode the moment i laid eyes on it! i was determined then (at age 16) to model my own wedding dress after it, i loved it that much! looking back now, i still really like the dress, but i have to say i thought Carrie's hair looked awful for a lot of this season, very drowned rat-esque. anyways, here is the beautiful poem Carrie wrote for the couple who were married during this episode:

His hello was the end of her endings
Her laugh was their first step down the aisle
His hand would be hers to hold forever
His forever was as simple as her smile
He said she was what was missing
She said instantly she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was "I do"

#4. from episode 61 "The Good Fight" this adorable Roberto Cavalli outfit appears at the very end of the show, as Carrie leaves her apartment wearing it. when Aidan is moving in with her, they try to clean out her closet, and it's an outfit she decides to throw away to make more room for him. i would never throw this outfit away, and thankfully, neither does Carrie. i think SJP looks striking with her hair pulled back into this clean bun that really showcases the intricate design of the shirt, and the white skirt (slip dress?) also looks flawless.

#5. from episode 84 "Boy, Interrupted" finally last but not least, i love this simple striped Ella Moss dress, i think it's beautifully made and very interesting, and naturally, SJP looks perfect in it! i really also liked her hair at this period in the show, she was growing it out from Season 5's short, chin-length cut, and it was very sleek and simple. i didn't really care for her hair super short, especially when she wore it big and curly, i thought it was disastrous and made her face look even longer and skinnier than it is naturally.

we all know that there are many, many more beautiful outfits Carrie wore and many more that i also loved (and am probably forgetting about at the moment) so tell me what your favorite outfits of hers were! what about her worst moments? ugliest outfit? and don't tell me it was the outfit from Season 1 that she wore to the picnic, that's too easy!
