Desperate City

Joanna made a really interesting observation today... she said how very similar the characters of Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives are...and she is so right... Now if by some chance you haven't heard of either one of the shows, do take the effort to remove your head from whichever hole you have had it buried in. And if you are not a fan of either one of the shows...please make an extra effort to go bury your head in some God forsaken hole.

In DH, we have 4 women - Susan, who's clumsy and sane at the same time; Bree, who has serious reality issues; Gabby - who would flirt with every and anything and Lynnette, who is this crazy power control freak! Now looking at SATC - we have Carrie, who is very much like Susan, except with better sense of clothes and shoes; Charlotte, who is similar to Bree in terms of being waaayyy off from reality; Samantha, who sees no difference in flirting with men or WOMEN and Miranda, who could be an alter ego to Lynette!

Both Jo and I are huge fans of these shows - not because they are chick flicks! (btw, that term makes no sense) but coz they really show some hilarious and out of this world topics! And I guess, most importantly, the whole show is carried by women..so expect no mindless-action-packed-testosterone driven ala Bond kind of a show : ) I doubt very much that any of the guys out there could understand the fascination of the 2 shows, though I do have my own guesses about what would make them watch it (read: Gabby and Samantha)

And I wonder if any guys would wanna go see the movie of SATC in the cinema, spend two hours watching 4 women discussing PMS, clothes and shoes, relationship issues, waxing techniques and diet and exercise! I'm pretty sure that would seem like some very carefully planned, women-oriented, sadistical torture chamber to them! Wont it be fun seeing the reaction of some men in the cinema! Sounds familiar to the scenario of Titanic!

Well anyhow, being such devoted and supporting fans of SATC , Jo and I are gonna go next week and completely enjoy watching 4 grown women worry and fret and discuss in length about all and every girly issues!
