Neither, apparently, can the love.

An almost immediate cultural phenomenon when it debuted on HBO in 1998, "Sex and the City" (the final season begins tonight at 9 p.m.) has mainstreamed Manolos, cosmopolitans and serial dating - to the chagrin of many single New York women, who have felt pressure to keep up with the frisky, fashionable foursome.

Manolo's are expensive women's shoes. I think we're talking $500-1000

Shoes. Manolo Blahnik.

During school I spent several Thanksgivings with my aunt and uncle here. So I knew the score wrt apartments and expenses before I ever moved here.

But if these girls really came to New York because of a TV show, no wonder they're disappointed. "Well, I can't afford an apartment like Carrie's yet, but in the meantime I'll settle for one like Monica's on Friends". Bwahaha!

a closet stacked with designer clothes and $600 shoes,

To me, shoes are what to wear to keep your feet from scraping on the ground and your toes from stubbing into things. A "closet full of shoes" is insanity. (But I'm just a guy)

It's really a soft porno show. It's amazing the levels the media and some people go to in giving it such praise.

SJ Parker: nice body, Margaret Hamilton's face.

Give me those red Jimmy Choos!
Give them to me or I'll ...

Are these airheads for real??? They really moved to NYC and made life-altering decisions based on a TV show?!

I would hope that these females aren't real or at worst they had to really hunt to find these dim-bulbs.

The alternative is just too depressing.

They really moved to NYC and made life-altering decisions based on a TV show?!

It does have a certain Treadwellian air about it. At least they weren't devoured by a grizzly bear.

That's a picture of SeaBisquit isn't it?? I haven't seen such a "horsey-face" since Mr. Ed. I think that's hay on her head, not hair. Which reminds me, just how far do you think you kick a $600 Jimmy Choos up her ass?????

The very name of this show makes me ill. TV mania has now gotten so bad that when I am with a group of people I count the minutes until the conversation turns to TV or the movies. And this is in-your-face, right-out-of-Pandora's-box evil. Every time you see the title of this show, you have to think about sex. They have invaded your mind and your life. Even if you never watch the show, you have been invaded.
