I personally am not a big fan of TV series. I have a lot of things to juggle in my life, and don’t habitually watch a lot of TV. When I heard about the Sex in the City show from my friends I was not impressed.

So what? A show about four single girlfriends in NY City? I am married and have two children. How could I connect to single life in NY? I never thought I would become a fan of the series until…

I was going to business school, taking night classes at the Golden Gate University in San Francisco. One night I came home and my house was peaceful and quiet; both my daughters were asleep and my husband was watching sports after his own long day. I decided it was a great time for me to relax and unwind, but my head was still full of financial models, problems with resource allocation and integrated marketing strategies.

I poured myself a glass of white wine, stretched out on my sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. There it was: Sex in the City on HBO! I stopped, captivated by the funny, likeable women on the screen. I was quickly drawn into the story line - the script was smart and interesting and I instantly felt connected with everything they were experiencing.

You can imagine my shock to realize at the end of the show that I had watched the whole episode. I was hooked! It became my ritual to come home after my business classes and relax watching the next Sex in the City episode.

I don’t know of any woman who wouldn’t like this series. You could be a single woman, a woman in the relationship, a mother, a girlfriend. It has something to offer every woman, in every stage of her life. I guess the idea of real friendship and relationship is very close to all of us!
I’ve been missing Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte! I am really looking forward to seeing the movie soon. I won’t be in town on May 31 when it opens in theaters, but when I come back I have a date with the girls to see the movie - I can’t wait!
