With fashion houses cutting costs and scaling down fashion week (even going as far as not paying A list celebrities loads of money to sit front row at NY Fashion Week), it was only a matter of time before we got some realism in the Sex & The City movie. Word on the street is that in the upcoming sequel, the girls may realistically start cutting some of their exaggerated spending often seen throughout the series. I often wondered how in the hell Carrie Bradshaw always afforded $500.00 Jimmy Choo's,Manolo Blahniks, expensive shopping sprees, multiple Cosmos, and managed to pay her rent all while doing a column in Cosmo Magazine? Being an advise columnist doesn't pay Carrie Bradshaw Liz Smith money.
Sarah Jessica Parker, the movie's star, has been paying attention to the state our country is in, and noted as much recently, saying "Times are different."
I know films and television are supposed to provide some sort of escapism, but I think adding the financial pinch to the film's upcoming storyline will humanise the characters even more, isntead of a bunch of middle-aged folks trying so hard to be like the characters they watch in SATC.
