And, Just Like That?
Back in the day, I religiously watched Sex and the City. I never thought anything of all the drinking in the show. As a New Yorker, you should have a cool job and cosmopolitans after, right? That sounded like the ultimate dream. Having always wanted to live in New York City, I was completely infatuated with the show.
The glitz and glamor of having a cocktail at a bar in Soho, dancing around with a glass of wine in your eclectic little apartment, or all dressed up for a girl's night out on the town. These are all images that are ingrained in viewers. They are FUN images! Drinking makes you sexy, witty, glamorous, and special, so they say.
But, back to those cosmos… I will forever think of Sex and the City if I hear about or see this drink. I envision Carrie and Samatha looking ever so attractive starting their night out at a hotel bar. I wanted to be just like them. Surely, the alcohol industry took great pleasure in watching the show unfold and the audience growing by the minute.
So of course, the release of the new show, “And Just Like That”, was approaching and I was thrilled. Again, not even thinking of all the drinking in the show. They are older so it seems they have all calmed down, except for Miranda. The nuances start out small, like wanting drinks at lunch until Charlotte finds little Tito’s vodka bottles empty in Mirana’s bag.
