I haven't read any reviews for SATC ii but I've heard they're terrible. Most of the clothes I've seen look like a drag queen's rejects too. It all looks so wrong. I'm still going though (Beckenham Odeon Saturday Night - I know how to live). Any ED girls already been there and done that? Any thoughts? Let the dissing begin.
hi giggirl - haven't been yet. A friend went to the premiere last week, said it was good seeing the cast etc but that the plot was really shaky to begin with, she loved the outfits and the humour though....hmmmmm......i'm still going to go along so I can diss it for myself tho.....
i am going to agree with above posts, saw it monday and it's just fun to watch the characters for a couple of hours. i have to say i thought the whole middle eastern bit was a complete waste of time but it was interesting to see marriage and kids being discussed... so apart from NY missing somewhat it's a great slice of indulgent fun.

I'm with you Sue. I have watched the series a few times on tv, the movie versions don't often match up, I amagine its all glitz.

SJP is a woman who is not ageing well. Her bones are showing and it's not attractive. She needs to put on a little weight but I suspect she's naturally skinny so might not be able to. I've never found her beautiful but often striking and in a certain light (or airbrushing?) she still looks very striking.

It is the nose/parting thing that gets me- having been told for 40 years through various womens magazines(Jackie onwards) that you should detract from a large nose by not having a middle parting, it really grates on me.

( I have had a side parting for 40 years!!!)

I think big noses are fabulous and lend character so if I had a big one I would ignore the "rules" and wear a middle parting with pride.


Barbra Streissand

Rossy de Palma

Princess Dianna

Uma Thurman


Hasn't done them any harm has it (well Dianna is dead, obviously, but not because of her big nose)? If a side parting suits you WoD then leave it as it is but if some prat gave you a complex about your nose in the distant past then go and get yourself a re-style and more power to you.

And...


.. the nose ?





W**F

I too wear a splendid conk, and (when I remember) a side parting, although not (at least consciously) because of the schnozz.


I remember reading in Jackie that you should manicure your hands every day (for 5 minutes) in case a boy wanted to kiss your hand, and you ruined your chance of being thought a nice girl by showing him your raggy nails. Snigger..

I remember taking a quiz in Jackie, one of those multiple choice affairs. It basically said that if your favourite meal was spag bol (among probably a choice of a Vesta curry, beans on toast or steak diane) that you were a slut. And so it came to pass, that at just 9 years old...


I too have a nose, and I wear my hair any way I damn well please.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
