Sex & The City Mania Hits An Office Near You

This morning, a co-worker and I were discussing our plans for tonight. While he is planning on hitting up a few dive bars with his buddies, I have decided to class it up a bit. Tonight is the premiere of the Sex and the City Movie and my girlfriends and I are going out for a nice dinner (with lots of wine, champagne and cosmos) and then going to see the movie at 10:45 p.m. (just in case you care what time I'm going to see the movie).

Before I could utter the word 'cosmo' to my co-worker, I heard squeals coming from the kitchen and then out burst our Vice President of our Publishing Group jumping and screaming, "Sex and the City! Sex and the City! Woohoo!" into our reception area where my co-worker and I were discussing our Friday night plans.

My jaw dropped. It's not like our VP is an unaturally quiet woman or anything, but her squeals attracted the entire office to come see what was wrong. 'No, no problem,' she admitted. 'I'm just so excited for the SATC premiere tonight. I have tickets to the 11 p.m. showing.' Most of our male co-workers went back about their business, but the rest of us just spent a good 15 minutes discussing our plans for tonight's premiere.


Sex & The City mania has officially hit my office.

For example, Small Fry took the day off so she could go to the 10 a.m. viewing and watch the movie without the crowds. One of my co-workers made her husband take the day off so she could stay in the city after work to see the movie and get martinis afterwards with her "bff's".

And my 45-year-old, gay and Cuban best friend at work has decided to leave at 4:00 to go see the 4:15 viewing at the theater down the street. And his ticket to getting out of work early? He's taking his boss to the movie with him (and he even bought her a bottle of pink champagne).

SATC is the talk of my company today. When they're going to see the show, what they're wearing, what they're eating before, what they're drinking after.

And I just can't help chiming in that I'm going to be drinking pink champagne, eating dinner at Borough Food and Drink, and seeing the Sex and the City Movie with my best girlfriends at 10:45 p.m.!

    Girl you're not the only one! My co worker and I took the day off to "prepare". We're going to the showing at 9:40 (just in case you care...lol...love that) and afterwards we're going to dinner and get drinks (or try since we're **ahem**not 21 yet...**20** close) lol

    I've never seen such preparations to go see a movie...it's like sex and the city is a lifestyle...amazing!

    I love this blog!!!

    Lucky girl, sounds like a blast! I'm not a big movie theater fan (I hate people talking and smacking popcorn) but I may need to make an exception for SATC. An afternoon showing on Monday or Tuesday shouldn't be too crowded right? Oh the perks of being unemployed!

    That's awesome that your VP got that excited. I can only imagine what it's like in NYC. Chicago was freaking out about it too. So what did you think??

    You know, I used to watch the show every single week, but it's been too long now, I'm not hyped up about the movie at all... right now, it feels like they need to make some money of an old concept. They should have done it shortly after the show ended, while people were still wondering what would happen to the NY foursome.

    :) I work in academia and my coworkers have never seen the show, so I'm safe. I saw it on Friday, though. I liked it.

    Thanks for surfing by. Good luck with grad school!

    Am I the only one who thinks Big is a complete a$$?? I thought the movie was frustrating, though it did have a few memorable parts.
