Thoughts on Carrie B. & Blogging

I think the character on Sex N the City, Carrie Bradshaw, was the one of the origins that spawned the passion for blogging (hey it's just a thought). After all, she made the columnist's life quite appealing. And, let's face it, if we could live our ideal character life's, Carrie's wouldn't seem so bad.
For one, apparently she gets to live a fab life on a columnist's salary in one of the most notoriously fab's city, NYC. She hardly ever seems that ruffled about too much. In fact, at times, she's content and happy. However she does have her contemplating moments that are seriously expressed in her well-known fab column. She's paid to voice her insights, observations and concerns to the world. What's more empowering than having people wanting to read your thoughts, your words of intellect, wisdom, inspiration or even your rants? (A blog, perhaps?)
Another point not to miss is many of the perks that seem to come with her life.
Did you say, Manolo as in Blahnik? Not only does she have this infinite collection that could turn her rare NYC walk-in wardrobe into a mini-walk-up boutique, she actually wears every pair and can languidly walk all over in the city without a complaint.
On a less superficial level, Carrie also has three uniquely beautiful and true friends that are never to busy to be by her side. Meeting for breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner, the four never seem to have any of the normal logistical and economical complications that most New Yorkers face when they don't live in the same neighborhood.
Finally, Carrie has a fab body without breaking a sweat that looks good in any wacky trendy couture or vintage outfit.
In sum, Carrie's character was and remains an inspiration to many of us NY gals (in particular). She had the guys the best girlfriends, the shoes and her articulately insightful column that talked about the one thing that many of us girls have been interested in since we were thirteen - the hope and sustainability of true love. Although Carrie now lives in the syndicated world, she and her friends are still highly revered, memorable and aspirational to many us who watch her at 11pm with commericials.
