i, like the many thousands of people across australia, made it to the cinema’s this week to catch the new sex and the city movie! my sister treated me to a gold lounge ticket at reading cinemas – which was worth the price tag. free popcorn and soda refills, a (not free) menu of food and desserts, (wine/spirits/beer if you so wanted aswell) and BIG comfy reclining chairs to sit back and relax in
i wouldn’t call myself a ‘big fan’ of SATC but i liked the series enough to want to watch it on dvd now and then. i admit that i don’t know enough about fashion to understand what was going on with Carrie’s wardrobe, but i love the entertainment of it all – one big advertisement for as many labels as possible – all way over my price limit!
i won’t post about the story line, just in case you haven’t seen it yet. but i will talk about one thing i really liked – Carrie’s apartment!
i love her studio apartment so much, that yes i did recreate it in Sims 2 …. i love how functional they’ve made such a ‘small’ place. in the movie though, they redecorated it – updated it, and i love it:
the electric blue walls are amazing, i love the 2 matching love seats, coffee table and wall cabinets, i love that her desk is so simple and clean and i love the photo frames behind her bed.
for some people, they will drool over louis vuitton bags, and manolo blahnik shoes – me, i like furniture and floorplans. alot.
oh, to live onscreen with a budget as big as tasmania.
