This afternoon I slipped out of the house while my child was sleeping, the very capable babysitter rushed over from her internship and I treated myself to a matinee of Sex and the City 2.
One of the story lines that was weaved through the intoxicating fashion and beauty was about seeking reprieve from 'every day life'. At one point Carrie finds herself back at her old apartment for 2 days working on a project and this idea of a '2-day-vacation' gets brought up throughout the movie several times. The idea being that if we can remove ourselves from chaos and get a full night of sleep or a fun night on the town away from the couch and TV, we will come back refreshed with more to offer. I think it is a solid idea.
I realized on my way home to my amazing husband and precious child that I needed a little distance from my home. This movie, this mere 2.5 hours was exactly the change of scenery that I needed.
It is a beautiful movie that has much less Sex than the series did and a lot less City too. But the FASHION, oh the fashion, it was nothing less than expected! Ladies (and gentlemen) treat yourself!
Bliss.
