Longer lashes

Well it's almost summer again which means the no makeup, bare faced look will be back (all year look for Swedish women). What better way to carry this look off than with naturally beautifully conditioned lashes or you can fake it for that sultry 60s retro babe look, a la Marsha Hunt.

Back in fashion...Sex and the City movie!!!



I
t's finally here (yipee)...Sex and the City the movie had it's world premiere (sorry London premiere) in London's Leicester Square last night, much to the dismay of New York fans. The four leading ladies were certainly back in fashion as they graced the red carpet to crowds of adoring fans looking as stunning as ever, although I feel that Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) was the best dressed in a plunging black metallic Calvin Klein dress.



What will happen to the four girls...
Will Carrie and Mr Big (John) finally stay together and get married; Samantha finally have a monogamous relationship; Miranda be able to juggle career and settle into family life and Charlotte have the baby that she so deserves to complete her perfect Park Avenue life??? It will be interesting to see how the girls lives have evolved since the last time we saw them and how the new characters such as Carries's assistant (Jennifer Hudson) will fit into the story. I can't wait for more great fashion courtesy of Patricia Field, hip New York backdrops, mouth watering cocktails, witty lines and lessons in love all from the show that taught us about dating, shopping, Manolo Blahnik, sex of every kind from dildos to vibrators and that "He's just not that into you!"



The long awaited movie will go on general release in the UK on 28th May and on the 21st June in Sweden (why is Sweden so slow to catch on?). I can't believe I am stuck in Sweden and will miss all the buzz in the UK when the movie is released. I will have to gag my sister from revealing the plot to me when we speak. She and a huge group of girls are going to have a SATC night and go and see the movie together with cosmopolitans to follow. When the last episode of SATC aired in the UK 4 years ago to a staggering 4.1 million viewers, SATC parties sprung up all over the country creating a kind of a sisterhood as fans flocked together to watch our four heroines knock back cosmopolitans over broken hearts for the last time.
The movie will probably be out on DVD in the UK by the time it arrives in Sweden, I will have to get my sister to send it to me or book that SAS flight quicker than you can say absofunkinglutely!!!!



Get carried away... 21st June 2008!!
