S: Sex and the City *90's Pop Culture Favorites* #AtoZchallenge

If I had to choose only one favorite thing from the 90's, Sex and the City (1998-2004) would probably be it. It came at a time when any social life I had was mostly spent hoping to complete a full sentence without being distracted by some form of impending danger to my toddler or explosive diaper emergencies with my baby, so I partied vicariously through these four lovely ladies. They're fun, witty, compassionate, and they've got really interesting love lives. What's not to like?

In my late 30s, I lived what they depicted on screen and it's every bit as painful as they made it look! The best part of it was finding a great group of female friends who were with me through it all. (Although my friends were a bit more dysfunctional than those on the show...)

One of my favorite shows! Love the spot-on observations about dating nightmares and friendships. And I laugh so much every episode.

I still love Sex and the City, and I have all the seasons on DVD. I loved Charlotte's clothes, and I liked how Carrie obsessed about everything (which made me feel like I wasn't the only one). And even though Big was a commitment-phobe, I loved him too because he was so charming and was one of the only boyfriends who made Carrie laugh.

Obviously not big on my list, although Kim Cattrall naked was a bonus.

One of my favorites as well! Though, I didn't actually watch the series until 2004 right after it ended...not sure why? lol

I only ever caught reruns of this show - it's pretty good, though! :D

Some of the writing on this show was SOO good. I was thinking about revisiting, recently. :)

I'm not sure why I never watched this. It looked like a lot of fun.

That was a fun show, even if their experience with so many partners is extremely far removed from my own. I began watching it in 2002.

As a single twenty-something at the time, I hugely appreciated this series for showing me there was power in being on my own and to find comic relief in all the douche-bags a gal has to try on until she finds the right fit. ;)

In which I get rated R...eh, maybe NC 17...

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
