Shouldnt the characters on AJLT beway more excitedto attend the Met Gala?
As it turns out,Aidanand I both need to learn from our mistakes.
How much does a father figurefigure?
Are we faking more than orgasms?
Without judgment or reservation, Carrie explained the world of Hamptons houses and Plaza weddings.
(Most people would classify Amalita as Eurotrash.
I thought she was fun.)
I am aware thatAJLTis not trying to be aSATCreboot.
Isnt the Met Gala a big deal?
And yet, these characters onAJLTact like its a dinner party for a colleague they dont really care about.
Canyou just buy a table?
And did they select designers to dress them?
Heres what I think the old Carrie Bradshaw would have said:
CARRIE (V.O.)
There are a number of holidays that are only celebrated in New York City.
The first day its warm enough to wear strappy sandals and lounge in Central Park.
The day the jitney leaves for the Hamptons.
BRUNCH DAY
CHARLOTTE
Who do I wear?!
The theme is veiled beauty, and I havent worn a veil since my wedding!
They assign you a designer to dress you.
SAMANTHA
I care more about finding a designer to undress me.
[NOTE: In this imaginary universe, Samantha is back.]
What was harder was trying to find a date.
CARRIE
Are you sure I need to bring a plus-one?
I think its too soon.
Its only been a year since… Big… and I dont think Im ready.
Carrie, you need a date!
Lisa Todd bought us the entire table!
I told her you were bringing a plus-one.
She has to bring a plus-one!
I forgot to tell you!
I met the perfect guy for you at the gym!
Tall, handsome a senior editor at Simon & Schuster.
Youre setting me up?
Carrie, hes perfect!
You have to call him, or Ill break up with Che and Ill call him.
Here, I got his card.
Carrie EXAMINES the card.
I went out with this guy!
I went on a date with him in 2002.
Kiss goodnight and then we both forgot to call.
Not that I recall.
So no GOOD sex.
Its been 20 years!
I think you should give him a call!
Charlotte got me thinking.
A lot has changed in the last 20 years.
Maybe two people who already met could reconnect later and find themselves a better fit.
Was that so hard?
I knowAJLTis trying to be something different than its predecessor, and I shouldnt be clinging to the past.
