Not even Carrie herself wants to go back!

Carrie Bradshaw is an icon. Her lifestyle is completely unattainable (you show me a columnist for a New York paper who has a closet full of Manolos, and I’ll shave my eyebrows). She’s the most fashionable woman in New York, and she’s not even real. Don’t tell me you have never looked at a wacky dress and thought, “That’s SO Carrie.”

She’s an aspiration. You know you’ll never have her closet or her men or her friends who always seem to always have time to grab lunch with her despite their real jobs. She’s pure fiction, but I still love her. And let me be clear, I know she’s self-centered. I know she only talks about herself when Miranda’s mom dies or when Charlotte learns that she can’t get pregnant, but her whole aura is still fabulous.

And now she’s going to be ruined.

The CW is as close to closing a deal to create The Carrie Diaries as Carrie was to marrying Aiden. The Carrie Diaries is Candace Bushnell’s prequel to Sex and the City and follows Carrie through her senior year of high school.

Being a huge Sex and the City fan, I read The Carrie Diaires when it came out, and it made Carrie a normal high school girl saving her virginity for the right man. WHAT? I don’t want to see Carrie on the small screen as a NORMAL, VIRGINAL girl. I want fabulous Carrie. Flawless Carrie, who seems like she never had an awkward phase. Glamorous Carrie who simply shot out of the womb wearing Manolos!

I don’t want to see her with pimples on her face wearing a Hollister hoodie. That makes her just like me. Just like everyone else. The Carrie that we know is a sexpert, not a high school senior wondering why everyone else is having sex but her. I don’t want her living in a town that isn’t New York City. It was bad enough when she went to Paris (I don’t even want to talk about Abu Dhabi).

How am I supposed to want to change lives with Carrie when she’s cramming for a Bio test? I don’t want that. I want my Fendi-toting, Big-dating, sex-writing Carrie; the one I’ll never be.

What do you guys think? Would you potentially tune in to see Carrie as a teen, or do you want to preserve the truly great Carrie HBO gave us so long ago?

5. I can’t wait to pick up more style tips from NY. I can’t wait to again learn how to apply fake eye lashes and what to do when they fall off. I want to see the wonders of blue eye shadow when applied up to the brow line. I want to see NY strut her stuff in glitter and metallic. I want to hear New York talk about her weave. I love when she fusses over it when it’s windy. I love when she refuses to get in the water because it will be ruined. I love that New York is bringing the concerns of weave wearers into light for the rest of the world. We should all only hope to one day be as fierce as Miss. NY.

4. I know in this new show we will see the rise of a star. Not that NY isn’t already a star, but this time we will see her Hollywood acting abilities shine. What notorious producer/director wouldn’t want to cast a gem like NY? New York goes to Hollywood will certainly show us how versatile NY’s talents are. I know we have previously seen her appear on a role in Nip/Tuck but that was just the beginning. I for one know I will buy a ticket to anything NY stars in.

3. I am pumped for the return of Sister Patterson. I can only hope that she will be gracing the show with her presence and guidance. As NY’s mother and best friend, Sister P is a symbol for honesty and purity. As NY herself says “my mother is always right, even when she is wrong.” I can’t wait for Sister P’s brilliant remarks such as “This is not a romper room! So buck up and show me what you got!”

2. I enjoy NY’s open love of food. I think she is a role model for all young girls not to starve themselves and to eat what they want when they want to! NY has no problem pouring ranch dressing over any and all food items. If her dates for the evening disappoint her she will ask them to leave. But Miss. NY won’t leave with them; she will still sit at her table and finish her courses, and dessert. On top of all that NY knows how to be served, you certainly don’t see her getting food for herself.

1. I am on the edge of my seat regarding her relationship with Tailor Made! Sure T-Made is a bit of a bitch and definitely doesn’t wear the pants in the relationship, but that is what makes him the perfect wife for NY. What is wrong with a woman taking the reigns? NY shows us that not only is this acceptable but it is pretty luxurious.

While T-Made buys her Manolo Blahniks and waits on her hand and foot, NY is also a loving partner in this relationship and enjoys the little things about her man/wifey. She even loves his receding hairline!

I advise all of you to tune into the greatness that will ensue, Monday, August 4th at 10pm. I definitely foresee an Emmy.
