[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4am insomniac - enjoying reading all of your thoughts. The movies were a disappointment. For me, SATC was my escape. It was easy. I still turn on the E channel marathons. It's familiar and calming. I don't overanalyze it. I live in NY and at the time, the show mirrored my life. I wasn't like one of them, but a little like all of them. Marriage wasn't appealing and I repelled the thought. Sex was incredible, albeit fewer partners (Samantha), 60+ hour work weeks plus travel (Miranda), link that connected our circle of friends (Carrie), a few values/expectations and style (Charlotte). There was that one simple dress in different colors that Carrie wore often. It's the one she's wearing on the bus ad in the intro. Loved it and had it tailor made. Ruined it playing basketball after a wedding. Dined and played at many of the same restaurants and bars. The show was relatable to me, my friends and lots of NYC women at the time.  
 
Here's the fun part. Remember the Richard/Samantha scene on the pool deck? They were wearing white hotel robes and Richard forced Sam to confront her fear of love and connection. It was filmed at Sky Studio near NYU on W. 4th. We had our wedding reception there, a few weeks after the scenes were filmed. In fact, the chef and event planner were there at the time. Kim C (Sam) was not happy and ordered everyone out, since it was a nude scene. Understandable.     
 
[b]The not so fun part--The Twin Towers were the back drop for the pool deck scene. I have so many pictures on that deck with the towers in the background. Six weeks after our reception, the towers were gone. [/b]My friend (videographer) and many of us were grief stricken. I was in Boston on 9/11. My family and friends were frantic since I shuttled back and forth every week. My husband still lived in Boston and his family and friends were frantic. He was headed to SF, on Wednesday 9/13, same flight# Boston-SF. 
 
Months later we received the video. The final frame was a long night shot of the towers and fade to black with a heart wrenching, but touching sentiment. We watch it with our son sometimes, but never on the anniversary of 9/11. [/quote]

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I am happy for you that your wedding was before the towers fell. My husband had a friend whose wedding was 9/15 in Boston and they had lost people.  Our wedding was 9/22 in Texas (my husband is from NY - three siblings worked in NYC at the time). My SIL didn't want to fly, but my BIL convinced her one way or another. We did have DC friends that saw the Pentagon crash and they did not make it.[/quote]
