Sex and the City 2: Movie Review :)

To start with, this new SATC film has hardly any Sex (unless the Censor board's chopped it out) and the city of choice this time is not Manhattan, New York but Abu Dhabi.  Well honestly, reading all the reviews I had before, I knew most women found the film a huge disappointment, so I went prepared to confirm them. Maybe my expectation were already set for base level, but being the huge fan that I am, I couldn't just let someone else decide for me. I wanted to see it for myself, and I'm glad that I did. 'Coz though the film really is no competition to its predecessors and the sequel is highly predictable in its flow, I completely enjoyed this 2 hrs 27 minutes of fun, fashion and friendship. :)


I loved the movie as any true fan would. Sex and the City has always shown us the promise of success and friendship and it’s always fun to see the successful group of girls venture off. Carrie and her spunky group of best girlfriends. still carried the underlying theme of friendship in the second movie. Surprisingly, the unconventional, raw series was carried on as was a theme of tradition! We’ve known SATC to be all things nontraditional and yet tradition sneaks in even at  the over the top wedding of their gay friends.


Some dialogs in the film are crazy, some are crude but some are laugh-your-guts-out hilarious! My favorite dialog hands-down was when Miranda and Charlotte were venting on motherhood, it was crazy to hear Charlotte say, “When Samantha told me Harry might be sleeping with the nanny, the first thing I thought was, “NO, I can’t lose the NANNY!”  :D


Without giving away too much, I did enjoy the movie. After spelling out and building on the tradition theme throughout the two and a half hour movie, the adventure seemed to have ended rather abruptly. Which leaves me wondering if there have been thoughts on a SATC 3 (more the merrier). The fashion in SATC 2 however was to die for! I loved some of the costume changes and even the fashions that made you turn your head a little were rocked by the ladies along with equally fashionable stilettos. After 6 seasons of a raw, realistic series I can say that I thought the first movie was a little fairy tale (which I didn’t mind) and the returning of THE oh-so-hot @ 'fifty fucking two' Samantha, the unsure Carrie, an imperfect Charlotte and a frustrated, unhappy Miranda (on the work front) really brought home Sex and the City as we know it.


Yes I know the movie reviews are bad, but I for one was not there for the plot, that’s what the series was for. I was there for the outfits and the clever one liners. And with that in mind, the cast’s wardrobe definitely lived up to the hype. So, to all my girlfriends out there, do drag your husbands/ boy-friends to the theater; it'll definitely be worth a trip :)

Each sun sign has its own fashion code. Fashion and astrology are tied by a strange zodiac code that emits good vibrations for the wearer, says an expert.

As the industry booms and knowledge widens its access, couture-conscious buyers stalking the high street are becoming increasingly wary about the "metaphysical, spiritual and environmental quotient" of the clothes they are carrying off the racks.

The heightened awareness has led to a entire new range of fashion that is arty, meaningful, spiritual and healthy.

"It is not a question of what you are wearing is looking good, but what we are wearing is emitting good vibrations. All zodiac signs are based on natural elements - fire, air, earth, water and sky. These elements produce negative and positive energy, but we choose our clothes without considering our zodiac signs that clash with our inner vibrations," fortune designer Kappil Kishor, a fashion astrology expert, said.

A National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) alumnus, Kappil Kishor, guides people through their choice of apparel to foster harmony and prosperity. He has researched the impact of astrology on fashion for more than a decade.

"My predictions are based on colour, fabric or textures and balancing clothes with the five elements of nature," said Kishor, who owns Rudraksh, a firm that promotes young fashion talent.

For example, "real leather is not advised for those born under the zodiac sign of Leo because the animal hide nullifies the positive Leonine energy while gold does not match the aura of every zodiac sign", Kishor said.

The designer has devised a astro-fashion code for the 12 signs of the zodiac.

As Aries, a fire sign ruled by planet Mars, is endowed with a royal nature, people born under the sign can wear "both pure and synthetic fabrics". "Leather, silver and iron do not suit Arien personality while outfits with multiple cuts in vibrant red, blue and orange flatter them," Kishor said.

The designer advises bright silks for Taureans in light shades like green, white and brown. "The cuts can either be plain or multi-layered."

Pure cotton and linen are best suited for the double-face Gemini twins. "Green and white are their favourite colours while platinum, gold and silver are suited to their sun signs," he said.

Ruled by moon, Cancerians are "unstable and naughty". "Silk, cotton and linen should be their fabrics of choice in white and simple cuts," he said.

The sunny Leo, on the other hand, should not deviate from simple symmetrical cotton clothes in hues of red, yellow and orange. "The lions must avoid leather, feather, silver and iron," Kishor said.

While earthy Virgo is recommended cotton and linen fabrics, persons born under the influence of Virgo must avoid "elaborate cuts and sunny shades". Emerald jewellery in silver, platinum and gold match their energy.

Libra, ruled by planet Venus, should "dress in synthetic silk fabrics. They must avoid red, orange, silver and platinum", Kishor said.

Watery Scorpions should wear fabrics laced with cotton in "red, yellow and orange colours". "Their attires can range from plain to multiple cuts - but they should avoid silver and platinum," he said.

Synthetic and bright silks are advisable for Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter. "They should wear yellow, saffron or light orange outfits matched by gold jewellery," Kihsor said.

While the rooted mountain goats - the Capricorn - are advised "cotton, silk and linen in simple black, blue or brown colour, they should desist from wearing gold and copper," the designer said.

Aquarians, ruled by Saturn and Uranus, should wear "dark clothes to highlight the positive masculine aspects of their sign".

Pisceans ruled by Jupiter benefit from its planets natural palette of yellow, saffron and orange.
