Glutton for "Sex and the City"

The fabulous foursome looking like the goddesses they are at the "Sex and the City: The Movie" premiere in NYC.

I officially can't get enough "Sex and the City". And thanks to the recent onslaught of 'Sex' commercials, products, previews and general hoopla I am fairly close to getting my fill as Friday approaches when "Sex and the City: The Movie" hits theaters. In the words of writer-director Michael Patrick King the movie has gone beyond buzz. He describes the growing enthusiasm for SATC as a "frenzy of fabulous." Indeed.

But, I have to wonder (as I type on my Mac more than 1,240 miles from NYC) ... Why do women like me (who don't own a pair of Manolos and wouldn't know how to get from Prada to the Magnolia Bakery if my shoe collection depended on it) feel so connected to "Sex and the City?"

It could be we're all fashion obsessed. It could be we love to hear the torrid details of the dynamic foursome's lives. Two words: Chris Noth. But, I believe our connection to 'Sex' is much deeper than the Cosmos and Choos. Evidence: The number of people who have the results of their personal Sex and the City character quiz on their social networking pages.

Everyone has a redeeming quality they connect to one of the characters. You're honest like Miranda. Maybe hopeful like Charlotte. Unashamed like Samantha. The nucleus of your group like Carrie. But, more important than the good, the characters of 'Sex' show us the messy, flawed vulnerable parts of us are more than acceptable. Watching them is a reminder the chinks in our armor are what make us so strong.

So cheers 'Sex' fans. Dust off your tutu. Grab your favorite clutch. We are less than 48 hours from the return of "Sex and the City!"
