Not all of Carrie Bradshaw’s flop moments in ‘SexAndTheCity’ are as dramatic as an epic fail at a magazine cover or runway show, but I respect her all the more in her smaller moments of weakness, Emma Specter writes in Vogue.
As I reflect back on 25 years’ worth of Cosmos, ludicrously expensive shoes, and extremely desultory column writing, I can’t escape one simple fact: I’m just not a Carrie fan. This is partly because I’m a textbook Miranda , but without rehashing every sin the show’s central protagonist ever committed, suffice to say that I rarely saw myself in Carrie – except, of course, for when she flopped.
What kind of flops am I referring to, you ask? Well, there are plenty to choose from – the time she showed up hungover to amagazine shoot and ended up being captured for posterity alongside the sneering headline “Single and Fabulous?” springs to mind – but the ne plus ultra of Carrie Bradshaw failures has to be the time she turned into what Stanford called “fashion roadkill” on the catwalk while walking in.
Another major entry in the Carrie Bradshaw flop files has to be the time she got dumped on a Post-it. I’m on the record as thinking this actually isn’t the worst way to break up with someone , but the way she handles that unfortunate event – namely by getting mad as hell, shit-talking her ex to his friends, smoking weed on the street, getting a ticket from a cop, and ending the night with a stoned ice-cream sundae in the company of her besties – is Carrie at her most relatable.
