SJP – I am a big fan of yours. Your care-free yet introspective attitude, your limitless wardrobe, your gifted sense of style, your wit and intellect. I loved you for Carrie and I loved you for SJP. I tried to emulated your style (though i can only pull off the H&M version of your couture wardobe).  Threw out the straightening iron (and wore my hair curly), started to write (though anonymously), drank way too many cosmos (until I found out they may be linked to breast cancer). Heck, I even bought your perfume and thought wrinkles communicated experience not age.

I have remained extremely excited for May 30, the premier of Sex and the City, but am disappointed that it’s just you on most of the posters. Where are your gals? Why the exclusion? SATC has always been about the four of you. It doesn’t matter that you’re a producer – I don’t think your audience cares as much as they care to see the four of you together. Facebook has an application that identifies which SATC character women most identify with. This implies that if all women were theoretically divided into only four categories – you would only get a percentage of the share. Then why would you isolate the women who might identify more with Miranda, Charlotte, or Samantha?

SATC was powerful, because it was about friendship and sisterhood between four women, with completely different values and personalities, that survived through jealously, romance, heart-break, illness, motherhood, and more. So why aren’t your sistas on the billboard with you?

My dear SJP, may I remind you the cardinal rule of friendship is that you never leave your girls in the dark.
