Sex in the City

(pardon the shortness. Setting things up.)

It is your first time in New York. You just moved here. You friend have talked you into going on a blind date. You thought it was stupid but it was a charity event. You heard it was a lot of upscale women there. You figure you will give it a shot. You didn't 4 great women have sign up to the blind date service too.

Scintillating Samantha is a successful PR exec who knows what she wants - and most of the time she gets it. She radiates confidence in everything she does - whether it's landing a star client, getting a table at the trendiest restaurant or bedding the hottest guy in a room. Samantha embraces her uninhibited sexuality with a diverse (and large) group of lovers - from wrestling coaches to power bachelors to a studly farmer. Forget wedding dreams; Samantha takes lust over love any night - and she's proud of it. Last season, she experimented with lesbian love, but when her "girlfriend" demanded more intimacy, Samantha knew it wasn't going to work out.

Carrie Bradsaw is the writer. No one captures the lives of the lovelorn and the love-seeking in New York City better than columnist Carrie Bradshaw does. As fodder for her column, single and fabulous Carrie looks to the experiences of her best friends and her own. Never shying away from difficult or delicate subjects, Carrie has covered everything from emotional dependence to sexual independence. And somehow, through all her research and realizations, she's remained open to the possibility of finding love among the ruins.

Charlotte York is very neurotic but sweet. Charlotte has a refreshingly optimistic outlook on love and romance amidst the ever-complex dating scene of NYC. Well-bred, she walks through life with a perfect sense of decorum. And a lot of idealism. For years, Charlotte had a crystalline vision of the life she wanted to have. First and foremost, she wanted to get married. She wanted true love. And she wanted her husband to be wealthy, handsome and belong to the social elite. Dr. Trey MacDougal seemed her Prince Charming, but her marriage was far from what she had hoped it would be.

Miranda is smart, self-assured and proud of her achievements. She raises the bar for herself continually - be it in her professional or personal life. She made partner in her law firm and was able to buy her own pre-war apartment on the Upper West Side (Take a look inside). However, she's struggled with her love life and at times, abandoned the pursuit of love altogether. Tough and down-to-earth, she doesn't open up easily, masking her vulnerability with cynicism and self-deprecating humor. Throughout her long-term relationship with Steve, she had bouts of doubt about her true feelings and was constantly frustrated with Steve's laid-back approach to life.
