  • Knowing Good Sex Pays Off: the Image of the Journalist As a Famous, Exciting and Chic Sex Columnist Named Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’S Sex and the City
    Knowing Good Sex Pays Off: The Image of the Journalist as a Famous, Exciting and Chic Sex Columnist Named Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s Sex and the City By Bibi Wardak Abstract New York Star sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw lives the life of a celebrity in HBO’s Sex and the City. She mingles with the New York City elite at extravagant parties, dates the city’s most influential men and enjoys the adoration of fans. But Bradshaw echoes the image of many female journalists in popular culture when it comes to romance. Bradshaw is thirty-something, unmarried and unsure about having children. Despite having a successful career and loyal friends, she feels unfulfilled after each failed romantic relationship. I. Introduction “A wildly successful career and a relationship -- I was afraid…women only get one or the other.”1 That’s a fear Carrie Bradshaw just can’t shake. The sex columnist for the New York Star is unmarried, career-oriented and unsure if she will ever have a traditional family.2 Just like other modern sob sisters, she is romantically unfulfilled and has sacrificed aspects of her personal life for professional success.3 Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker in HBO’s hit television show Sex and the City, portrays a stereotypical image of female journalists found in television and film.4 She and other female journalists in the series struggle to balance a successful Knowing Good Sex Pays Off: The Image of the Journalist as a Famous, Exciting and Chic Sex Columnist Named Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s Sex and the City By Bibi Wardak 2 career and satisfying romantic life.

In a 2011 interview, King noted that he knew from an early age that he was "going to go into show business." Toward that goal, after graduating from a Scranton public high school, he applied to New York City's Juilliard School, one of the premier performing arts conservatories in the country. Unfortunately, his family could not afford Juilliard's high tuition, and King instead attended the more affordable Mercyhurst University, a Catholic liberal arts college in Erie, Pennsylvania. Mercyhurst had a small theater program at the time, which King later learned to appreciate, explaining that he received invaluable personal attention from the faculty and was allowed to explore and grow his talent at his own pace. However, he left college after three years without graduating, driven, he said, by a desire to move to New York and "make it as an actor." In New York, King worked multiple jobs, such as waiting on tables and unloading buses at night, while studying acting during the day at the famed Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

The success of the series that led to her award is a direct correlation to the large crowds that the film attracted when it made its debut in 2008. What is astounding, is that in 2007 only five of the fifty top grossing movies in American had a woman as a lead character , so not surprisingly critics throughout the nation were stunned at the great success the film Sex and the City had on its opening weekend. While critics were astounded, loyal fans predicted the success. The popularity of the film may perhaps be indicative of the times . This film came three years after the season finale of the HBO series also titled, Sex and the City . The series began at the peak of an ambitious female generation, empowered by third wave, and post-modern feminist movements. It may be that the emergence of a series that features the lives of four New York City women whose motto is to “do it like a man,” is the reason for the incredible following the series has had since its public debut.

  • Sarah Shiner
    Sarah Shiner Dr. Lee-Keller Sex and the City: A Pseudo Sexual Revolution What people don't understand is that talking about sex and sexual self-esteem is talking about equality – Amy Richards It’s easy to think, in the year 2007, that as a society we have achieved sexual equality; that men and women are equal in their ability to express themselves sexually in whichever way that they choose. Young women growing up in the twenty-first century, especially, are freer than ever to be unapologetic about their sexuality. Examples of this, prevalent in the media and television shows, suggest that it is more common and acceptable now for a woman to engage in sex with multiple partners or to seek a relationship solely for the sexual benefit of it—the female characters in the show Friends do this, and so does Elaine from Seinfeld. The media is able to portray women with a greater degree of sexual liberation than they could fifty years ago. For instance, the show Sex and the City, which ran from 1998-2004, produced by Darren Star, is critically acclaimed—“This show has been a sort of post-feminist empowerment of women” (The Guardian)—for portraying a group of women who unabashedly satisfy their sexual needs. This show makes it seem that finally women have escaped the stereotypes and judgments that have kept them from feeling free to explore their sexualities as fully as men. But have they? If a goal in our society is to have no double standards between what is sexually acceptable for men and what is sexually acceptable for women, then, to many, it may seem that we have achieved it; however, much more progress needs to be made to eradicate double © 2007 Sarah Shriner Shiner 2 standards that still exist.

    Script Coverage Sample “The Carrie Diaries” Coverage By: Kimaya M. Floyd TITLE: The Carrie Diaries FORM: Teleplay AUTHOR: Amy B. Harris, Novel by Candace GENRE: Drama Bushnell DRAFT DATE: 12/9/2011 PERIOD: 1984, past COVERAGE DATE: 9/9/2013 LOCATIONS: Connecticut, Manhattan PREPARED BY: Kimaya M. Floyd LOGLINE: Sex and the City before the sex and an introduction into the city. SUMMARY: Imagine Sex and the City before Carrie Bradshaw discovered sex or Manhattan. In this adaptation of the Candace Bushnell prequel to Sex and the City, we meet a very different Carrie Bradshaw. She’s a sixteen year old girl from Connecticut, living at home with her anti-conformist sister, Dorrit, and her father Tom. The family struggles to find a balance after the loss of Bradshaw’s mother.

She’s surrounded by her click of friends, Walt, Maggie, and Mouse, but she imagines a life outside of her small town. When the new kid shows up, a cutie named Sebastian (her fist Mr.Big) things start to look up, but not if her adversary, mean girl Donna LaDonna gets to him first. However, things take a turn for the interesting when Carrie’s father gets her an internship at a law firm in Manhattan!
