Sex and the City: 2 premieres this week, and I will go see it.

Sure, sure: As a writer, I could never get past the insanity of a weekly sex columnist affording coffee, much less couture, in Manhattan. I'm not a huge fan of cosmos. And as someone married to a furniture designer, I am firmly #teamaidan.

I loved to hate it -- but I also loved to watch it. SATC was never about reality. It was about fantasy, deliciously sugary fantasy. The clothes! The steamy sex! The glamour careers!

And the fabulous, ridiculous, breathtaking shoes! If there hadn't been Sex and the City, Manolo and Jimmy wouldn't be household names … and I'm betting we might not even be devoting an entire episode of Putting It All Together to shoes, glorious shoes, either.

Now it's your turn to live the fantasy: Tell us what you think about Carrie and Crew in the comments to be entered to win a pair of Jimmy Choos worth up to $500! Just comment to be registered for the drawing, which will take place at noon Pacific on Friday, May 28. Read the official rules here.

Make sure you have your e-mail address in your BlogHer profile, so we can contact you if you win.

One comment on this post equals one entry into the contest. We will put all the comments into a randomizer to choose the winner. Comment as many times as you want! Good luck!

Update: This contest is now closed.

Shoes I love; but I have a limit on what I can spend. The only way I would ever wear Jimmy Choos would be to win a pair. Here goes!

I love SATC because it shows four very different and dynamic women who have gone through various hurdles in life and they remain strong as women and through their friendship!

scarter305 5 pts

I would say I love the show because it is an escape into all things girly. The clothes, shopping, lunching, cosmos, yeah!!

shopgurl 5 pts

I love these girls. Their chemistry makes me envy them, their fashion is unbelievable. And their adventures make me want to go out there and imitate. They are funny, and fun, yet their stories are realistic.

eaglesforjack 5 pts

I love the show it has always been fun to dream to dress like that, it is fun to daydream through them. I can't wait to see the movie!

Mama Contemporanea 5 pts

I love SATC, the fashion, Mr Big, cosmos an NY. Is like a fantasy in a world of luxury. I like Carrie.

Well I bet I am not like most women but I personally like things that are not so shallow, I have more important things to worry about in my life!

blueviolet 5 pts

What I love about the SATC girls is that they are who they are and make no apologies for it. They are comfortable in their skin!

I love that Samantha left a man because she loved herself more.
I love that the show shows the multiplicity of wants a woman might have--career, love, sex, children, shoes, what have you. At least the characters are multi-layered, self sufficient, interesting, sometimes smart, and sometimes charming.

ellenks 5 pts

Okay, 1 more entry. :) I live in NYC. I'm a woman. We're predisposed to watch SATC, for starters. And for me, well, it's a glimpse at "the other side." Chances are I will never live in an apartment like Carrie's, or wear a pair of Jimmy Choos (unless??), or attend a Hollywood premiere. And that's okay. But it's fun to think about. Watching SATC is like a funny, beautiful (kind of cheesy) dream.

whodemis 5 pts

SATC is a guilty pleasure, but it's one that I like to enjoy at home on the couch in the privacy of my own home. I just couldn't get into the first one in theater full of people. I'll opt to wait for the DVD this time to see SATC2 on my couch with some fabulous heels on my feet and a pint of ice cream on my lap.

susan1215 5 pts

I love to see what they are wearing. I know I couldn't afford to wear their clothes or look as nice as they do.

ellenks 5 pts

I'm commenting twice because I have 2 feet. :) And I think they might look quite nice in a pair of Jimmy Choos... certainly a bit more glam than TJMaxx! Cheers!

ellenks 5 pts

Love to hate the girls? Why yes. The movie was ridiculous and over the top, but completely entertaining. As a new mom, I particularly felt for Charlotte's character this go around.

Great contest- would love to win!

carrie and the crew! i am a big fan of satc!

ohmygaia 5 pts

The show was fun and fabulous. Always amusing to watch. While their outfits and apartments may have been unrealistic, I could relate to their relationship/emotional struggles on some level.

I did see SATC2 last night, and I was disappointed. While they remained true to their materialistic ideals, the story was lacking. I could relate to Carrie a little though. Reality isn't so glamourous, and even when you get what you want, it can be disappointing at times.

I'm not a fan of the show.

The shoes, yes, OMG. I'd LOVE to be able to afford 1/10th of the shoes that these girls have!

ava02 5 pts

i do not care for the show or either movie; therefore, I am not particularly a fan.

Helen126 5 pts

I never watched when it was a regular season show, but love the reruns now and wish I would of watched it sooner.

darcybel 5 pts

I love the girls, and their fabulous clothes, shoes, jobs, men, and lifestyles. I missed them when the show stopped, and I was thrilled with the first movie, and can't wait to see the second!!!

butterflymld 5 pts

I now love the SATC girls. I never watched it until I got sick with the flu about 8 months ago and decided to give it a try. I could not believe what I had been missing out on. Now I love it. It represents a fantasy world to me, now when I need to get away I can turn to the show and imagine it was me.

I didn't watch the show for the longest time, and then once I got into it, I was hooked. I love how they all have different view points and can have good debates on all aspects of life.

xbeautifulcoma 5 pts

I've never really watched it, since I don't see the point in it.

superdumb 5 pts

I loved watching the series, it was like the televised equivalent of diet soda. Devoid of nutrients yet strangely and ferociously addictive.

ferriz 5 pts

i hate to say it but the reason i started watching was because of the clothes and shoes. I kept watching because of the story line and the characters... but still, drooling (and dreaming about) the clothes and shoes is why I keep watching over and over and over...

I don't care about them but I love me some Aidan!

I really enjoyed watching the show when it ran , liked the movie. Can relate to some of the things the characters are going through, but not an uberfan. I don't desire to dress up like them-I'm more of an individual. :)

jinxy 5 pts

I really don't love OR hate it....I would have to say that I'm indifferent.

sharonjo 5 pts

These 4 women are entertaining and great examples of lovely women, all different and beautiful! I feel that they get more beautiful as they age which is inspirational for all women! Can't wait to see this movie! Count me in! fingers crossed! Thanks! senekrs@comcast.net

I love their crazy adventures and the emotional support they give one another-it's so hard to find true friends today and I think every woman deserves to have a social support network like that in her life!

Nelsby 5 pts

...it would have to be Carrie. I love her writer lifestyle and (typically) carefree and joyous attitude. Also, I love that she can wear ANY crazy outfit and pull it off beautifully!

DivineENVE 5 pts

i think i most identify w/ carrie, not only for my history of choosing the wrong men (haha), but also of being the sounding board to my friends who always come to me for advice and to make them laugh. and my closest friends are successful and amazing women too!

newmommyin08 5 pts

I LOVE SITC! I loved the show, the first movie and I CANNOT wait to see this new movie! I envy their tight-knit friendship because I don't have a ton of IRL gfs that I get together like that with!

accidentalcitygirl 5 pts

I always wanted that sort of friendship with girls, girlfriends that I would meet for brunch on sundays to discuss the various drama in our lives. It's hard for me to make lasting friends like that and I think that's why I watched every week, to live that sort of life vicariously through the screen. (The shoes don't hurt)

etrnlone 5 pts

love it, fulfill all our fantansies

msbabypug 5 pts

I watched the show several times and it wasn't bad to kill an hour. But the costumes in the first movie and what I've seen of the new movie are just too much. Please, please, please, buy a mirror!

hbbs55 5 pts

I really love the series and love Carrie!

Kellyology 5 pts

As a movie lover I agree, this is not a critic's choice type of movie, but that's not what it's about. It's about getting together with your favorite ladies and dishing about what's not really all that important but is super fun to talk about as a means to escape. I went with a great group of ladies last night to a midnight showing of SATC2 and had a blast. And sometimes that's all you need.

I love how some things on SATC are easy to relate to, even though some aren't.

bonggamom 5 pts

I love all the beautiful people and beautiful outfits on SATC! I'm definitely watching the move.

tksinclair 5 pts

have been almost as exciting as the movie! Computers, shoes, trips to NY!!!!

tksinclair 5 pts

Love the girls and the fashion (oh and Big)! They could make a movie a year as far as I'm concerned. Or, better yet, just bring the series back!
