let's talk about sex and the city

10-4, good buddies. We read you loud and clear. Many of you (42% so far in our recent poll) are way excited to see the new Sex and the City movie. It opens May 30, as if I even have to remind you.
So you're going, obvy, but how do you turn this movie outing into the cinematic event it deserves to be? Invite your friends over for a pre-party, and follow these quick tips for Sex-ing things up:
- Cosmos are key, so shake up the cocktail by offering four variations, each named after our four heroines. Mix up the ingredients (vodka, Triple Sec, lime juice), but trade out the traditional cranberry for a different kind of juice, like mango, pomegranate, pear or passionfruit. Put out pitchers of each one and let guests pick their poison ... and their alter ego for the evening. I'm thinking passionfruit would be the perfect bevvie for a Samantha-esque night, no?
- For snacks, pay tribute to the show's fifth lady, New York City, by serving upscale takes on NYC street food and other city favorites. Think hot pretzels with gourmet mustards to dip into and mini pizzas with decadent toppings. Craving an NYC hot dog? Try one of our creative takes on the classic pigs in a blanket.
- Glam goodie bags for each guest add a splashy touch. Fill each bag with lip gloss, nail polish, mani/pedi tools and fashion mags. Any Mr. Big-esque guys in the group? Replace the girlie stuff with cigars and upscale men's mags.
- Add a heart of gold to your fashionista outfit by holding a clothing swap. Ask your friends to bring over clothes and accessories they've tired of to trade with other guests. Display items as you'd see them in an upscale boutique and your simple soiree becomes a free and fabulous shopping event. Donate all extra items to a charity and get extra karma points.

SOOOO excited for Sex in the City!!!
I'm inviting over all the girls over to pre-funk before we go see the movie and we'll have a cute bartender serving us up cosmo's! Good tips for the variations! You'd be suprised how many men were willing to help out for the event! The dress will be upscale so we can head out after the movie. Have fun ladies!

You must dress like your character for the evening and your other challenge is to invite at least two other girfriends that are not on this invitation list. Oh-- and dont forget to bring a bottle of wine or your favorite drink!

I am SOOOO excited!!! I have been waiting for this for months. I am having a Sex and the City cosmo and a movie fundraiser for the AIDS Foundation here in Chicago. Full martini bar and appetizers at my house then off to see the movie with some fabulously dressed Chi-Manhattan women! I love the goody bag idea and the pre-made pitchers is a great idea! I am decorating really chic martini glasses with the SATC logo in pink rhinestones!! And I'm using glass photo coasters with quotes from the SATC ladies.

We're taking a cab to the theatre in true Sex and the City fashion.
