Casts : Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis

Columnist Carrie Bradshaw introduces her narrative style by a short story about a British girl who thought the Manhattan manner would be the same. Characters and extras on screen do some of the philosophizing about modern sex life and the life of both sexes she usually does off-screen in her column-style. Among the main cast of four best friends, PR executive Samantha bluntly stands for sex without relational crap, golden spoon-WASP Charlotte for the fairy tale-romantic ideal, while sensitive flirt Carrie herself and stuck-up pragmatic lawyer Miranda seek a middle way; meanwhile gay talent agent Stanford Blatch provides a twisted mirror image. Carrie enjoys using hunk Kurt just for her sexual gratification for a change, then the quartet jumps on the dating game carousel, which never stops in the series.

Miranda discovers she was invited at Nick’s, where all guests are asked with which movie star in the prime they would have loved to do it, to make a change with all those brainless models he keeps dating. The girlfriends see models as a living nightmare as those terribly demanded competitors actually walk around in Manhattan, giving them socially imposed inferiority complexes, except man-eater Sam. Carrie’s friend poor painter Barkley, a serial ‘modelizer’, treats models as things and secretly videotapes his sex with them; Sam sees him as a challenge for her as superior non-model, and even insists to be taped. Stanford introduces Carrie to his friend and best client, gorgeous underwear-model Derek ‘The Bone’, who actually asks to stay the night with her and is even more shy and lonely then mortals who crave models, wanting to become a cop in his Iowa home town.

Carrie enjoys a weekend at the beach house in the Hamptons of an ideal couple, her friend Paige and her husband Peter, but in the morning he greets her in nothing but a revealingly short T-shirt. The girls feel married people either consider singles competitors for their spouses or pity them. Stanford adds it’s getting the same with gay couples; his friends Joe and Lou ask Carrie to become their egg-donor. At her law firm’s softball game, Miranda is teamed up with Syd, a single dike, and they play good enough for both to be invited at senior partner Chip’s house party: apparently even a presumed lesbian couple is more acceptable then singles- indeed the truth puts her out again. Even Carrie’s marrying kind friend businessman Sean’s housewarming party is twos only, to her, Sam’s (who fucked half of the men) and Charlotte’s horror, but their China styles make him unfit for Charlotte. Even drunk, Sam gets up in underwear to seduce Charlotte’s lonely young doorman Tommy.
