Most fans of Sex and the City know that the iconic show was based on Candace Bushnell's weekly column in The New York Observer, but did you know just how closely Carrie Bradshaw mirrors Bushnell herself?

If you're a SATC fan or love behind-the-scenes stories, this deep dive into Candace Bushnell's life is a must-watch.

@@princessalliecat8 I don't begrudge you your passions and certainly not implying you're some secret privileged millionaire - but not having money at all isn't sacrificing for things you love, it's sacrifice for the things you need. It's surviving. I think OP is just commenting on the absurdity of saying she didn't grow up with alot of money because she rode 'backyard' horses. She didn't not grow up with money - she just grew up with less money than her rich neighbours.

I was about to say the opposite, this is the first time I’ve seen the actress playing the real person actually being SIGNIFICANTLY less attractive than the inspiration. I like that they went for an ugly girl to play the lead character, but it doesn’t make sense because the storyline implies that’s she’s very attractive.

When I went to Uni there were a lot of solidly middle class and upper middle class girlies that cried poor because they were in proximity to the old school moneyed type and the nueve rich. I was a fully black immigrant from the hood who’s dad worked (3) jobs so my mom could raise us like ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ but their dad was a citizen with one really good job. I was between the working poor and solidly working class. My mom would work Summers to pay for school pictures, camps etc., and quit. All this to say two working parents that own a home in the suburbs of Connecticut with horseback riding. I understand how she felt like a sudo ‘poor’ 😊

People compare life today to what Candace’s life would’ve been like in the late 80s or early 90s in New York. Same goes for Carrie’s reality in the late 90s early 2000s as a character. Back then, if you made say $5K a month as a writer (or $60K a year before taxes) you could’ve afforded a rent controlled 1bedroom 1bath apartment by the time you reached your 30s. That didn’t make you rich, especially if you were using your disposable income on clothes and going out all the time instead of on groceries, but it’s very much apart of the single girl in new york lifestyle. When I went to college in New York, we all did the same thing. Whatever scraps of money we had left, we spent on shopping sprees at Beacon’s Closet, ubers to parties across town, and ate at Veselka. I would jump turnstiles and live off of $1 pizza late at night to make it all worth it. Living above one’s means is what it means to be bourgeoisie. That’s the whole point of Carrie’s character. It’s not that the show is unrealistic, people just have a hard time believing someone would openly live so impractically, but that’s what every bougie middle class person does, especially in a city as expensive as New York. You fake it till you make it, or look fabulous trying.

@@peekaboots01 Indeed. The more I remember Carrie, the more I dislike her. She is a lousy friend, I never understood why she was the dearest friend of each of the other three. It was all about her - me, me, me. But there are also other things, beyond character flaws, that always unnerved me. What woman in her mid 30s going on 40s and living alone, doesn’t know how to cook, not even a fondue?! And she’s a professional, yet she adopts “shoegal” as her e-mail address. More than childish, it’s stupid. Not to mention her complete ignorance of how e-mailing worked. She doesn’t speak any language. What kind of education has she had?! I’m Portuguese, and I also speak and write French, English and Spanish fluently. She has appalling table manners, she talks with her mouth full (sometimes we even can see what she’s chewing), she gesticulates with knife and fork all the time. Again, what kind of education has she had, and what background does she come from? In the first film, she has never watched Meet Me in St. Louis, a revered classic. In the second, she has never watched It Happened One Night , another revered classic. Had we suffered a third film, perhaps we would discover she had never watched Casablanca either. 🙄 I know she’s a fictional character, but the woman gets on my nerves more than words can say.

@@KasiaSopniewska she a sweet heart. I felt bad for the heart ache she went through. She married a younger guy named Charles Askgaurd. Look him up. He danced with New York City Ballet. Unfortunately he had an affair with another dancer. She wrote a book. And Candace pulled a boss move by outing the mistress in public. We ran in the same social circle. Try reading the articles Candace wrote before the book. The NYC party scene was much different than it is now. I lived it during the late 80’s till early 2000’s. I think this is why so many of the up and coming generations fail to understand the SATC show. And yes, if you check out some of Candace interviews she did get screwed when it came off to selling the rights to the show. The first and second season were true to the articles and book. By the third and so on they had kicked her to the curb and taken the character into a whole new direction. She said that she based all the characters in different friends in her life. So Carrie is a mixture of her and other women she knows. And yes there was a real Mr. Big. But she didn’t marry him in real life. He married someone else.

I hate when people who were middle class at worst saying they were broke. Also I think money is relative obviously like for me a paycheck to paycheck person 5,000 is a decent amount of money but for someone who is not paycheck to paycheck that like $5. It is funny tho to hear someone who never actually been poor and lived that way to cry poor. $2000 a month back then was a decent amount of money.

I did not watch SATC and I have only seen videos on youtube reviewing the series but I found the Carrie/Candace personality to be materialistic, narcissistic and egotistical. The reason she spent so much money on clothes was to attract a wealthy man who would save her from her less than ideal life. They were props to find status in someone else. It's sad to know so many young women and teenagers watched that series and probably learned to take on the same predatory behavior.
