Natasha: A Woman Who Knew Her Worth ~ Who Carrie Envied and Wished to Be…

[@patrice6139]

Natasha lived rent-free in Carrie's mind. The fact that Natasha didn't beat the shit out of Carrie for catching her in her home and having an affair with her husband shows how much class she has. Natasha was everything that Carrie wasn't but wished she was. Carrie was cool with being the other woman, but didn't want to be seen as the bad guy.

[@yubdailee]

@@patrice6139 Well, she fell before she could reach Carrie 😅

[@RosieSquall]

Natasha was totally Big's type and I'm almost sure that she was the reason he was going to move to Paris all of a sudden. Carrie always struck me as his side chick. After all, he never introduced her to his mother and when he did introduce her to one of his friends, he mistook her for another girl. Yet Carrie was delulu enough to believe he actually valued her and wanted a serious relationship with her when everything he did was a red flag.

[@iconicallyiconic]

Oh honeyyy, when she showed up to the church where he and his mother were and dropped the Bible, I was so embarrassed for her 😩 I agree. Carrie ignored all of the signs with Big. He married her in the end, but it seemed like she felt unfulfilled, I think she loved the games and dysfunction more than she did Big.

[@RosieSquall]

@@iconicallyiconic She married with him because Deus Ex Machina. The writers wanted to give her a happy ending despite every single red flag in the previous seasons. Honestly, if she had realized what a toxic relationship she had with Big and decided to go her way, return to NY and keep writing, I would have hated her character less. Oh, and totally! That scene was physically painful to watch. I was SO fucking embarrassed for her. Like, girl, stand up!

[@radhiadeedou8286]

​@@iconicallyiconic the fact that real life Carrie and real life Big didn't end up together explains why the ending of the show and their marriage feels forced

[@niabelizaire3596]

Big never took Carrie seriously and it wasn’t until the season one finale that she finally realized that he didn’t love her. I’m not a Big fan, however, I didn’t blame him for being upset when Carrie showed up to Mr. Big’s church just to meet his mother after he told her not to. It pretty much shows that Carrie has no fucking boundaries. And then got mad when he introduced her “like a friend”. She gets on my nerves

Natasha was always warm and gracious to Carrie pre-marriage to Big and during her marriage to Big. It was Big and Carrie that were the bad ones.

Confident, intelligent, and each knowing their own worth.. unlike Carrie.

Oh thank God, I was hoping to see this comment. My friends loved the show when it aired, and would tell me about certain episodes (sounded weird then): my folks didn't let me watch it.

[@kellymaps8128]

Bear with me but I think Carrie actually hated Charlotte (yes her !) because she was the archetype of who she wanted to be, who her ideal type Big would have gone for. This is why she was particularly condescending towards her whenever Charlotte had issues

[@minerva_luna]

Interesting thoughts... When Carrie was being "evicted" by Aidan and they were all saying how they were all buyers, Carrie was salty Charlotte "didn't pay for hers". Then felt entitled to Charlotte's money and ring. All that episode made it very clear there was some bitterness towards Charlotte's wealth

[@mindyourmanners3784]

I don't trust women who identify with and get upset at people who don't like Carrie, a woman who was always in competition with the next woman, a pick me, a woman who was jealous of her friends and slept with a married man just because she felt like he was still hers in some way. We all make mistakes, but Carrie knows exactly what she's doing and does it well into her 50s. There are women out here who act just like Carrie and see nothing wrong with their behavior and love to point the finger at others for why they did this or that rather than taking accountability for their own actions. She wreaked havoc in Natasha's life and thought Natasha owed her something... talk about a self-centered person. Natasha was beautiful, classy, had self-esteem and didn't need a man to validate her, she knew she was that girl even if Carrie wanted to lie to herself and call her "boring" Natasha's presence alone spoke for itself.

[@leiiib]

What you said about the best revenge being “having peace and living well” is so true. I wish some women would understand that, having someone just to have to someone who is doing nothing but adding stress to your life is not a win and it does no good for your health. I loved that Natasha knew her worth and walked away doing what was best for her and not to try to prove a point like so many women do. I wanted there to be an episode from Natasha’s POV- her confronting Big, the conversation they had etc. Carrie always liked to play victim when she was clearly the villain

[@LoveK1]

[@barbiesinspiration8799]

She was so stand offish and rude when she first met her, like your problem is not Natasha girl. It's Big. She acted like Natasha was the other woman!! Natasha didn't even take her anger out on Carrie when she carried on an affair with Big, she confronted her when she was in her home but afterwards, she wanted nothing to do with Carrie nor Big and yet Carrie couldn't just leave her alone, I think she knew she wasn't Big's type and it made her more insecure than she already was.

I actually never hated Natasha. I felt bad for her and wished we got to see her more. Like Carrie, Natasha is one of those women I envy and want to be more like in some ways. Unlike Carrie, I have self-awareness about my insecurities and don't take them out on other women. I also know my worth and would never put up with a man like Big. It's nice to see so many people looking back on this show (that we love) and reevaluating characters and other aspects.

[@FayeBeSimmin]

Love this video. I always disliked Carrie's character. She was immature, and a social climber. She was definitely not a "girls girl". And Big always made a fool of her. He knew she would put up with anything from him. I always liked Charlotte and Samantha. Out of all the characters they seemed grounded in their identities, even though they were on opposite ends of the spectrum, with Samantha prefer non-exclusivity and Charlotte wanting a traditional marriage and family.

[@beautelle1065]

Natasha was 25 and Big was in his 40s, now I don't find like a 5-10-year age difference wrong when the woman is in her 30s because I feel like that's when we've matured most and know what we like, have a bit more experience with how to navigate in relationships etc. but for him to have had 20 years on her was strange, you barely had anything in common aside from wealth and you go and prove it when you cheat on her with Carrie. Natasha deserved much better than that, he couldn't even tell Carrie exactly why his marriage "wasn't working out" they were all minor things. He and Carrie didn't like people who genuinely loved them and weren't toxic. Her with Aiden and him with Natasha

[@1Skorpia]

She wanted his money.

[@beautelle1065]

@@1Skorpia Carrie right? I agree, she loved the idea of Big and that was his status, wealth and power. I don't find it wrong to want to be with a man of means but you can't have it both ways, like complaining about him not having time for you and not understanding his job, while wanting to benefit from it. Natasha had an established career, grew up in wealth so on that level she and Big made sense, but he wasn't ready for that and Carrie accepted the bare minimum, so he got comfortable with that

[@jellyrolly]

I wonder what Natasha saw in Big. Aren't there also rich young guys in her circle?

[@leiiib]

@@jellyrolly I think she may have thought that since he was older he would be more mature and ready to settle down. Most of the young guys in her circle probably weren’t ready to be married yet because they were young, partying, traveling etc. and she probably wanted to start building her family, she already had the career, but she wanted the family.

[@dianazar3280]

Great analysis on Natasha and Carrie's dynamic. Carrie was envious of Natasha's grace, poise, and high class lifestyle. Carrie knew she could never be that. She probably only wanted to be that way to be noticed by Big. She made it all about gaining validation. Big probably sensed that, which is why he kept her on the side and was never serious about her. Natasha knew her worth and was true to herself. That's the way! ♡

[@PrettyPrincess9609]

I was a pick me like Carrie in college but I can say without a doubt that I NEVER got with a married man. A married man approached me in college and tried to flirt with me but I told him to go back to his wife and kids. I also went to therapy and I can say without a doubt that I’m no longer a pick me and I started setting boundaries and putting myself first. I have also been in Natasha’s shoes and my ex cheated on me with his best friend who acted just like Carrie. I caught his best friend sneaking into his window late at night and they both lied to my face but I still broke up with him. Carrie was dead wrong for sleeping with a married man and had the nerve to run after being confronted by Natasha and she’s the reason Natasha lost her tooth. Natasha is who I aim to be like.

[@diamondsfursexpensivethings]

The way I would've gotten an order of protection against Carrie, because why are you popping up at my job, requesting me on SM, knowing where I live??? etc. that's scary behavior. Natasha was a sweetheart because even after that she sat down with her because she felt bad for her, very classy woman. Glad she moved onto bigger and better things. Imagine your ex-husbands wife who he cheated on you with is st a lking you years later because she wants answers about why he left you a million dollars 🤦🏾‍♀ Carrie was shameless lmao

[@Princessdollamanda]

I cant believe she thought Natasha would actually apologize to her! I don’t like how Samantha didn’t hold her accountable at all during this affair but I guess she agreed because she also slept around with married men. Carrie is the fun party girl, who doesn’t know what she wants until she sees someone else with it. In reality a marriage with Carrie and Big would last at the MOST a few months. I’m not the biggest fan of Big lol what I will say though is that he showed and told Carrie EXACTLY WHO HE WAS and it’s like she wanted to be the woman who could “change” him rather than just letting him go. I only watched a few clips in AJLT and her st@|king Natasha was soooooo out of pocket

[@niabelizaire3596]

I think part of the reason why Sam didn’t call Carrie out because if she did, classic Carrie would’ve thrown Samantha’s affairs up in her face. But also, Samantha isn’t the judgmental type.

@@niabelizaire3596that makes sense, but Samantha also made Carrie fee like she wasn’t wrong at all, she made a lot of rude remarks about Natasha and brushed off Carrie cheating on Aiden and told her there was nothing wrong with what she was doing. She enabled a lot of her behavior

[@JL-ow5hp]

Natasha was actually nice and wasn’t bullying or trying to be mean to Carrie. Also Carrie calls Natasha a “simple girl” despite the fact that one of her best friends, charlotte is a quote on quote “simple girl” herself. Carrie wished she was like Natasha and Charlotte especially when it came to social positioning. Carrie has a class insecurity and it shows. Especially in the men she chooses as well. She always goes for men who are extremely rich and are “better” than her in terms of social standing. Which is why her and Aiden never worked out Aiden isn’t above her.

[@MysticDivinerLJ]

@@JL-ow5hp Charlotte kind of called Carrie out when she put two and two together that Carrie and Big were having an affair. As Charlotte said, “what if it were me?”.

[@gentle_rebel]

Carrie was obsessed with all the aspects of Natasha that Big chose to leave her for. The obsession comes from the fact that she will never be that way, and can't come to terms. I think the disfunction from Carrie came because it really messed with her self confidence and ego. Carrie often struggled with matters of the ego, and codependency. This is just my observation, but she often dismissed what her friends would say if it did not align with her "fantasy" of the moment. Carrie is a creative, emotional, and a free spirit - the trouble with that is that people like us don't seem to "grow up" with the rest around us. The fact that Natasha handled the situation so well, the entire time, messed with Carrie too. She could not stand that the more she fought against Natasha and Big being together, the more embarrassing it made her look. Carrie probably also really respected Natasha's archetype, seeing that Big fell so hard for her, AND the fact Big couldn't articulate his real emotions, I can see how it confused Carrie all the more. Carrie sees Big with Natasha and thinks, "this is the life Big was searching for, that's what he meant when he said he couldn't commit to me", and she says that part aloud. What she's thinking and not telling everyone, but you see in her actions, "I need to see what the big difference between her and me is, seeing that she is acting so opposite than me in this situation, I know I am in the wrong. I can't stand the thought of Big with someone else, but I know he can't be happy with me, however, if I can show him that I am better by disregarding my self worth and being wherever he needs me for an affair, perhaps I will win him over and show them BOTH that I am better and worthy of this." Of course this messes with Carries perception of herself and that becomes obvious when we see she just can't face Natasha. She knew she f*ed up, and she knew deep down she was way better than that behavior. We can tell Natasha's inner monologue is probably a bit calmer, but we KNOW she's at least thinking "man, I really hope I am wrong about all this," you can tell she really doesn't want the beef with Carrie, to be fighting over a man. Carrie couldn't get over the ego wound Big gave her when he cheated and left, and instead of aligning herself more with her own words from her column and with herself and her friends, she actively chose to pursue the favor of a Red Flag Man. Big also probably would have grown and had a happy life with Natasha if Carrie hadn't been so receptive of his stupidity. At the end of the day, I still blame the man. Big was a POS, never deserved Carrie OR Natasha imo with his manspreading all over the world, if that dude just knew what he wanted and acted like a good person, neither of those good women would have had to deal with any of this- I just wish there was a deleted scene somewhere of Samantha kicking him in the b@lls because I know she'd have been the one just waaaaaiting to do it for years.

[@dangerouswoman7101]

Natasha was a truly high-value woman, I find myself mesmerized by her character, and how she carries herself and only exists, she is mysterious, classy and the type of person who doesn't put her energy and waste her time into people like Carrie, that's why Carrie constantly stalks her and wants her approval because she hates her, but also hates the fact that she can't tolerate not being more like her. Also Big had a case of ''Madona whore complex'' that's why he settled for Natasha for the clean image she represented to society but he wasn't fully invested in her since he is a liar and a cheater as well as Carrie. Natasha is not only a beautiful face, she's the ultimate goal and her only existence lives in Carrie's head rent-free

[@steblair]

Natasha was 100% a victim. She was in her early to mid 20s when she married “Mr Big” So I think had Natasha been in her mid 30s she would have been more aggressive towards Carrie. I think the fact she chased Carrie out of her apartment showed her bravery and self worth.

Tbh I wanted to see more of Natasha. She’s who I wanted to be

[@alexs2247]

love the analysis Natasha had too little scene time for sure p.s your voice is soo calming

[@fashiongoddezz3462]

I may have to binge this video❤❤

[@MindfulTatiana]

Carrie and Big were both narcissistic.

[@CherDion]

Natasha is my new role model. I love this video as it helped me realize how I shouldn't be bitter because my ex was quite similar to big, while i was quite similar to Natasha. I always thought i was the toned down version of Carrie. which didn't seem right but i never looked at how i am similar to Natasha... Which is why im finally choosing peace over bitterness! thank you for this video!!

[@EmperatrizNyhnaLaw]

1:18 MIRANDA! 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@1Skorpia]

I loved natasha. I see why Big picked her. Carrie was trashy next to her. Desperate,pick me, crazy insecure, delusional, and self-absorbed. Carrie wouldn't give Big the time of day if he didn't have money. She NEVER talks about what she actually liked about him. Both Big and Carrie were cheaters. I think he respected natasha far more than Carrie in terms of her intelligence.

[@GabreyaB1990]

SMH. GOOD GRIEF. As I've said in the comments section for the Charlotte video, Carrie Bradshaw is the reason why I never really liked this show. Seems like her character gets much, much worse as she is analyzed. It's bad enough that she treats Charlotte like crap due to jealousy. But, constantly making judgments about Natasha, a woman she barely knew except for the fact that Big was married to her at one time, breaking her heart when she cheated with Big, and then kept stalking and harassing her is ATROCIOUS. Natasha was nothing but gracious and classy to her. I'm now wishing that there was a show about Natasha instead of Carrie. I would've loved to see her day-to-day life through her eyes. And yes, I wished that she would've been friends with Charlotte. Also, I had no idea that Carrie was still stalking Natasha in AJLT. I find that VERY DISTURBING AND ANNOYING. I wish that Natasha would've exclaimed, and excuse my French, "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" This right here shows that Carrie never changed. She is stuck in her ways. Whereas, Natasha moved on and has a wonderful life. Yes, the best revenge is living a successful, happy life. Not to mention, the trash took itself out when it came to Carrie still not being satisfied after she was able to finally have Big and marry him.

[@Saraht4]

Hey Iconic! I love your channel bestie!!!! Discovered it yesterday and ive been binging your videos! I finished the show this year and also started watching Just Like That... Carrie is not a good person, and most importantly NOT a girl's girl! She is male obsessed and a Pick Me, and also sort of bad friend to her 3 friends lol. My fav character from the franchise is Samantha!

[@GirlyGirl1994]

Natasha should file a restraining order against her.

[@Katie_Woo]

Natasha was the epitome of what Carrie couldn't be- tall, classy, successful working with Ralph Lauren and got the ring out of Big long before her. He was ready to marry Natasha without coercion and make her his wife, yet with Carrie is was just dating and her eventually as the side chick. Yes in the first movie he married carrie but not before jilting her. Natasha is someone that she aspires to be but doesnt get to be, for all of carries fashion and designer clothing it looks try hard next to Natasha's innate chicness and modelesque grace. Natasha lives rent free in her head because calling her names and trying to level her down with nastiness doesnt work in reality, it takes nothing away from her. At the end of the day carrie envies everything about her- her style, her class, her success and her ability to fit into Bigs life seamlessly

[@Alexa-uk8lj]

Natasha was so well-mannered she was safe. Big married Natasha because she allowed him to remain emotionally distant.

[@thetamekanicole]

This was an incredible analysis

[@Becoming_Els]

I watched this series back in college and I remember thinking Carrie was insufferable. I thought charlotte was sweet but seemed so naive. I’m definitely more like charlotte…well minus the money lol

[@VintageView]

Spot on! Perfectly said! ✨

[@usagi18]

I wanna be like Natasha when I grow up... too bad I'm 42 😞

[@savanataylor6052]

Bby please don’t think that way… you’re never too old to start standing up for yourself!

[@Bianca_author]

This video was sooo good! 💕💕 The writers want you to feel sorry for Carrie but how can you feel sorry for a woman who slept with a married man in his home? At least the first time they did their dirt in the hotel 😂

[@mila.milaaj]

I wanted to add this because it needs to be said. ALOT of older women are jealous of younger women, they're mean and condescending and look at you as if you know nothing and deserve to be disrespected because you're young. Meanwhile they were the worst in their younger days. I remember my first day working as a teacher, almost all of the older women were so rude and dismissive of anything I had to say, they thought their way was the only way. I am very outspoken, so I kindly nipped that in the bud, but I see it so much with my colleagues and they're always so scared to speak up. That's why another reason why Carrie didn't like Natasha, she felt like because she was older than her she should bow down to her and accept her disrespect, because she was young and didn't "understand" her and Big's "love", a lot of older women still behave like mean girls, they haven't matured and take their bitterness out on young women. I also don't like younger women who are condescending to older women.

[@danikara12]

I love your SATC vids ❤. This was so well done Natasha was classy all the way while Carrie was going crazy trying to find something wrong with her. I remember that episode where she went to a function and Natasha couldn’t attend and she sent an apology letter and I guess she had a grammatical error or something and she couldn’t wait to call Miranda….like how petty are you?🙄 I hope you do more SATC content I love it!! 💖

[@hjscollages]

Carrie was obsessed with Natasha! Even after all these years Carrie still had Natasha on her mind.

[@QUEENVLOGZZBYKALIOFFICIAL]

Yyeesss finalyyyy been waiting in this boo yyeessss

[@goldengirlll]

can you make a SATC playlist? love ur vids 🤍

[@iconicallyiconic]

Thanks honey, I appreciate it 🩷 I’ll definitely make a SATC playlist ✨

[@goldengirlll]

@@iconicallyiconic thank you! 🤍🤍🫶🏿

[@everlynevins]

Glad she dumped Big and married John Wick.

[@nyasiacobbs135]

I love this video and this is just an idea but can you do a Gilmore girls video of the fact that lane, rory and lorelai had not like other girls syndrome

[@iconicallyiconic]

Thank you honey 🩷✨ Oh I’vespoken about that in one of my GG videos, but I have some more GG content coming very soon and I’ll definitely be adding that to the notes.

[@OzmaOfOzz]

Lane truly was NLOG though. Much more than Rory and Lorelai. Because Lane truly had a hard upbringing and the way she managed to make her own path was truly remarkable. Whereas Rory had everything she wanted and Lorelai always had a safety net to fall onto if she wanted.

[@pluraliatantum3055]

I wonder how long Carrie stalked Natasha and Big until she realized "they're happy/we're over" and stopped call Natasha stick figure with no soul

[@glamdawling]

Wow I didn’t know Natasha came back for the reboot!

[@katszabo13]

Natasha and Lindsay. These were the girls with the dignity we should have admired instead of the Carries and Rory’s

[@MelisaManase]

This is a great video

[@juliafedorenkova5287]

6:25 it even felt like she wanted to hurt Natasha. After the affair is over, Carrie doesn’t think about her ex-boyfriend or Big, she thinks about Natasha! It was about showing her dominance over her and still feeling like a good person. Like, you stole Big from me and then I stole him back. “I’m so sorry about it!”

[@brahmabkitty03]

I gotta rewatch sex in the city bc Carrie is not who I thought she was

[@elisabeth9934]

Carrie is the type of toxic friend that flirts with your boyfriend because she is jealous of your life

[@lightdove7]

This was a great vid ❤ May you please do an analysis on Charlotte next 🙏🏾

[@honey420luv]

My name is Natasha 🥹🥰

[@mayabeanz]

Excellent breakdown! Carrie was a terrible person, with terrible fashion.

[@rhonnichan]

I loved Natasha and how she carried herself throughout all of Carrie and Big's affair. She already knew what was up and quickly excorted out without causing a scene or fight. She gave Big one chance and he blew it, which is why that million dollar guilt check was quickly sent her way. Both Carrie and Big carried themselves like dumb 20 year olds while the actual 20 something year old carried herself with grace and dignity and I think Carrie wished she was that which is why she not only stalked Natasha but would go out to seek her approval but she could never be Natasha
