I loved that Samantha was proud of her beauty, despite the teasing from the other women. Since so many heroines are portrayed as being insecure about their appearances, it's refreshing to see the opposite portrayal.

This, screams more views good post btw 👗👘👙👠💄🕶🕶🕶🕶

💯💯👏🏼👏🏼

Samantha definitely showed insecurity about her looks. She got Botox. She also consulted a plastic surgeon.

[@prtdiva]

@@proudatheist2042 Doesn’t mean you don’t like how you look overall just because you have some insecurities. I love how I look AND I wish I had bigger boobs. Overall, I’m very secure in myself, even with my flaws. Plus, I believe Samantha was considering the plastic surgery later in life when she got with Smith, who was much younger, and she was photographed alongside him in a magazine. Seeing yourself in photos can make almost anyone notice imperfections about themselves.

[@amandaredd3057]

I LOVE when she says "she just had a baby, what's your excuse?!" 😂

[@jaclynsanture6643]

I do too, those duds could take their sexism and put it where the sun doesn't shine.

[@rmlfilms123]

I do too, but couldn't hear it in this video. Too much talking over it.

[@terria4698]

Samantha has always been my anthem for the childfree (NOT childless) woman.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Yes indeed love her ❤

[@bennymora3086]

👍🏼

[@inelhuayocan_aci]

Sounds more like an indictment.

[@charlottebuton2880]

Thank you for your comment, I hate hearing the word childless instead of childfree. Loads of us chose not to have any for a variety of reasons and are super happy. :)

[@proudatheist2042]

Well, both terms means the same thing.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I absolutely love that samantha had a party celebrating her being childfree 💛💛💛

[@blugreen123]

Carrie could be annoying AF, but "A Woman's Right to Shoes" is one of my favorite episodes. Carrie was right to be pissed about her married mom friend invalidating her life choices.

[@annejohnson5875]

Especially since it was the married mom friend's fault that Carrie's shoes got stolen in the first place.

[@Espressoqueen9894]

She stole the shoes come on 😂 she had to because look how offended she kept acting like that every time Carrie brought the subject

[@bliplox]

@@Espressoqueen9894then she’d just return it instead of buying new ones

[@ruekie]

That's the only episode that I really identify myself with her

[@marblecinemacore]

Honestly, Samantha taking off her wig during a speach was one of the best moments of the last season.

[@lordeflockatee3399]

I’m surprised Charlotte still showing up to Brady’s first birthday party didn’t make the list

[@jaclynsanture6643]

I Love and Ador that sence, the dress, the hairstyle and sunglasses.

[@MR-qz4zj]

Which episode?

[@Dani-so5mg]

Carrie rejected Aidan's proposal not because she wasn't ready for marriage but because she was always waiting for Big. If Big came out of nowhere and said it, she would've said yes in a second

[@rhyrhyrhy]

I just watched the episode where he first cheated on him and now I cannot believe he propsed after that

[@1105grumpy]

Let's not forget the fact that now that Big is gone, Carrie is suddenly ready for Aidan. Ugh...

[@kikiTHEalien]

​​@@1105grumpyI was certain that they are going to dig up this ancent skeleton for the new show. The Big/Aiden storyline completely overtook Carrie's character, it is sad and so bizzare that they virtually gave up on the character played by the producer of the shows/films and reduced her story to a soap opera, while all the rest of the characters overcame numerous obticles and grew. One would think that Carrie would finally return to herself and become her own woman after her great love story got completed in no uncertain terms and Samantha left a self-sufficient-woman-with-a-healthy-ego-shaped gaping hole in the story, but no, she has to go back to the person she cheated on. Gross.

[@karina.kagramanova]

“I love me more” is my favorite moment of the whole series! I would’ve put it on the first place)

[@kikiTHEalien]

Samantha's Richard storyline was very well placed in contrast to Carrie's Mr. Big storyline to show how self-suffient people with a healthy ego deal with a situation where they get obsesses and lose theirselves in another person. Both women went as far as cheating on the men who actually wanted to be a part of their lives, but Samantha reached the point where she realized that she is not herself around Richard, so he couldn't possibly be good for her and she returned to herself, while Carrie never did.

[@ellenchavez2043]

#13: She didn't rely on a man, she relied on her friend to lend her the money. She and Aiden didn't want the same things..he wanted to settle in, have a house and kids. She didn't. She wanted a companion who liked the nightlife.

[@1105grumpy]

But Big didn't want that either.

[@yeahno.2698]

Nah Samantha Carrie n Miranda talking about their abortions n how it's less than ideal but it happens was actually so amazing to see women empowering women in the hardship of one of the hardest situations/ decisions/ moments of a woman's life

[@Keiaradise]

Disagree with #15, BFFR Carrie was about to be homeless and Big gave her the money no questions asked. Instead of just taking the money that she needed, she shamed her friend into giving it to her. How is that empowering?

[@charlottebuton2880]

The right decision would have been to sell the bloody shoes that cost a fortune. Ofc that never crossed her mind. 😅

[@elisaballin2318]

Samantha was honestly the best character.

[@christinesentman5437]

As for Charlotte, I think you should not quit her job. Never let a man bring in the money into the home. This is how they can control you.

[@samuelcollantes1175]

What better way to start off this week than yo celebrate women? Happy monday morning Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I'm glad miranda stood up for herself magda was totally wrong

[@AmyLSchulte]

Time for a rewatch!

[@punter1]

I love when you do SATC segments, please keep them coming they are slay

[@Charlotte66666]

I loved this series.

[@sherryelle225]

Granted, Carrie had a few messy financial issues but she didn't expect her friends to bail her out. She told them no when they offered. What bothered Carrie, was the fact that Charlotte had been talking about taking a volunteer job and walking around her million dollar apartment that she got in her divorce agreement, which her giant engagement ring on and when the other two offered to help Carrie, Charlotte looked away. Then she wanted to preach to Carrie about standing on her own? I can see why she was upset with Charlotte but in the end it wasn't Charlotte's job to fix her problem. But she should have offered something. Charlotte does end up helping Carrie and she pays her back. It was difficult, to be honest, to see Carrie tear up Big's check. I don't think I could have done that with the terror of being homeless laying in wait.

[@annejohnson5875]

Carrie has a huge sense of entitlement and she's very self centered. First Aidan wanted her to keep the engagement ring but she refused. She could have sold that for her down payment. Then she tore up Big's check. Then Samantha and Miranda offered help, but she turned them down too. And as for Charlotte living in a million dollar apartment, she was also desperately looking for work in an art gallery and all she could get was a non paying position. She had a home, but no gainful employment. I don't see why after everyone else's help, Carrie felt entitled to chew out Charlotte. And Carrie did get herself into her financial problems. I don't see why it was uniquely incumbent upon Charlotte to bail her out, especially after so many other offers of assistance.

[@charliejoson9145]

​​@@annejohnson5875 - someone commented on the same issue with regarding to that scene between Carrie and Charlotte (and Carrie badgering Charlotte to help her) on a different MsMojo video about SATC. That commenter seemingly defended Carrie's action towards Charlotte aa [I'm just paraphrasing the exact comment] "[Carrie] needed reassurance that Charlotte was there to help her". I was suprised at the comment and I wanted to reply but I would be just wasting my precious time

[@chanoy._v8758]

Charlotte and Carrie both made decisions that got them where they were up to that point. Charlotte wanted the white picket fence life style and Carrie was a bit unfocused but she always seemed to like the night life. Nothing wrong with either. Charlotte apartment was the consolation for her divorce and it can be argued that if she and her husband had children, by law she would’ve been entitled to more. I think what she got was totally fair. If Carrie and Aiden had gotten married, eventually divorced, Carrie could’ve argued for the apartment too. All the other ladies were making decisions that took care of themselves outside of men or eventually with spouse. Carrie seemed to have been hoping around with Peter Pan syndrome buying shoes with no real hope of leveling up in life. It’s totally fine if that’s what you want but don’t expect everyone else to clean up your mess when reality kicks in. Charlotte always seemed like everyone else punching bag. I wish there had been scenes of her paying Charlotte getting payments back from Carrie. Like show her being responsible especially to her friend for ones.

[@aprilgonzalez7893]

Because it was Big was the reason I felt she shouldn’t have torn up the check.

[@Some_guy_passing_by]

Eh , I'm with Charlotte on this one . I owe nothing to a friend who owns 80000 worth of shoes , a few birkins, tears up a big cheque and wants me to offer her rent money/ mortgage. Charlotte was too generous and the show never showed Carrie paying Charlotte back .

[@emmajaynegoins6325]

Samantha and Miranda are honestly the best characters in the show, and best female characters in any show at the time. Fierce, independent, funny as hell and unapologetically themselves, which was quite rare to see during the late 90s/early 00s. Love them

[@annejohnson5875]

Why is it empowering for Carrie to tear up Big's check? She was broke due to her own self inflicted financial problems.

[@ValC-vn5vl]

It’s empowering to stand on your own two feet and not rely on a man to fix it for you!

[@annejohnson5875]

@@ValC-vn5vl then why did she demand Charlotte bail her out? She couldn't fix her own problems and disempowered herself by spending on frivolities.

[@ValC-vn5vl]

She didn’t demand that Charlotte bail her out, she simply asked. Carrie realized that she could do it herself without Bigs check. Carrie could fix her own situation by herself. That is what is empowering!

[@Some_guy_passing_by]

[@jenniferzackschewski2189]

I haven’t watched Sex and the City, but I do enjoy watching these videos. A question I have: why didn’t Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda come to Carrie’s birthday dinner that was talked about in #1?

[@EffortlesslyEffervescent]

Everyone was stuck in traffic, I think because of construction, so the roads were closed and Stanford ended up at a different restaurant with a similar name. Carrie didn't have a cell phone though so she didn't know that everyone was trying to get a hold of her by calling her home phone (Miranda tried to get the number for the restaurant from 411 but the operator couldn't find the place since she didn't know how to spell it). She came home to a crap ton of messages from everyone explaining why they weren't there yet and trying to get there.

[@cuteyhoney1994]

If this list reveals anything, it's that we all need friends like Sam and Charlotte ❤❤

[@MiaCole50]

What about when Samantha is turning down that dude who walked up to her at the bar and Carrie just turns and puts her arm around Samantha and hugs her. That does not feel like they don’t like each other.

[@cuteyhoney1994]

Samantha and Charlotte were my girls (in my head). I love them 💕 As for the missing shoes, I wouldn't give her the money either 😅. As for Aiden, I can respect Carrie's choice to say "No" to Aiden, BUT, I can't nor will I ever overlook the fact she led a good man on despite all he did for her. She really didn't respect him.

[@Juliglock]

I have to say not all choices are created equal. There is a difference between a woman's choice that perpetuates and caters to the patriarchy or one that doesn't.

[@wandasays5438]

Continuity error. Miranda buys a large apartment, too big for her single self. Then Steve and the baby move in and all of a sudden, her bed is in the dining room. And they have to move to Brooklyn.

[@Facetterdk]

Why is being alone and a tendency not to be able to commit and always putting yorself first empowering? What is wrong with love and commitment?

[@Naijella86]

I’m halfway through but it’s worth noting that Miranda and Steve never stayed together so when you say that no matter how far we’ve come - please note that when women propose to men it’s a recipe for disaster. In my real life I have come across this and the marriages never last. If the man wants to marry you, he will ask.

[@lynnevetter]

ew

[@aislingrvr]

Really? It never works out? Do you have research and statistics to back this up?

[@kikiTHEalien]

I hate that they got together at all, and especially that she kept his baby. That was Miranda's demise. It was sweet in the show, but in real life it is a giant sacrifice which generations of women have been doing, because they don't have a choice. Making her have an unwanted baby without a partner and her insisting that is was a good choice completely jumped the shark for me personally.

[@Panwere36]

And it was all based on lies...
