#AJLT: C-line Style Capture

Now yall KNOW, if you know, that I can dress my ass off and style on naker’s so hard, but a good pal of mine is THEE fashionista. And if And Just Like That aint gonna give us Big, they will give us fashions. And so I wondered, who would be a great person to kick off recapping the styles of our tried and true threesome, none other than Chicago’s very own, Cline from the Nine! Take it away, C-line! Lilly… oh Lily!!!!  Lil Mama opened her scene with quilted buttercup colored Chanel boots, a Chanel backpack and Chanel brooch.  Her arsenal of Chanel was heightened with her beautifully wrinkly English Bulldog!  Recital look. Her Oscar de la Renta dress was everything. Baby girl has STYLE, that dress was badass.  Lisa Todd Wexley… Sis is about to be a problem, a GOOD problem!  She’s serving 40’s successful Black woman energy and I’m here for it.  How do I know she’s bad, because she’s rocking a long caftan over a Issye Miyake drop crotch printed jumper with Guiseppe Zanotti splatter sandals like it’s nothing!  I will be stalking her short choppy bob. Oh, and I’ll tell you why I know we will love her??? It’s the Rosie Assoulin balloon-sleeve dress for ME!!!!  Charlotte… I want to start this by saying I have always loved her fashions.  She always gives prim and proper with a smidge of sexy which had me wearing tea length skirts in the early 2000’s with tank tops, heels and cardigans with my high ponytail.  Fast forward and her style is STILL on point!  We were reintroduced to Classic Char at the restaurant in her full tea length white maxi skirt and hot pink GoGoSilk blouse with Stuart Weitzman pumps. I would expect nothing less than her in that pink tweed St. John dress with her Louis Vuitton Capucines bag. I love that she’s not rocking LM monogram.  Carrie, Carrie, Carrie!!!!! Her opening scene was quintessential Carrie but my eyes instantly went to her Saint Laurent “Liya” sandals. I salivated over these in Vegas and stopped myself from buying them. Gotta learn to live with regrets. And dammit, only Carrie can rock not one but TWO crossbody purses at once.  Her recital outfit was one that my friend Lindsay and I wore from 2005 – 2013 and baby, we were faithful.  Loose crop pants with blouses and heels!!!! Couldn’t tell us NOTHING! People fear crops but give these streets a peek of your cleavage and ankles baby!!! I naturally swooned when she popped on her wedding Choo’s with this outfit.  Her fune outfit was a snapshot of why I fell in love with her style. Black v-neck bodysuit, full tea length skirt fluffed with tulle (because yes, ankles are sexy I keep telling yall!) and heels. The headpiece. The pearls. Bitch I cried. This was Breakfast at Tiffany’s meets West Village realness.  Miranda… I’m not commenting because Miranda Hobbes is giving Hyde Park / Karen vibes.   For this week’s show recap, https://myaseals.aiwebdesignz.com/recaps/and-just-like-that-he-gone

And Just Like That…..He Gone

Man, who would have thought that in an episode where Carrie said the word “pussy” and we were treated to the stomach churning sight of John James Preston jagging off that those wouldn’t be the most shocking moments of the premiere of the Sex and the City reboot “And Just Like That.” Let me tell you how bad those final moments hit me. My intended was on a conference call. My first yell of “CALL THE POLICE” left him slightly startled. Then WHAT ARE YOU DOING BITCH?! scared him. My the time I was full out sobbing he and our trusty dog son were tearing ass to get back to me to make sure I was alright. I was not. To him, I was. But upon hearing the words “and just like that, big died” (or whatever she said that I barely heard thru my sobs) I truly was not okay. And so this is how the creative team behind a very highly anticipated continuing saga wants to start off – with me, texting one of the writers (humblebrag) how I would murder that entire writers room. Lets take on this episode with a character by character recap shall we? Carrie – Gotta say, I didn’t feel a whole lot of character development here, probably because she’s almost in the same situation with first met her in, with a ring from her beloved and larger bag. While not a perfect friend, she’s always been a pretty good one. So good that she misses out on a SCHEDULED departure to go on a weekend jaunt with big to watch charlottes kid in what I am sure will be her one and only piano recital – tho got damn lily played the hell outta that song. She’s always been a bit of a prude, but why join a podcast that you had to know sex was gonna be part of and act scared to talk bout sex after years of having a column called, well, yall know. As for her new “job” it very much gave me cringe. Just seems in place to check alot of boxes, but thats television in this era…..anyhoo, so as lily’s piano crescendos, big’s cycling intensifies and my eyes begin to water. Its clear what’s coming but you hope against it. And when she finally returns home to find him dying but not dead, you still have a bit of hope – til she said what she had said. RIP Mr. Big and RIP Carries wedding choos …..sad, so sad. Miranda – So this one gave me pause. I don’t give a fuck that Charlotte thinks her gray hair ages Miranda directly, but also Charlotte indirectly, but I do give a fuck that a woman that spent months getting dicked down by Blair Underwood is suddenly very confuzzled by black people. I know getting black dick doesn’t equate to being an ally, but all the unforced errors? I dunno, maybe this is yet another sign of the times….white folks that didn’t see color are starting to see too much color and it blinds them. BUT that notwithstanding, you aint gonna tell me miranda is so damn white that her red assed son is having sex in her house to the point that he’s leaving used condoms on the bedroom floor. And ya daddy not being able to hear don’t get you no sympathy points. I was probably 48 the first time I kissed a man around my mom and I just turned 46. Read that as many times as you need to get it. As we can totally see, Miranda was part of the PussyHat Dolls, spurred by societal injustices to leave her corporate firm to return to school to become a justice warrior, only to find a black assed instructor who aint impressed by her, but will soon become her friend….if the previews are to be believed. Charlotte – now im writing this bout six days out from the premier, so I cant really remember all that much about Charlotte other than her life seems as perfect as usual. Oh and her youngest daughter Rose is likely Trans, or Bi, or a Lesbian, or just don’t like Oscar de la Renta dresses, but it seems obvious her kids are gonna be her storyline and her fabulous relationship with Nicole Ari Parker. Im rooting for you Charlotte, give me more to write aboutcha! Samantha – Oh I know she’s gone, but her presence looms large and false. Apparently the biggest author since Stephen King, Carrie Bradshaw, stopped writing books and dropped Samantha as a publicist, a sin so egregious that she cut off her ENTIRE friend group. Samantha, who once blew a delivery guy and got caught….. Samantha, who once wore a bad wig to chase down Richard…. Samantha, who fucked a kid who showed up shrieking how much he loved her outside her window….. was SO ashamed by being fired by her friend that she ran off to London, only to be resurrected in the form of a lone funeral spray bearing her name. NO. NO MAAM. Sirs and madams, NO. I think I read today that she would consider returning in some form….or maybe that was about Bethenny Frankel and the Real Housewives of New York, two developments that would make me very happy.
