Sister Act

Is this sisterhood? Silence in the face of misogyny?

The next morning we grabbed coffee and bagels and paid another sum to see the Sex and the City movie a second time. The fashion was just as fun this time around; the females' fates even more insulting.

Is this sisterhood, I wonder?

In other news ...
Lily Allen in a bloody Bambi dress with freshly dyed Gwen Stefani-pink hair got totally sloshed and had to be carried out of the Glamour magazine Women of the Year awards. This, after days of crotch flashing, topless sunbathing and reportedly getting kicked off a Cannes yacht party for similarly boozy behavior, makes me wonder: Is Lily the new Courtney Love? Now she just needs to throw junk at Madonna while Kurt Loder tries to interview her. Wait. Is Kurt Loder still alive? I honestly hope so. He always seemed the sanest of the MTVsters. MTV's current competitive reality show Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods (Mondays at 10 p.m.) is funnier than expected. Haylie Duff is the host and, like, the contestants' mentor. How is Haylie Duff qualified to give anyone advice on a successful career? Much more promising: TV Land's She's Got the Look (Wednesdays at 10 p.m.), a modeling competition for "women over 35" (i.e., me in a decade). Oh my God. First America's Next Top Model tells me I'm plus-sized, now She's Got the Look tells me I'm almost officially ancient. Great. Just great. I'm probably too old to be on the Real World too. Just checked. Yup, I am. At least that's a relief. So, it turns out my pregnant friends are buying their maternity wear at Forever 21. Wait, what? See, I'm not imagining it! This maternity-wear trend has got to stop! Enough with the floofy tent dresses, empire-waisted tunics and flowing maxi dresses! Yves Saint Laurent, RIP, would not approve. I approve: of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson. They seem so happy together.
