Sex and the City II?

HBO seems to be pining for its Sex and the City days. Two years since the highly successful series bid a sad farewell, the cable network has quietly initiated plans to launch a follow-up show—except this time, it’s reality-based. Producers from HBO’s “real-life” series, which has yet to be titled, recently sent out questionnaires to a bevy of fashionable PYTs in an attempt to gauge their interest and potential participation, with the premise of “following the lives of a group of glamorous and dynamic girlfriends in their 20s, living in Manhattan.” Among those said to have been approached—and who, for the most part, declined the offer—are Calvin Klein publicist Annelise Peterson, Harrison & Shriftman publicist Ferebee Bishop, Vanity Fair executive fashion editor Alexis Bryan, and Earnest Sewn public relations director Eleanor Ylvisaker. All declined to comment on the situation, but another “it-girl” that was contacted said, “The idea is to show that real girls can, and do indeed, lead those Sex and the City lives—that we’re not all pretend.” -- Fashion Week Daily

I have to say I'm not all that excited, why would they try to fix somehting that isn't broken. I mean I miss Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda as much as the next aspiring NYC fashionista but these people will not be the same as those characters that hold a special place in our hearts. I suppose if they stop trying to spin it as a reality version of SATC maybe I can get onboard but until then I will boycott it. That is if they can ever find a real life "it-girl" who will agree to it.
