"Sex And The City" High School Edition?



"Sex and the City" is getting a little too desperate for my taste. I used to like "Sex and the City" a lot because it had a no-nonsense view of life and of course - sex. It was very straight-forward about women's views and women's lives, which made it very "relatable." They didn't seem to try too hard.

But this time around, we have Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell to write teen editions for Sex and the City, hmmm... milking the cow much? A little too much!

Entitled "Carrie's Diaries" the teen novels will narrate Carrie Bradshaw's high school years and will be published under Harper Collins. The books will provide an inside look at Carrie's friendships, romances and how she realised her dream of becoming a writer

Apparently they want to capitalize on Sarah Jessica's character as a stand-out person, as quoted "Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd - she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene."

The first book comes out in 2010. If it makes a good sell, you might want to expect it in the big screen or as a television series some time soon too.
