The trailer starts, appropriately enough, with shiny, shiny New York City at night. Then Carrie asks Mr. Big -- or should I say "John"? -- for a kiss. Her last single girl kiss. There's our first clue that the movie has a Carrie-Big wedding in the works. Because, you know, the way to return to the ultimate show about single women is with a movie about a wedding. Way to keep fans believing that it's okay to be a single woman in this world. Then we see Carrie and her girls. And Charlotte reading from a wedding announcement about "ultimate single girl" Carrie Bradshaw marrying John James Preston (I'm not kidding. They really did give him three first names). "John" then asks Carrie if "we" should get "you" a diamond. She says, no, just a really big closet. The last time she was unsure about an engagement ring, she ended up not marrying Aidan (the right choice, in case you were wondering which guy I wanted her to end up with). Carrie's narration tells us that she assumed that if she and her friends got their fairytale endings, it would be the end of the story. By fairytale endings, she apparently means being in a relationship, because the montage that shows while she says this is: Charlotte, Harry, and their daughter on a merry-go-round; Samantha and Smith; Miranda, Steve, and Brady playing on their deck; Carrie and "John" looking at a huge apartment. Carrie and "John" bicker about the wedding, though, right as voiceover Carrie says "But real life ... always has a twist." We get to see her in a perfectly wonderful wedding dress, but then we see a cell phone drop on said dress and perhaps all is not right with the fairytale ending. From there, Carrie apparently dyes her hair brown, hires Jennifer Hudson as her personal assistant, and continues hanging out with the ladies. Meanwhile, Steve apologizes to Miranda, saying it meant nothing to him (and, if he cheated, I will kill this movie. KILL it, I tell you), Samantha continues to be a huge cliche (she believes in botox, not marriage, see? Because the two are related in...no way that I can think of) and Charlotte's pregnant. There will be happiness and sadness, it looks like, but the moral of the story will be that these friends are family, and will stick together through it all. It's a winning formula for this Sex and the City, so I suggest it stick to that.

Thank's for The Good Post!! We can never have enough new content. Some New Vids Released At The Live Girls website as well.
I suspect cufflinks are another phenomenom in mens fashion. There's really no other accessory a man can wear which can add such a lot to his appearance without subtracting from his class and elegance. Jewellery, wild clothing styles, and other eye catching trends are very good, but not one of them have the class that cufflinks provide. Most men just don't realize how much it can boost their appearance.
