I do realise that the title of this series could easily be replaced by that of my 'Evolutionary Failures' series, but I digress.
Bogans across the planet have been in a flutter as the show that gave many women the courage to talk about their vaginas is released as a movie in a worldwide, Manolo wearing, stupid hat donning, Cosmopolitan drinking vagina fest. Ahh..... the Sex and the City movie, complete with witty tagline - "Get Carried Away". Get it? Cause the main character is called Carrie, see. And to get carried away is a phrase often us- ah, forget it. Rest assured, it is a clever pun that perfectly matches this clever movie's polka dot heels.
In case those among you have been distracted by, I don't know, the Middle East Peace Process or elections in Zimbabwe, the movie opened this week in New York. It has since emerged that Sarah Jessica Parker, the skinny filly (horse pun intended) who stars as Carrie, wore a dress to the premiere THAT SOMEONE ELSE WORE AT SOME OTHER PARTY AT SOME OTHER TIME. I know, I know. I'll give you a minute to recover from the shock.
Better now? When questioned about the sordid affair, SJP commented:
"What they did was so short-sighted. It's just unethical and disappointing that they would allow the dress to be worn again"
I'm not even going to comment on the irony of someone talking about the wearing of a dress as being short-shighted. Nup, I got bigger fish to fry. Unethical? 6 year old kids sewing shoes in a sweatshop 22 hours a day is unethical. Using a blue travel ten when you really need a red travel ten is unethical. Passing around half frozen dumplings at yum cha is unethical. But allowing a dress to be worn more than once? Sweaty, perhaps. Completely un-newsworthy, absolutely. But unethical? I fear not, my long nosed friend.
