I would support this becoming an AJLT recap Substack.

My sister is a huge SATC fan and she always talks about the head scarves season. So so bad.

Somehow agree that The One Everybody Hates was a slight breath of fresh air after so many terrible ones! I’m gonna have to do another SATC watch just to keep a lookout for other bad outfits. There’s so many.

I laughed way too hard at the Kohl’s cash burn. You’re not wrong and honestly I’ve never really liked Carrie’s outfits except the Paris Versace dress.

Love this! AJLT is fully insane but also can't not watch. There are ZERO stakes, everyone is rich! SATC was not always a fantasy which made it have edge. Plot twist should be Carrie gets Erika Jayne'd, Big was a crook and her money goes away and she has to get scrappy, downsize everything and start writing again.

Ooh I'm into the Erika Jayne idea! How is Carrie not even a writer anymore?? I would love for ONE of the characters to have a meaningful arc that feels true to who they are but I'd settle for coherent writing and Carrie going on dates again.

All I see is facts. Thank you for this hilarious (and historically accurate) piece of writing - best way to start my day. There are too many hilarious lines to pick a favorite but “kohls cash” and “laura Ingalls wilder skirt” really got me 😂😂😂 also the pink and green IS starting to look cute after seeing the others. I’m dying hahah.

The sad part is there were so many alternative wedding options in the Vogue photo shoot montage! I agree, her wedding dress was an epic fail

I agree with all your takes. Yes, the tie dye capris would have been so cute if executed differently! And her wedding look was total trash, accurate description.

French Open is waaaay better and they sell lobster and champagne.

My new band name is Limp Gingham. Thanks for that.

Loved reading this and looking forward to reading more! But I also love when Carrie makes mistakes and dresses like a weirdo

Also, thank you asking if Kristin Davis forgot to act. I adore her, but she seemed so robotic and over the top in s3:1.

Yes, thank you. I think AJLT is so stupid but I can’t stop watching. It might almost be good…I think maybe in a few years we’ll all appreciate it more. I remember hating g SATC (thought it was soooo cheesy and dumb), but flash forward to my late twenties-thirties and I can’t get enough of it. Maybe I related to it more? Anyway love this and will subscribe in the hopes of seeing more SATC/AJLT content.

Ha I know, I wonder if I go back and rewatch season 1 of AJLT, it'll be like a masterpiece now (no way, right??).
