So it's about three whores and their mother?

I've said before--in all seriousness--that I used to love SEX AND THE CITY until I got to around the third season and finally realized that it wasn't meant to be a satire. Well, I've come up with an addendum with the following epiphany/theory:

SEX AND THE CITY is a Bret Easton Ellis story if you just replace cocaine with shoes.

I'm thinking of putting that line in THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES: HOW HEFNERIAN, but I've already been warned about my use of esoteric/geek references losing my audience. If only I had Dennis Miller in my audience, he'd laugh.

Oh. My. God.

I never watched the show, but now I think I kind of understand it.

If you ever do see it, let me know if I'm onto something. I think I am, but you're the only person so far to comment. It works the more I think about it; just imagine the creators holding the characters from LESS THAN ZERO and RULES OF ATTRACTION as heroes and role models.

It really is highly unlikely I will ever watch it, but I'll try to keep this at the back of my mind in case it comes up in conversation.

"Sex and the City" wasn't a satire?! Oh, dear...

I would laugh. And I'd bring a whole bunch of people who would too, just so I won't be the only one.

Then please do! I'll have six performances in July! I need asses! ... In seats, I mean! :)

I thought it was funny.

But then, I know who Ellis is.

Maybe I'll get a quarter of the audience laughing any given night. You people will be my base.

But then, VENTURE BROS. gets away with shit like that all the time. "You've drained enough blood from me to print a Kiss comic book!"

I heard that last night, too. hehe
