Update!!!

May 30...2008

You had to have been living in a cave for quite some time not to know the movie version of Sex and the City hits theatres today.



I can easily say I was never a huge fan of the show. I watched the first couple of seasons and then got bored and moved on to something else. But the show itself was good for a few reasons.



First, it turned the tables and made men the sex objects while the ladies called the shots. Two wrongs don't make a right, but if any men out there were offended with the way male characters were herded in-and-out of the show like choice cattle, well, now you know how women feel!



Not like most women ever had a problem talking about sex, but the show definitely made it a lot easier for all women to speak and live their truth, by showing a range of female characters struggling and thriving with their life choices.



And like it or not, the show spawned a string of chick-lit hits and glorified being a girl, doing girly things, and spending your hard-earned cash on girly clothes and shoes. The most vital though, was a revival of the female spirit.



That was all very evident at a Sex and the City-themed party last night on Queen West, that was also a fundraiser for the StepStones summer camp.



The program takes less-fortunate girls and sends them up north for a week-long camping trip. The young ladies do everything from playing games and learning how to swim, to conflict resolution techniques and how to boost their self-esteem in a healthy way.

So whether you're going to check out the Sex and the City movie, or have no interest in it at all, the message here to women is to love yourself and take care of the women of our future!



You can do that in so many ways. But if you don't know where to start, check out stepstonesforyouth.com, or bbbst.com, because a lot of girls out there could use a saving grace or big sister, and all the wisdom and kindness you have to offer!





But Whatever!
