【正文】 roduce the bags and the bracelets...with a little humor. Kind of, 39。39。 used to be. We39。 jammed in...where the word 39。ve handed us here is essentially...your newspaper column with the word 39。39。t Vogue. There it was, the article I39。 Idea Every morning, millions of New Yorkers Leave their crowded apartments...and head out to the even more crowded streets, on their way to work. Today, I was one of them. Sometimes, a girl just needs a new start. I had a new do, a new mortgage, and, therefore, a new job. I had just submitted my first freelance article...for one of the most relevant and provocative magazines...on the newsstands today, at least to me. Vogue. Also known as Mecca, where I belonged. This isn39。39。39。t know what you39。m really fucking late. I can39。m 1 40. Happy birthday, baby. Get in. It39。t laugh at me, but...maybe we could be each other39。s just the four of us. You have to e, it39。s just me, Charlotte! I just aged 35 more years. What are you doing here? I39。m here. They said you just left. Where are you? We39。t know how to spell II Cantinori for the idiot at 411. Get a cell phone! Carrie, it39。m in traffic. They39。m sorry! God! By the time I got home...I had fallen into an emotional hole so deep... only a fireman without a collarbone could rescue me. You have 14 messages. Honey, I39。m sorry! Marilyn Monroe, do me a fucking favor, get off the road! I39。re standing! It39。. Okay, thanks. Can I bring you some champagne now? Not yet. Good, great, excellent. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday, dear Marta Happy birthday to you Fuck, I39。s right. Here you go. Enjoy. Thank you. Hi. Hi. Would you like a drink whilst waiting? I39。s perfect in its splendor. But I39。s not just about being single. Everyone has a sore spot that needs a little edy routine....let alone a poopy diaper. And so Miranda laughed. Not because it was particularly funny...but because it was kind. They told me you were inside. Am I disturbing you? May I join you? I was thinking about you yesterday. You and the work that you do. I was at the market. They39。Where are the kids?39。t someone for everyone. There it was. The truth. No Hallmark hope, no twodrink minimum. So how is Joe? You39。m not. Look, he39。s going to be at ll Cantinori, at 8:30 . And if you39。s midnight here in New York, and it39。s not guys. Lately, it39。ll always be in style. I used to masturbate to a busboy who was rude to me once. What do you think that means? Fine, the cheese stands alone. Come on, Charlotte. Get that judgmental puss off, and join in. Who do you fantasize about? No, it39。s imagination. It39。t have him. It39。s St. Francis giving his coat to the poor. Samantha Jones, public relations. lf you change your mind about the benefit...or anything. And just like that, Samantha went from Mr. No Soul... to Mr. all Souls. After church, most people go out for pancakes. Samantha wasn39。m in public relations. And I was thinking maybe I could help put a benefit together. Something classy, respectful. I can guarantee Donald Trump and Marlo Thomas. Thank you, but here at all Souls, we39。 bien, gracias. You tell them, Friar Fuck. Okay, sister, let39。39。m done with them. Maybe not. And I think he39。 Okay, calm down, Auntie Mame. I39。39。m kind of into laying low. Laying low or feeling low? No, I39。Happily Ever After39。 Honey, wele to my box. Soul mate. Two little words, one big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere...is holding the key to your heart, and your dream house. All you have to do is find them. So where is this person? And if you loved someone and it didn39。 Not after next week. Birthday girl. 39。Age. Check box. 39。s just perfect for me. Maybe I should keep looking. Here you go. Okay, we39。re being set up to fail. Exactly, and you feel bad about yourself. It makes the gap between the Holy Grail and the assholes even bigger. I don39。s saying that you39。t I just shoot myself right now? I39。t find him? What, you39。s slipping away. There he goes.39。s just waiting for you. 39。s almost a threat. It39。Don39。m single, I don39。Dear single.... 39。ll call you when I39。s too late for a hankie. This isn39。t want to be married. But now I don39。t want to confuse you, so I made some notes. You made some notes? It helps me to be clear. One, sex life. The sex we had on the floor of your apartment...was quite good, actually. One time. That does not a marriage make. Come inside. Maybe we can rack up a new score. Two, you only want me when you can39。re sure you39。 looks? Nope, didn39。Don39。s hilarious. Hey, what the hell was going on in there? Felt like your edy routine should have a two drink minimum. We were standing in a group of married or engaged women. Just trying to avoid the pity party. And I thought it was a cocktail party. We were the only single people in there. Miranda, we39。But if you have any unspecial friends, could you give them my number?39。s one of the requirements to date me. 39。s better if we just talk. So we are talking till we figure it all out. So no, he39。t think it through. So now we39。s not here. We39。t remember my name? Maybe you should39。re over here. Baby lamb chops. This is quite a spread. Two souls, one big budget. There he was, the fianc233。ve know him for 10 years. Haven39。ve been her idea. Two souls, one pushy fianc233。39。tasy If you39。Ex39。t you guys want to go? I did, until I saw this invitation. Let me see that again. 39。 That is sappy. That is totally not like Danny. Must39。s cute, straight, and we39。t mit. We39。m just a little overwhelmed. Danny! Couldn39。s your husband? He39。re just taking some time to figure things out. We got married really fast. Love at first sight. Didn39。re just talking and trying to figure things out. Just talking, nothing physical. I think it39。m not dating anyone. What about you, Miranda? Seeing anyone special? Actu
