We met the real "Carrie"

Last Thursday night, Julie Fitzgerald and I (and what seemed like all the women in Cincinnati) had a couple cosmos at Bella and then headed over to the Aronoff to see Candace Bushnell and hear her lecture as part of the Smart Talk series.

If you're a woman, I'm guessing you're quite familiar with Candace Bushnell. The HBO hit series Sex and the City was inspired by her bestselling book of the same name, which was a collection of columns she wrote for the New York Observer.

Bushnell was loud and funny and it was interesting to see the real-life "Carrie" (played by Sarah Jessica Parker on the show) talking about her real life.

But, the best part was getting to chat with her after the lecture - and getting to see her brilliant Manolo Blahniks up close.

Also worth mentioning: she doesn't get free Manolos for life. She should for launching them into shoe infamy with Sex and the City. But she only got two free pairs. So, what did she do? Well, she picked out the two most expensive pair. Go Candice!

A little touchy about your Catholic faith there Blog Administrator. It's just a pathetic little faith for weak-minded people.
