After years of being obsessed with Sex and the City, wishing I was like Carrie and moving to New York, I really hoped I'd spot a celebrity or two. Well, I can now say that I have seen Sarah Jessica Parker in the flesh! Amanda has a website that she checks for movie filming locations and she noticed that Sarah Jessica is filming a new movie. We trekked downtown to Wall Street and decided to explore for a little while. We saw plenty of trailers for equipment and dressing rooms but no film crews. Just as we were about to give up, Amanda spotted a small crowd of people. We ran across the street and saw a film crew, lighting set up and tons of extras standing outside. We saw two directors chairs inside the building and none other than SJP was sitting in one! It was the first day of filming her new movie "I Don't Know How She Does It" about a finance executive who is the breadwinner for her family. It was so crazy to see her in real life as I feel like I've come to know her on the screen. And she looked totally fabulous-like she was Carrie Bradshaw!
Hard to tell but she's wearing the green coat in the director's chair
Still on a high from seeing SJP, we had been wanting to see the original Carrie Bradshaw apartment. It turns out that I have just another reason to love living in the West Village. The apartment is located at 66 Perry Street, about a five minute walk from my place. And, SJP and Matthew Broderick live just behind on Charles Street. I still can't believe it all happened. I hope to go back to the set again to watch some filming, but for now, I can die happy! So I'll leave you with one last quote, I think it's rather appropriate...
"So just live. Make mistakes, and have wonderful times, but never ever second guess who you are, where you've been, and most importantly, where it is that you're going."---Carrie Bradshaw
