“I lost my Choo”
-Carrie Bradshaw
It has been decades, but still, “Sex and the City” is my favorite sitcom. I can relate to the ladies on so many levels. Whenever I am gloomy or dull and need to smile, I always tend to watch Sex and the City. No doubt the girls are witty, funny, sexy, fashion-forward, and simply fabulous. But one persistent thing is how Carrie Bradshaw is so open about her love for shoes. Me, being a shoe fetish, love to see that as they make my shoe obsession seem very normal.
Here are some of my favorite shoe moments from the show;
How can we forget the iconic scene from Sex and the City movie when Mr. Big proposes to Carrie with this beautiful blue Manolo Blahnik.
Or the silly fight between Carrie and Aiden regarding cleaning Carrie’s apartment to make room for Aiden.
Now let us talk about a ‘Woman’s right to shoes’. Here are a few of the best ‘shoe’ quotes I have heard the girls say and laughed my heart out whenever I came across them, and obviously, I completely agree with these shoe confessions.
1. You can never have too many pairs of shoes:
“I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!”
2. All single women need just those special pair of shoes:
“The fact is, sometimes it’s hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then – to make the walk a little more fun.”
3. Not afraid of heights:
“I’m not afraid of heights. Have you seen my shoes?”
4. Knowledge of shoes:
“a few I may not know, but shoes, shoes I know.”
5. Manolo Blahnik, my love of life:
“Oh my God! Do you know what these are? Manolo Blahnik Mary Janses! I thought these were an urban shoe myth!”
6. Can afford to buy any pair of shoes:
“When I want a ridiculously extravagant pair of shoes, I find a way to buy them.”
7. Leave my shoes alone:
“Please sir, you can take my Fendi baguette, you can take my ring and watch but you can’t take my Manolo Blahniks.”
8. Lots of shoes:
“Here lies Carrie. She had two loves and lots of shoes.”
9. A Woman’s Right to Shoes:
“I wanted to let you know that I’m getting married. To myself. And I’m registered at Manolo Blahnik.”
10. Substance abuse problem:
“I have this little substance abuse problem… Expensive footwear.”
11. Rescue life of boredom:
“With no man in sight, I decided to rescue my ankles from a life of boredom. By purchasing too many pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes.”
12. Shoes are my roommate:
“Hi! I’m not here right now, but my shoes are, so leave them a message.”
13. Comfortable in heels:
“But I’m very, very comfortable in heels. The higher the better.”
14. Shoes are the most valuable:
“I’m safe. What’ he gonna take from me – shoes?”
15. Shoes are my savior:
“When one door closes, a shoe box opens.”
16. Self-healing from addiction:
I decided, the only way to break free was to move from one addiction, to an even bigger one… shoes.
Carrie Bradshaw is an iconic character who made Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo a household name…
Carries love for shoes has been eternal and needless to say, our love for shoes will never die as well.
