I used to like browsing this forum, but lately it's become a forum for some of the most judgemental comments I've seen. Calm down!!! If everyone here was so perfect and had such great style, why the hell aren't you in media pictures being commented on? Sorry for adding the the very negative attitude of this forum.
As for SJP, she's fantastic. She was one of the executive producers of the SATC, so her hands were in every aspect of the show, including the fashion. True, Pat Field is brilliant, but don't think that SJP (and the rest) didn't work very closely with Pat and guided her to what their characters would wear. For example, Pat even says how SJP was the one to find the fur coat Carrie wore throughout seasons two and three. Also, as far as SJP's personal style before and after the show, she has always been spunky with her clothes. SATC gave her the training and income to take it to the next level.
Last I heard, Gap (or any other company) hasn't been knocking on your door to represent them have they?

Calm down? Who's excited other than you?
How are my personal opinions judgmental? (spelt without an E btw, but pls note I'm not jugding your spelling capabilities)
Judgmental of her fashion sense?? When did that become a crime?
I am *not* slandering her or making slurs about her character.
FYI, I sorta like her, she seems nice enough, is an OK actress, if a little verbose and long-winded in interviews.
I am simply stating that in my own humble opinion (I am allowed to have one aren't I?
) her fashion sense before SATC was just so-so.
She found the one fur coat? Ooh what a noteworthy achievement! You've definitely convinced me.
Big whoop.
Btw, post-SATC isn't making me do major cartwheels either though it has significantly improved, but that's another can of worms for you and your peace loving, uber positive nature to wrestle with.
I'm just saying if she had the *exact* same style before the show, people would have been raving about her then. I certainly wasn't. Was she on the cover of Vogue pre-SATC? Hmm, that would be a big resounding No. (If I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong)
However, if this somewhat appeases you, it is remotely plausible that she suddenly developed this style while working on SATC.
As for her income before the show, I am sure she could afford vintage 70's sundresses and other "quirky" essentials that are so "Carrie".
And uh, if she could wear Oscar de la Renta before SATC, where was her innate style then?? I'm not saying she was a fashion disaster before, well perhaps, but simply forgettable to me.
Is that alright with you O' exalted thought-police???
Or must I censor my opinions just because you think she is fantastic?
It's just fashion, not racial prejudices or intolerance for crying out loud.
I NEVER say anything negative about TFS member or celebs in general, unless it's Britney(who can resist?), and when I do, it's purely pertaining to fashion, never anyone's character, and this is a Fashion Forum is it not?
And btw, I think MANY members of TFS have FABULOUS style and there are some that would be a million times better in a GAP ad, or even a Prada ad for that matter. We might even see a couple achieving that "feat" in the near future.
Are you one of them? I ask only because you seem to be suggesting that nobody here can have any negative comments about celebrity fashion unless they're a supermodel, fashion icon or inherently "perfect"???
Dream on.
Regardless of your vocation in life, everyone, I repeat, everyone has a right to their own opinions on any topic, be you a road sweeper or a supermodel.
As long as these opinions don't disparage an individual's moral character, race, religion or sexual orientation, then I am all for free speech.
As for your final comment, I am not even going to lower myself to your level and trade personal insults over my post, because your single comment was more negative than my whole initial post, so why don't you rethink your so-called "amazingly positive attitude" and get down off your paraplegic high horse.
I am not at all sorry my opinions don't sit well with you, because your attitude and your self-righteous indignation over something so trivial don't sit well with me either, so we'll agree to differ and leave it at that.
Please don't pounce on me or any other unsuspecting TFSer just because we aren't collectively drooling over SJP.
Unless you're into negativity of course.
