(64) Sex and the City

(64) Sex and the City. As a twenty-something bar patron, in the episode “Valley of the Twenty-Something Guys” of the TV show Sex and the City.

A gossipy perkiness? A serene certainty that the civilised world ends at the shoreline of Manhattan? A curious paucity of non-Caucasian characters?… It must be Sex and the City.

This blink-and-you-miss-it moment shows me as an eponymous twenty-something in a bar, earning a paycheque to ensure my continued eligibility for Screen Actors Guild health insurance. In fact I’d forgotten this altogether, until years later when the eagle-eyed Marianna Di Giacomo sweetly alerted me of its existence—so here it is, a doll-sized teaspoonful of the ’90s.
