Sex and the City and NYC
Many generations of women have grown up with the iconic TV series Sex and the City. You guessed it right- I am also one of them. I loved everything about the TV show and have seen each season at least three times. I loved the outfits, the drama, the wisdom and the fun that the awesome foursome was bringing with each episode.

She then asks the same player out in an attempt to 'get back in the game.'
