Sex and the Other City
The first rule of television seems to be: if something works once, do it again. Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company has reportedly optioned the novel Prospect Park West to turn into a TV show.

The first rule of television seems to be: if something works once, do it again. Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company has reportedly optioned the novel Prospect Park West to turn into a TV show. The book, by former sex columnist Amy Sohn, who also wrote the companion book for HBO’s Sex and the City, chronicles the lives, urges, and dissatisfactions of four Park Slope mothers. Here’s how The Post summed it up this morning: “The book creates a scathing portrait of Park Slope’s mommy brigade — of which Sohn is a breast-feeding member — as a parade of unsatisfied thirty- and forty-something moms sizing up their plights relative to all the other stroller-pushers at the playground. Few are having sex — at least not with their spouses.” It’s definitely the Sex and the City formula, but who knows if it will take off? Gawker asks the more important question: will it ruin Park Slope? There is already a festoon of strollers; will Berkeley Place now be clogged with red double-decker buses?

Rob – the comment you quoted was about Union Hall – BUT
if you see “many, many, many” attractive moms in PS then you have very wide standards, are extremely desperate, or have vision problems – or some combination thereof – and PLEASE do not go to Tribeca/Soho or even Cobble Hill Park and look at the moms there for I fear that your head might explode.
While there are exceptions the profile of the typical PS Mom seems to be – Average looking 40 yr old women, with a thinish but otherwise frumpy body, wearing unattractive/unflattering clothes, unfeminine hair style and horribly unsexy shoes (and possibly similar glasses) – all with an all-too serious look on her face…..
ok first off let’s get something straight
of course women in midtown will be all dolled up going to WORK! – but when you are at home on a Saturday running to the bank,drycleaner,bagel shop – this same woman is probably in jeans and a tshirt
Dave bathroom sex might be the best thing gay people have given to the world and I mean that in the best way 🙂
weird lechecal, i really dont see that. yes of course women in manhattan are infinitely hotter and more put together in general, but i dont think park slope is full of only frumpy women. it’s definitely on the attractive side for brooklyn. you wanna see frumpy and unattractive tho, see Tribeca. even more twilight zone-ish
*rob*
WOW – I think my husband would agree with you guys.
I often feel outta place when walking around in PS
That settles it. It was a DILF in the bathroom. Since they are very femme (rob) and the mothers are butch and ugly (fsrg), Dave is probably correct. BO, you shouldn’t drink so much beer.

LOL perhaps. on days i take a sick day or have off and walk around the neighborhood im SHOCKED at all the grown men walking around pushing strollers and sitting in the coffee shops on their macs. very twilight zone.

My kids are like terrorists. I will not negotiate with them.
With the admonition that the only milf that interests me is Mrs. Jackal (and she’s hot), I agree that Park Slope is an aesthetic wasteland when it comes to females (can’t speak for males, and I know I’m no looker so I’m writing this from a glass house). Every time I go to midtown it strikes me how much more interested the women are in just looking sexy. For themselves, for their friends, for men, for women, whatever – but it seems to actually be a goal when they wake up in the morning. Park Slopers tend to be pretty frumpy and mannish.

is filled with the most unattractive, asexual looking women outside of a lesbian bar.
actually i sorta think that is a little off base. i definitely see many many many attractive moms in park slope.
