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 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 – Maybe it’s not their wives, maybe it’s arm candy while the wives are at work.
FSRG;
Amen to that brother. My wife and I like to get dressed up on most Saturday evenings and hit the town. This also has something to do with my working-class background, in that my folks felt that they had worked hard allw eek, and that a night out was a way out of the weekly drudgery.
Anyway, when I step out of the door of my PS condo, my neighbors look at my wife and me as if we’re the Madoff’s.

Rob: you know what I am talking about! I think there is this new parental mentality that I see frequently in PS where the parents allow the child to run around and scream their heads off and generally bump into people in a restaurant/cafe or on the street. The child is usually doing this as the parent is talking to another parent, mindlessly chatting on their cellphone or as Benson said above – trying to negotiate with the other kid
Am too old school for that crap. Am not into hitting either, but there’s a way you can be sorta stern and scary in moments that you want your kid to chill the Eff out!
benson, even worse, the ones who allow their children to swear at them.
Gay men get/give bathroom head all the time.

“nothing like getting some head in the bathroom at Union Bar from a park slope MILF”
Is this true?
— i dont think i’d want it if i was straight. ive noticed most park slope women have no lips!!! you know what i mean, like literally no lips. just little pursey slits of a mouth. creeeeepy
*rob*
brickoven – there is no way you would know – since there are few PS Milfs (at least if you have any standards) and FOR SURE they arent at Union Hall – which for a cool bar (as in RE and ambiance) is filled with the most unattractive, asexual looking women outside of a lesbian bar.
Gem and Johny;
I live in PS, and this is one of the most amazing things to me. I was raised by an old-school dad, such that all he had to do was cut me a certain look and I knew he meant business.
I watch in amazement sometimes as a parent will “negotiate” with their 3-year old for for 15 minutes.
