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?

Park Sloper;
LOL!!
What would this site do without me??
DH, I don’t think a kid in a harnass is a good hipster “pick-up” magnet :o). I’ll can ask my sis to lend you the older one. He would go picking up chicks with you. He is incredibly smart, not shy, snarky and loves video games (who doesn’t at the age of 9). Would make an awesome wingman!
kens – lol. that’s so true. i have two nieces and i absolutely ADORE them. it is pretty great. i swear i love them like they were my own, but i do get to give them back once they start crying. plus, where would they fit in my small studio!? also remember our talk about 80’s music recently? i watched the first mini-series “V” last night on DVD. Have you ever seen it!? amazing. i’m preparing for the remake of the series in the fall…
“I don’t really understand “unsatisfied.” This is NYC, just go out and get it.”
Dave, she is talking about how little housework her husband does, not sex.
Also, the Bushwick parody should start with “ola.” There are zero hipsters with children in Bushwick. Although I’m sure they’re coming soon. Someone posted on BushwickBK the other day she’s pregnant.
Okay, Park Sloper… that was omg brilliant.
benson, I’m sure she’s destroyed the market in those names for twenty years, at least around here…
you go PS. I’d do mounds plural, and benson forgot his hat! He’ll have to go back and get it.
Park Sloper!!!
hahaa – dying!
hilarious!
