Ontmoet Carrie Dragshaw, de mannelijke maar minstens even flawless versie van de SATC-ster

'The secret's out'

Dan Clay is een typische fabulous New Yorker. Mocht 'Sex And The City' zich in 2016 afspelen, was hij Carries gay friend Stanford, maar dan aantrekkelijker – sorry Stanny. Maar hoe zelfverzekerd Dan ook overkomt op Instagram, zijn verlangen om zich te verkleden als vrouw verstopte hij voor z'n omgeving, uit angst. Wanneer meisjes tijdens z'n studies elke zondag op z'n kot naar SATC kwamen kijken, deed hij alsof hij het een stom programma vond, om z'n geheim niet prijs te geven. Maar een dikke maand geleden, rond Halloween, postte Dan deze foto.

 

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them." I have wanted to be Carrie Bradshaw for Halloween ever since college, when I had HBO in my frat room and girls would come over and watch Sex and the City on Sundays and I would pretend that I hated it because I didn't want to give myself away. Well, the secret's out, and this is the happiest day of my life. @sarahjessicaparker sending you more love than you could even imagine ❤️ #carriedragshaw

Dan won met de foto niet alleen Halloween, maar ook het hart van Sarah Jessica Parker. De enige echte Carrie Bradshaw schreef een hartverwarmende reactie onder Dans foto: 'Oh my Lord! Woorden kunnen het niet uitdrukken. Een overwinning.xxx'

 

If you need me I'll be dead. A few questions: Do I ever take this tutu off? Is this my career now? Is my past like an anchor holding me back and I need to let go of who I was to become who I will be? @sarahjessicaparker you could teach a Learning Annex seminar on how to bring kindness and love to the world ❤️

Iconische outfits

De reactie van SJP was voor Clay een teken dat hij moest doorgaan met Carrie Dragshaw. Sindsdien steekt hij zich in iconische Bradshaw-outfits en maakt foto's in het gepaste decor of haalt z'n beste Photoshopvaardigheden boven, bijvoorbeeld om zichzelf naast Miranda op het bankje voor Magnolia Bakery te plakken. Wij hebben alleszins al op 'follow' geklikt, want een echte fan kan nóóit te veel 'Sex and The City' op haar Instagramfeed hebben.

 

In old westerns, the cowboy always saves the damsel in distress. But what if the cowboy is the reason she’s distressed in the first place? Who will save the damsel when her hero is her downfall? As I was face-to-face with yet another failure on the wild frontier of love, I couldn’t help but wonder: Maybe this was the story of the damsel who learned to save herself. After all, this is not the Old West—this is New York. And there’s plenty of giddy up left in my honky tonk. Maybe some girls aren’t meant to ride into the sunset. Maybe they're meant to grab their other damsels and dance under the moonlight. #CarrieDragshaw

As I thought back on my plan to hang up my heels after Halloween, I couldn’t help but wonder: Why do we stop what brings us joy? When it comes to finding happiness, are our own heads our worst enemies? When the only thing holding you back is what you think other people might think, then maybe you need to stop living the life you think they think you should live. If you spend too much time on other people's thoughts you start living other people's dreams. So instead of hanging up my heels, I bought more. Because life’s a drag without drag. #CarrieDragshaw @sarahjessicaparker @margaret_cho @alancummingsnaps
