One of the not so great things about fashion blogging is the incessant feeling that I HAVE to check out the gossip sites because they are yet another source of blog fodder. Such is the case with TMZ’s recent posting about an outfit that SJP was wearing during the filming of the Sex and the City movie in Manhattan.

And I quote…

“As if giant flowers weren’t bad enough, “Sex and the City” star Sarah Jessica Parker is now looking to inspire forty-year-old women across the country to wear … thigh-high stockings! Little Middle-Aged Orphan Carrie!

If this keeps up, the only thing Carrie Bradshaw will need to wear is a straitjacket!”

I don’t know about you, but I think TMZ is completely off their mark here. Who are they to judge fashion… let alone Pat Field? Perhaps what they don’t realize is that this is a woman who STARTS trends and doesn’t ride the out the wave. I dare any one of their staff (more specifically, the author of this piece) to do a walk off with SJP on any given day. Ten bucks says she could even beat them in her Bitten pj’s!

Blasphemous, absurd, preposterous, and embarrassing… they just don’t seem to know it yet.
