On sale now: "Sex and the City" tour for $24,000
Sex in the City might have ended a while ago, but its shoe-loving spirit is clearly still well and alive. Even more so with the upcoming movie.
Those wishing to become Carrie Bradshaw for a day (4 days actually) are in luck. For just $24,000 a New York travel company is offering "Sex and the City" fans the chance to live the life of characters in the television series, splurging on luxury shoes and handbags, being pampered at luxury spas and sipping cocktails at nightspots featured in the show, Reuters reports.
Guests can expect to be chauffeured to upscale department store Saks Inc and Barneys New York and boutique clothes stores including the New York store of Patricia Field, the designer and stylist whose clothes feature on the TV series. They will dine at famed restaurants including Balthazar and Pastis are also on the agenda, as is clubbing at Bungalow 8 and other exclusive nightclubs. Guests will also be able to choose their Saturday afternoon based on their favorite character.
The first client to book the tour was a woman from Singapore, where the show is banned. Great marketing.

24k to spend on 4 days? if anyone can spend that kind of money, they can just do those things themselves without going through an agent. if anyone does pay, that's sad.

Ok, so what's in the shopping spree? I've got a feeling the upper crust in Manhattan's not going to jump all over this. They live their own version of sex in the city. Can you say "absurd" society?

What a crock of crap.
Patti Apr 4th 2008 9:48PM
For the love of God don't these people have any concept of what 24K could do to help others in need. This sounds SO wrong on so many levels of common sense.

I'm lookng. Brief search, 90% or more, with absolutely no conscience, were man seeking hot chick.
Narrowed, single female seeking...
Results, 60% - Watch out for bad guys, 40% lesbian.
No complaint with latter, however, pissed @ clear disregard 4 my needs. I want to play too.

And you wonder why this country is falling apart? Some poor GI died in Iraq last week, if you have 24 grand just laying around send the money to his wife and kids they could use it.

You could have twenty nights in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, just like that, for that cost, and I truly believe they would be better. And the people would be more rockin'! :D

I love how the article says for JUST $24,000....JUST? Are you kidding me?? My student loans don't even total $24K! I'll be damned if I ever take a vacation that costs that much! That's just financially irresponsible - regardless of how much money you have!

$24,000 is a lot of money and it's been blown in worse ways than pampering or treating oneself to a "vacation" within the continental U.S. (as opposed to giving your money to a foreign's country's vacation spot). the problem with this country is that they sent troops to Iraq. the money should be spent on electing a president who will end the war and not send our troops into senseless battles. Don't blame the American consumer who can spend his/her hard earned money as he/she sees fit, blame the President and the American people who voted for him. Of course, there's a FREE way to help the rest of the soldiers that are still alive (by the grace of God) in Iraq, and that is to vote appropriately in November.
