Like any dutiful fashion slave, I have watched and re-watched the SATC movie trailer memorizing every outfit paraded by our favourite fab foursome. How about that black, cut-out mini-dress Samantha was wearing as she ran across the street to meet the other girls? Her figure and that dress are beyond amazing. The dress I drooled [...]
