Great news for parents who worry that The Hills may not be enough to ensure that their daughters eventually wind up with a low IQ and an STD: Sex and the City for teens is coming!
Hack writer and badly dressed New York society cliché Candace Bushnell has announced that she's penning a series of prequels to her inexplicably successful book and TV series about the exploits of a hack writer and badly dressed New York society cliché named, imaginatively, Carrie Bradshaw. However, unlike the original Sex and the City, which was basically heroin for sad and loveless middle-aged women, The Carrie Diaries will focus on Carrie's life as a teenager -- making it basically heroin for one sad and loveless middle-aged woman: Bushnell, who gets to use the books to further her own self-mythology by pushing the notion that she was actually cool in high school.
As the "author" herself describes the new series:
"Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd -- she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene."
This will seem like a startlingly fresh and original concept to anyone who's never seen an episode of Gossip Girl.
Needless to say, The Carrie Diaries is already being made into its own television series.
