Now I'm not a massive SATC fan but I'm sure that this representation of the main 4 isn't completely accurate.

Do you not think that a major retailer would have done a leetle bit more research?

chaostrulyreigns · 24/05/2010 23:45

Overtired.

Ah ha! Not Unreasonable at all

Just seen an advert - The auburn one has been replaced I think?

No, that's what Miranda looks like without her make up on.

chaostrulyreigns · 25/05/2010 09:01

So that's her name.

Does no-one else think it's a bit strange?

I don't get it. They are just drawing rough parallels with the varying fashion styles, aren't they? Not photographing lookalikes.

Greythorne · 25/05/2010 13:41

i don't get what you mean
The SATC girls have a distinctive style and these 4 looks are a pretty good approximation.

Yes, the models are not doppelgangers of the actresses...is that what's getting your goat?

I think the ad looks great, the clothes are fab and the models look sexy. Surely that's all they were trying to do....

(Must be missing something but) YABU

Bu the other 3 girls really look similar to the SATC women, so much so that even I, who doesn't really watch it, can tell who is supposed to be who. Then there's 'Miranda'... Just is funny that's all.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 25/05/2010 21:51

they look better than the real ones. Not half so scrawny/tarty

chaostrulyreigns · 25/05/2010 22:24

I think Undom has summed it up.

I am just that 3 are balatantly authentic and one complete;y different.

Not really bothered btw as I'm not a big fan, just got my wondering hat on!

Vodka and cherry vimto has affected my spellings.

I don't think any of them look like the SATC girls! One is black??!! Do you think the blonde looks like Samantha???

chaostrulyreigns · 25/05/2010 22:41

Naah too young for the cougar but think SJP one has been chosen as she is a leetlebit Carrie-esque.

Maybe they wanted to be more ethnically diverse? They are trying to sell to everybody. Everybody except gingers.

chaostrulyreigns · 25/05/2010 23:36

I think gingerist is the only ist still allowed.
