Let 'em celebrate (Chastain and/or men in jockstraps)–why be so Puritanical about it?

Interesting. I guess Kim Cattrall sort of resembles a gay man. Or an aging tranny.

Sex and the City was written about gay men but cast with women. That's what this guy argues in an article from 2004:

I was always reminded of an old American theory about writing comedy - you write black and cast white. In other words, you add style and cool to your white characters by writing as though they were black. A variation is writing Jewish and casting gentile to add personality and humour.

For Sex and the City, it seemed the formula was to write gay male and cast straight female. Its (gay) creator, Darren Star (pictured), devised one of the gayest hit series featuring straight characters in television history.

An outstanding point indeed. There should be a law. All boobs must be no smaller than The Bean.

She's headed for back trouble but really there's no such thing as 'too gigantic,' is there?

Odd, larry, but I was thinking the exact same thing after I finished reading Pat's post. Well, that, and I think Kim Cattrall's pornstar-sized plastic boobs are far too gigantic for her body.

I've seen ABJ sportswriters pretend they've been criticized for being too critical before but in fact they don't seem to criticize coaches, general managers or owners until it would be patently ridiculous not to do so. It's a little bit of a joke.
