Carrie Bradshaw

Helio, after watching an episode of Sex in the City, tells me I remind him of Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker's character. Not just her looks, but also her personality and manner of speaking. I take this as a compliment. She's a cool cat. She's definitely more fashionable than me - I could care less what brand of shoes I'm wearing. But we're both outgoing, independent, and have biggish noses.

There are worse people I could be compared to as a visiting American.
