SJP always seemed like a negative person to me. More proof she doesnt have much class, or a good pr agent.
SJP takes herself way too seriously.
Thanks for the Downtown Creatures link! I actually kind of knew Maripol — I stocked my then-accessories-boutique with all of her wares, including the iconic black rubber bangles. The first time I went to her studio/showroom, Madonna had just been there (Maripol had the Polaroids to prove it)and Maripol regaled us with stories of shooting the Like a Virgin video in Venice. And I somehow saved NONE of that jewelry. Sigh.
SJP is mean, plain and simple. And extremely arrogant. I thought she did a great job on SATC, but what is the point of bashing the show and young actress? I think “The Carrie Diaries” is OK. I am an 80s girl, and the music in the show is terrific
I don’t think her comments were quite that negative. I mean, how do you think Mark Hamill felt when Aidan Barton starred as Luke Skywalker in the prequel? Or Alec Guinness felt when Ewan MacGregor played the younger Obi-Wen Kenobi. It’s odd.
Thanks for the heads up on the Miss USA contest — I’ll cross that off my bucket list.
I don’t think her comments were mean. Maybe that’s because I agree with her.
I lived across the hallway from Suzanne Mallouk in the early 80s! And now she’s a child psychiatrist in the town where I grew up.
