Curious to see what labels were name-dropped in the movie, VF Daily sent two reporters to a screening of SATC: TM to count the number of times the promotional products were seen on the screen, along with other brands that were blatantly mentioned. Here’s the unscientific breakdown of the many, many goods in Carrie Bradshaw’s fantastical world.
Designers Manolo Blahnik (consistently and constantly)Vivienne Westwood (more than any other designer, most notably as Carrie’s wedding dress)Louis Vuitton (lots and lots and lots)Chanel (at least five times)Dior FerragamoRoger VivierDiane von Furstenberg (a scene was filmed in her New York City store)HermèsChristian Loubutin (one very clear shot of bright red soles)PradaEscadaVersaceGucci (several handbags—including a big white “Gucci heart NY” one—and brown glossy shopping bags)Vera WangOscar de la RentaCarolina HerreraChristian LacroixLanvinNikeAddidasBurberryTiffany and Co. (Carrie’s wedding gifts)Swarovski (constantly sparkled on Carrie’s encrusted cell phone; also shined on a clip in Miranda’s hair, Stanford’s wedding tuxedo, and on Charlotte’s daughter’s cupcake purse)Hello Kitty (décor of choice in Charlotte’s daughter’s room)
Stores & Services Henri BendelScoopBluefly.comDuane ReadeManhattan Mini Storage (boxes and boxes in nearly every scene shot in Carrie’s apartment)Bag Borrow or Steal (referenced, explained, and punned on repeatedly)NetflixU-Haul

Publications Vogue (the real editorial office and staffers, a photo shoot, and the magazine itself)New York PostPage Six (what better place for an engagement announcement?)Entertainment WeeklyNew York magazineMarie ClaireThe Wall Street Journal (Big’s before-bed read)
Sips and Snacks Starbucks (again and again) Pellegrino (on a table or two) Skky Vodka (to drown Carrie’s many sorrows)VitaminWater (first an ad hanging on a wall, then on every seat under the tents for Fashion Week)Smart Water (the water of choice—all over the place)Pret a Manger (bagged lunch in the park for two)Cup of Noodles (New Year’s Eve feast)

1. Men want a fun and exciting (female) companion.
2. Men want great sex (consistent, frequent, and passionate lovemaking score high with men).
3. Men want to share meals with their woman companion (especially when she cooks for him).
4. Men want you to support them in their work and boost their confidence.
5. Men want you to look great, keep in shape, and express confidence about your body.
6. Men want you to listen to them and treat them with respect.
7. Men need private time, to unwind, to engage in sports and hobbies, and to spend time with other men.
First of all a man is seeking a love-interest. This may surprise many women but men like to love and they like being loved in return. The problem is that many women come across as impassioned and cold. It is not easy to find a loving woman and it is very noticeable how many men try and hang on when they think they have found their Miss Right.
Men are seeking a woman who is attractive to them. Women may despair that men can be so shallow and that looks could matter so much but be careful. Men aren't necessarily looking for a catwalk model and many men don't like women who weigh 80lbs. But men do want a woman who takes pride in their appearance (though not excessively). Men are proud of having a girlfriend who looks good and I don't believe any man who says otherwise.
Men are looking for a trustworthy girl, someone they can have faith in and someone who will be there for them. This may sound like an odd thing to say, but the fact is, some women are not trustworthy and many are not faithful either. So many in fact that men are increasingly wary. That kiss at a Christmas party may not count, or the flirtatious behavior with the gorgeous barman and in fact its all great fun and part of a woman's character. But reverse the situation and as a woman, you hate him doing the same. A man can never forgive a woman being unfaithful and so he is looking for someone who he really does trust.
Men want to make a home eventually and are looking for a woman who will be a willing sharer in home life. Women with a sociable lifestyle are attractive because they can be relied upon to keep the social diary running in a long term relationship.
Men are seeking women who are feminine gentle and kind because deep down the qualities that make a woman a great mother are an attraction in themselves. I am not suggesting that the man himself needs mothering, though some do, it is more the point that men seek the attributes in women that point to someone who would make a great mother to future offspring.
Men want women with a great sense of humor. Women often come across as uptight or too bothered by too many small details. You will sometimes hear mention of a girl who is 'one of the boys'. What this means is that she is able to fit in with their humor and is sociable and fun to be with. Such women are extremely attractive to many men. Men want to have a good time and relax when not working and so their ideal partners are women who are able to do the same.
Men are looking for women who retain their femininity and and are caring and kind. In recent years, aping men may be a female fashion statement, but it doesn't make them attractive. Whilst every woman in the world burps and farts and has the right to drink pints of beer, it doesn't necessarily attract them to the opposite sex. Women can get angry and say well men will just have to get used to it, but the issue is that they don't. They can just choose not to go for women who act in the same way as their drinking buddies.
Men want someone who is supportive. Many women are quick to criticize men in their behavior, career and set about trying to alter them and mould them. This is a crucial mistake. Men can be manipulated yes, but they see their partnerships as support systems. The best relationships work both ways in terms of support. Where a woman is not able or willing to give that support and is too quick to criticize then she may lose her man.
Men don't like angry women who shout. They want a woman who can debate and converse and is able to discuss. Communication is king. A fiery passionate temperament may have made you interesting and challenging on day one. But by day 500 it holds no glory whatsoever.
Men love a challenging woman, someone who keeps them on their toes. Men are generally lazy in relationships once they feel they're in secure territory. When a man is challenged so he does something about it. If you want to keep your man interested, keep him challenged.
Men are generally more reserved about sex than women. This is my experience is a fact. Men know what they like in bed and tend to stick to it. The adventurous sexual appetite in most men isn't there even if they are convinced it is. Men in reality are quite conservative. Sexually adventurous has nothing to do with having lots of partners and more to do with the things they will try with the same partner. In most test cases I have conducted, it is the man who looks for a quiet time in the bedroom and the woman who ultimately becomes bored.
Men want a woman who will commit to them. Though increasingly this is hard to find, it doesn't take away the wish. Men want a girlfriend who they can share with and trust and be open with. Commitment is not a one way street and therefore men are struggling to find the levels of commitment they found previously. But the need is still there.
Men don't want to be alone.

- Obećavam Beograđanima da ćemo ih paziti kao malo vode na dlanu. Obećavam da će moj radni dan počinjati u 6 i 15 ujutru a završavati se oko ponoći i dokazaću da je priča kako strane investicije neće stići ako radikali dođu na vlast obična laž. Verujem u sebe i znam koliko sam spreman da radim. U prvih desetak dana nove gradske vlasti videće se konkretni rezultati, a u prvih šest meseci postići ćemo bolje rezultate nego neki za četiri godine. Ja to obećavam Beograđanima - rekao je Vučić za „Alo!“ posle potpisivanja sporazuma.
Od Bogote do Kalkute od Manile sve do Lime
Nas kartel najaci na vrhu piramide.
Ti nam kazes sta ti treba,mi ti javimo gde stize
Poroci Beograda,mi smo belji od zime
Od Bogote do Kalkute od Manile sve do Lime
Nas kartel najaci na vrhu piramide.
Ti nam kazes sta ti treba,mi ti javimo da stize
Odradimo posao... I nema nas vise.
- Pre nego što sam zatrudnela, hrana me uopšte nije zanimala, doživljavala sam je kao neku tečnost (!?) a ne kao nešto u čemu se uživa. Jela sam tek toliko da preživim. Kao glumica i model, živela sam praktično samo od cigareta i kafe, koji su mi ubijali apetit. Ali, to se ubrzo promenilo kada sam saznala da sam trudna, pa sam tako skoro svakog dana za doručak jela omlet od četiri jaja sa slaninom i tost sa puterom, a za večeru meksički omlet, gomilu palačinki i frape od jagoda - priča Mila.Zanimljiv izbor, dostojan sumo rvača. A kad je već „uhvatila“ iskrenost, otkrila je i detalje iz mladosti: kao tinejdžerka, bila je prava buntovnica, konzumirala je droge, bila optuživana za vandalizam po šoping centrima i prevare sa kreditnim karticama...

Posle vise slusanja, Izrael je definitivno imao najkvalitetniju pesmu ukljucujuci:
izuzetan kvalitet glasa
originalnu muziku
primese izraelskog melosa (Malta, pa vodka...absolut!??)
sopstveni jezik (muka mi je od Rusa i Francuza koji `izvode` na engleskom)
jednostavno i upecatljivo izvodjenje (bez maski, klizanja, lezanja, veranja, nakaza i ostalih)

Mnogo se pričalo i o seksualnosti novog evrovizijskog pobednika, pa mu je čak na konferenciji, nakon proglašenja pobede, postavljeno i nekoliko provokativnih pitanja. - Elena mi nije samo devojka, nego i buduća nevesta i talija. Ona mi donosi sreću bilo gde da pođe sa mnom - odgovorio je jasno Bilan. Viktor Dima Bilan vratio se preksinoć kasno kući, gde je dočekan uz sve počasti. Danas ga u Rusiji očekuju brojne obaveze i odlazak na osmodnevnu turneju po Evropi. U Diminom rodnom gradu Karačaju takođe je sve spremno za doček pobednika, a jednoj ulici je već promenjeno ime u ulica Viktora Belana.
Posle svadbe vojska
Dimu Bilana nakon spektakularnog venčanja očekuje još jedna manje lepa obaveza. Pobednik „Evrosonga“ mora da ode na odsluženje vojnog roka koji u Rusiji traje dve godine. U tamošnjem zakonodavstvu javne ličnosti ne mogu da budu oslobođene vojne obaveze, ali može da im se olakša boravak u uniformi. Dima će verovatno vojničke dane provesti u vojnom orekestru ili raditi pri ministarstvu odbrane.
During the finals, a huge screen was put up in front of the Belgrade City Hall, and thousands gathered to watch the show. And after the winner was announced, fireworks lit up the sky.
The finale included 20 contestants who made it through two semifinals this week. In addition, performers from Britain, France, Germany and Spain, who are the biggest sponsors of the event, and Serbia, the host country, went straight into the final without having competed in preliminary rounds...

Na prvoj polufinalnoj večeri „Eurosonga“ voditeljski par Željko Joksimović i Jovana Janković defilovali su binom odeveni u modele poznatog modnog maga Žan-Pola Gotjea, potom u garderobi iz prestižnog svetskog butika Marija Luisa, u modelima Balensijage, Aleksandera Mekvina, Azdina Alaje...Naš trenutno najslavniji voditeljski par nosio je i kreacije domaćih dizajnera,
Željko i Jovana te će Jovana u ove tri večeri poneti i garderobu mlade kreatorke Tamare Radivojević, te modele Aleksandra Nikolića i Enija Kapasa. Željko, osim modela Žan-Pola Gotjea nosi i kreacije Aleksandra Nikolića, „Martini Vesta“ i Enija Kapasa. Za stajling su se pobrinule Jovana Božović i Ivana Rebrenović pod nadzorom Nenada Radujevića, vlasnika modnog studija
Mišljenja o njihovom stajlingu među stručnjacima su podeljena. - Jovana je trebalo da bude obučena glamuroznije - kaže naš poznati modni kreator Bata Spasojević i nastavlja: „Te haljine koje je nosila trebalo je da pokriju njene nedostatke, a ne da ih istaknu. Garderoba i jeste zato tu, da pokrije ono što nedostaje i istakne ono što je lepo, a kod Jovane to nije bio slučaj. Ta garderoba na njoj uopšte nije imala pravi efekat. Nije imala jačinu.

Prošetavši crvenim tepihom, Bojana je lepotom zasenila i mnogo popularniju koleginicu, britansku glumicu Kristin Skot Tomas, pa su blicevi svih fotoreportera bili upereni u nju. Inače, Bojana je sa Kristin zajedno i glumila u filmu „Largo Vinč“, čija se premijera očekuje uskoro. Tokom narednih meseci će početi da glumi u još nekoliko projekata te će, kako stvari stoje, ova srpska lepotica još dugo mamiti uzdahe svetske publike šetajući crvenim tepihom.

U „Beogradskoj areni“ juče je obavljena i prva generalna proba prve polufinalne večeri „Evrosonga“. Na sceni se sve odvijalo upravo onako kako će i televizijski gledaoci imati priliku da vide večeras, u 21 čas, u direktnom prenosu na RTS-u, te su učesnici, voditelji, kao i specijalni gosti programa bili u svojim svečanim toaletama. Na probi nije baš sve funkcionisalo kako treba - bilo je problema sa zvukom i video-snimcima, a i Jovani i Željku će dobro doći još nekoliko dana da se uigraju... Prva generalna proba prvog polufinala je počela instrumentalnom verzijom „Molitve“, na koju se nadovezuje dečji hor sa pesmicom o Beogradu. Nakon toga počinje vatromet, deca silaze sa bine, a na scenu se penje trubački ansambl Srbije i KUD „Kolo“. Oni zajedno izvode velike hitove sa prethodnih takmičenja, a trubačke verzije numera „Volare“ i „Waterloo“ su oduševile malobrojnu publiku u „Beogradskoj areni“.
Zatim na scenu izlaze voditelji Jovana Janković i Željko Joksimović, koji su, budući da im je ovo bila prva prava proba, imali tremu i izgledali pomalo neuvežbano. Na bini su se redom pojavili predstavnici prvih šest zemalja koje će nastupiti u polufinalu, a zatim je usledila pauza u kojoj se publici video-porukom obraća Ana Ivanović, koja priča zašto je Beograd jedinstven. Nakon manjih tehničkih problema (sa tonom i snimkom), proba je nastavljena, a najveće ovacije u avetinjski praznoj „Areni“ (u hali je, osim mnogobrojnih novinara bilo i oko 300 ljudi sa kupljenim kartama), prema očekivanju su dobili predstavnici Rusije i Grčke, ali i Laka, predstavnik Bosne i Hercegovine, koji je već stekao mnogo fanova. Poljakinja Ajsis Dži je blistala na sceni u haljini prekrivenoj „svarovski“ kristalima, Estonci su mahali zastavom Srbije, a Finci su publiku propisno zagrejali moćnom pirotehnikom... Posle grčke pevačice Kalomire, koja je nastupala poslednja, voditelji su pozvali Novaka Đokovića na scenu, kojeg je na jučerašnjoj probi „menjao“ Ivica Klemenc, koji je, simulirajući bacanje teniske loptice u publiku, najavio početak glasanja. Predviđeno je da danas, u prenosu prvog polufinala, Đoković, pre nego što najavi glasanje, zapeva sa Joksimovićem pesmicu „Beograde, Beograde...“.
