Some like It Hot

Last night I attended the Safe Is Sexy event for the Golden Gate Planned Parenthood chapter. Cynthia Nixon was the featured hotty. As we all got a little loopy on wines featured from women owned wineries, she regaled us with tales not told on Sex and the City.

One scene that was cut: on the episode where Carrie's Jimmy Choos are stolen right off her feet, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) meets and dates the detective on the case. She believes he's so out of her league that when they go out she gets drunk. They hook up and go back to her apartment. She's straddling him and, in the heat of the moment, projectile vomits. The scene was cut because, as Nixon described it, the writers decided it went too far.

But here's where anti-choice zealots are really taking it too far. Women's rights are under attack. In South Dakota. In the Supreme Court, where Roe v. Wade is hanging on by a thread. It's up to us, the sold out crowd at the Ritz in San Francisco, to mobilize, galvinize, vote and take to the streets.

I'd rather see Cynthia Nixon spewing on a hot detective than being treated as a criminal for deciding what to do with my body.
