The Real Sex and the City with Candace B...

Dear Media
About this episode

Grab your Cosmos, we have the woman responsible for Sex and the City, the real-life Carrie Bradshaw – Candace Bushnell! Candace joins us to talk about the show that became the voice of many generations, forging her own path as a successful woman (when it was much harder to do so), the real story behind Mr. Big, how she met her former husband and why they got married so quickly, why girlfriends are so important, dating men from ages 21-91, her feelings on And Just Like That, and more. Before Candace joins us, we talk about Rayna’s upcoming date with DBCG (if you know you know), Ashley’s bf meeting the fam, and a secret Rayna thought Ashley kept from her. Enjoy!
