...with adventures in sex, friendship and shoe shopping, the critically acclaimed show, “Sex and the City,” will be broadcasting its final four episodes this February. Like many college-aged women, I am sad to see it go. I’ll miss their chic fashion, their nightly escapades in the New York social scene, and their unremitting sexual interactions with a seemingly endless supply of good-looking men.
