Photo: Josh Lehrer I idolized Candace Bushnell without knowing the facts. I grew up watching Sex and the City, and really, that was enough for me. She was the “real” Carrie Bradshaw, the writer behind the ’90s New York Observer columns who’d accidentally struck print oil and reaped HBO gold.
It’s what she used to get all of the gory and glorious insight into the sex lives of New Yorkers for that now-iconic column, the on-the-ground hookup reporting we all do for free on Twitter now. Whenever her answers to my questions turn into queries about my own life — “Everyone used to be at restaurants, but now it’s clubs?”” — it’s hard to resist indulging her sparkling curiosity.
It’s the kind of incisive, funny remark that shoots naturally from her, but I wanted to know if there was some stinging societal disappointment behind it. “At one time,” she tells me, “there were only two types of women: the Madonna and the Whore. Now there are four.” Beat. “This is an improvement.” She doesn’t sound weathered by this observation but almost contradicts herself when discussing the impulse to categorize.
She’s puzzled at her perception so many people can have 20 million followers on TikTok and laments the transition from physical to online persona-building. “There used to be so much posturing. Now there’s a lot of posturing online, but there used to be a lot of posturing in person.
