Sex Sells...and Sells and Sells

On the Manolo Blahnik heels of the Sex and the City movie's stellar opening weekend comes the July issue of Marie Claire featuring four different covers—with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon each getting their very own.

Such a gesture by the magazine is indeed a testament to both the groundbreaking nature and cultural impact of the show, and now, the film.

"These were women who were objectifying men. And it was sort of jarring," says SATC creator Darren Star.

"Men aren’t used to hearing themselves depersonalized and referred to as Mr. This or Mr. That," adds Star. "I think if you had a show with that sort of locker-room talk from a bunch of guys talking about women, it would a little ‘yuck.’”

Of course, while the ladies are certainly worthy of separate covers, it also sets up a bit of a popularity contest between the women, since fans will surely buy the one with the character they identify with the most.

So who are you feeling?
