96. Dating “Mr. Big” (and Other NY Men)

Stevie Bowen revisits the early 20’s dating stories that inspired her modern Carrie Bradshaw moment – complete with her own version of Mr. Big. She dishes on the men behind the monikers in her memoir, The City of Dating…the one who (unknowingly) took her virginity, the one who fulfilled her sk8tr boi fantasy, the one who viewed protein powder as a food group…and the Charlottes, Mirandas, and Samanthas who were there to gossip with her over brunch the morning after.

44. The Samantha To My Carrie

This week I interview the Samantha to my (reluctant) Carrie – my longtime friend Ari Schechter! We dive into the origin behind our designated Sex and the City classifications, the characteristics we eschew (bad outfits, worse taste in men) and those we embrace (creative expression and confidence). Ari also describes her experience moving to the East Coat and adjusting from bros in San Diego to bureaucrats in Albany – and how she eventually avoided both during her search for her current partner.
