What If the Sex and the City Girls Were Couriers?
My wife has a huge thing for Sex and the City so, when I arrived home from one of my self-employed courier jobs, I wasn't surprised to see her slumped out in-front of her favourite box set.
Watching it with her got me wondering, what if the four thirty-somethings weren't sophisticated New Yorkers, but rather four down-to-earth couriers holding down self-employed courier jobs in good old Blighty? The Outfits Would Have To Go Some of the outfits Carrie wears in Sex and the City are quite outlandish.
Huge puffball skirts, origami folded jackets and Dolce and Gabbana dresses are all featured on the hit series.
Most of these are far too expensive to wear on self-employed courier jobs and a lot of the dresses wouldn't even fit in the white vans they're that big.
Who can forget Carrie's stunning ballerina dress that she wore in the final episode of the series? She wouldn't have even been able to close the van door, let alone made a delivery wearing that.
Plus the lads down the local diner would have teased her relentlessly about her outfit choice, which brings me to my next point..

The Fancy Restaurants Would Be Swapped For Motorway Service Stations The Sex and the City girls are always meeting for lunch in fancy restaurants and this is something that would definitely change if they were couriers.
After a long day carrying out self-employed courier jobs, we don't want to end up at a restaurant that charges us above the odds for a minuscule meal.
There's nothing like stopping off en-route for filling pub grub and a bacon butty.
God knows, some of those girls certainly look like they could do with a half decent meal.
Have you ever seen the Girls Drive? Apart from when Carrie rents a car to take Samantha and her to San Francisco and almost manages to crash it while getting out of the rental office, have you ever seen any of the girls drive? They travel everywhere by taxi and this just isn't practical for those delivering packages on self-employed courier jobs.
New York cabs are expensive and so for that matter are London taxis.
Sometimes I can be driving for hours on one courier job and if I were to forgo the van and bill the client for my taxi fare, the cost would be just astronomical.
High Heels Make Self-Employed Courier Jobs Impossible We all know the real reason the girls take taxis everywhere..

their shoes! If Carrie's high-heels make walking the streets of the Upper-East side impossible then imagine how she would get by driving in them.
A recent study in the UK showed that 11.
5 million women are putting their lives, and the lives of others, in danger by wearing inappropriate footwear whilst driving.
High heels weren't designed with driving in mind and as we can't imagine ever seeing Carrie wearing a pair of flat shoes, this rules her out as a potential courier.
Carrie might not make a great courier, but Miranda and Samantha would both fare well with self-employed courier jobs.
Miranda's brusque and efficient manner would allow her to deliver packages in an organised and timely way.
Whilst, somehow we all know that Samantha would get around the quickest.
