Hello, my name is Carrie Bradshaw. Let's Talk About Sex.

Friday. Late evening. The City is high-lighted with drunk-guys and tourists. Streets are almost empty. A few bars known for cheap beer. Not the best one. But we can survive with that. BBC is already telling about economical crisis. So let's be more pragmatic about money we have.

First stop. The park. The bottle of champagne opens with splash. We meet again. We haven't seen each other for ages. And to be surprised – we don't drink for "happy coming together again", we drink for SEX! Yeah, ask where is this world going?

We are 3 today. Samantha is missing. And that's what we miss – Samantha in ourselves. We are the rest 3 "loser" characters of "Sex and the City" – and not divided – just 3 as a whole. And we drink for SEX, which apparently we don't have.

1st Miranda, Charlote & Carrie.

Just had a dead end of relationship. Was in connection with married man. That explains the dead end. (Don't be naïve, he's not gonna leave his wife and warmly kept snuggery for you! That's why it is called extramarital relations. Take it or leave it). Emotional soul. Cries a lot. And shouts either. By occasion. Falls in love quickly and deeply. And often. Open-minded, argumentative, loves men's company.

2nd Miranda, Charlote & Carrie.

1st time in a long period of stagnation she's in love. In fact, her new relationship has not started yet. So there's a lot of romance in that. (oh, God! I love beginnings!). She can expect flowers and nice text messages. And for sure – she's got stomach full of butterflies by now. (Let's wish good luck, no matter how long this relationship will last.) A dreamer, doesn't like to complain. Open-minded, shy, loves men's company.

3rd Miranda, Charlote & Carrie.

Insensible and emotional by occasion. Once or even twice hurt. So there's no problem for her to avoid feelings, if the romantic soul awakens and suddenly disapproves of instant guy, who didn't approach in desired way. Rationalist is doing great job! So no extra unwelcome feelings. Just ignorance. That's her benefit and drawback either. The heart remains untouched, locked with 7 keys. It was enough that once someone put a shit there. Open-minded, positively-determined, loves men's company.

The bottle is finished. Round tour. Next stop – the bar few streets farther. On the way met German speaking tourists asking for hostel direction. Those 3 would love to help – but there was no emergency for hostel in Riga ever. So the question remained cloudy for every participant of this conversation.

Moving further. The bar. Smiling and handsome bartender, bottles of alcohol set in shelves, alighted with red light bulbs.3 beers, please! The same taste and the same reason! Again for SEX! A year ago they couldn't imagine that they will talk and DRINK for sex! So it's a bit confusing by now. It should be like – rationalist should complain about political affairs as usual, dreamer – just flying somewhere in clouds, and passionist just doing a little bit of both.

The conclusion about sex theme that evening – have sex without any obligations. The man and relationship, flowers and bla bla bla stuff can come along after (or not). Encouraged to be Samanthas at least once. Nothing to loose. At least the feelings remain for White Princes, who'll appear someday. Just have to wait for the right moment. Before that it's time for losers and those self-assured – choose the most likeable! Enjoy. With condom and without commitments! Is it possible?

P.S. After few beers they split. Rationalist went to free movies night organized by Culture Academy. Passionist stayed at the bar to meet some friends and got drunk pretty fast. Dreamer just went out to look at the stars.
