Ballet Board of directors, is a uniCeF am- bassador, and is the honorary chair for the american library association’s, Book Club Central. in June, she will publish A Place for Us by rst-time novelist Fatima Mirza, as Ed- itorial director of sJp for hogarth, within the hogarth imprint of penguin random house’s Crown publishing Group.
“i have no one to blame, but me,” she says of her stacked schedule. “i remind my- self that i’m busy because there are lots of things that i’m interested in and want to do.
More importantly, i remind myself that there are millions and millions of women who are working two and three jobs, with little or no support. My version of being overwhelmed is nothing compared to most working mothers in my country and probably yours.”
one thing satC fans (aren’t we all?) want for Christmas is parker stepping into her role of Carrie in the third movie, which has been called-off. “it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. i don’t expect that i will be playing her in the near future,” Parker says de ni- tively. instead of fueling the rumours around the highly publicized no-go, parker presses on appreciatively. “i have a lot of memories that i am fortunate to share with the entire cast. it was such an enormously privileged experience...to shoot on the streets of new york, with that amazing cast and our crew, [and] also to have had this relationship with all these women, that i spoke of earlier, who gave us so much of their time and affection— you know, i share that with them,” she says of satC devotees.
and let’s not forget the shoes and the city! The parade of designer footwear that lled Carrie’s (shoe) closet on the show inevitably inspired parker’s shoe-love and her sJp Col- lection. “i played a character who spent so many hours in them, and in such a wide vari- ety. i wore shoes from the turn of the century, all the way up to shoes that were just on a runway in paris the day before. you develop a real admiration for the discipline, for the work involved, and for the shoe’s history,” parker says. “i mean it’s a different kind of affection, but i love them, and i love being in business.”
as they say...the shoe must go on.
