The Creator of Sex And The City Decodes Gen Z Dating Slang

Hi angels! 🎀🪽You know I had to put Candace to the test... so I pulled out some of the Gen Z terms we use on a daily basis and had the woman who basically wrote the dating bible for an entire generation try to guess what they mean. From "the ick" to "situationships," let's just say some of these landed and some of them did NOT. Honestly though, half of these she probably could've coined herself back in the day. Watch the full episode for the real Sex and the City stories, dating advice, and so much more. xoxo, Olivia

The Woman Who Created Carrie Bradshaw: Candace Bushnell Gets Real on Booked, Blonde & Busy

Hi angels! This week on Booked, Blonde & Busy, I'm sitting down with the woman who created Carrie Bradshaw herself...Candace Bushnell. We talk about everything from the real stories that inspired Sex and the City, what New York nightlife was actually like before social media, dating in your 20s, financial independence, and why Candace's advice to young women today is to focus on getting the money. We also get into BookTok, modern relationships, her one-woman show, and what it's been like watching a whole new generation discover Sex and the City nearly 30 years later. Whether you're a Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha, this episode is for you. xoxo,  Olivia ✦︎ Listen To 'Booked & Busy' Everywhere You Stream → Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Zf0lWdrYI61m3OTd80Bxp → Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/booked-busy-w-olivia-ponton/id1848952840 → Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f5856969-999f-4aff-b523-ff96e1121a56/booked-busy-w-olivia-ponton ❤︎ Join The Conversation → Patreon (it's free!): https://www.patreon.com/cw/OliviaPonton → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olivia.ponton → TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamoliviaponton → Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/olivia_ponton12 Timestamps: 00:00-00:52 - Intro 00:53-01:21 - Beverage of The Day 01:22-09:52 - New York City Culture + Nightlife in the 90s 09:53-11:11 - Could 'Sex And The City' Exist In The World of Social Media? 11:12-14:35 - How SATC (The Book) Came To Be + The Stories Behind Them 14:36-15:47 - Mining Real Life for Inspo 15:47-18:17 - Working On The SATC Series, Lipstick Jungle + Candace's Writing Process 18:18-22:16 - What/Who Really Inspired Sex And The City? 22:16-25:47 - Does Candace Realize How Major SATC Truly Is? 25:48-30:28 - BookTok, Imitation As Flattery + The Cultural Impact 30:29-34:02 - What Would SATC Look Like In 2026? 34:03-39:45 - Candace Bushnell's One Woman Show 39:45-41:37 - What's It Like Having A New Generation of SATC Fans? 41:38-50:34 - If Candace Could Give Gen Z One Piece of Advice...
