Everywhere city girls are planning when they will see the  Sex in the City movie. And of course, a pre or post movie party is a must. I met friends last night at The Smith in NYC (across the street from the movie theater)  for a pre- movie party.  I haven’t have a cosmo in years, but managed to get in the spirit of the movie with a cosmo in hand, as did my friends. (Pic is of city girl pre-movie party)

Guess who was there???  ESTHER!  I observed her  and must say,  I was extremely impressed with her eating and drinking. I have seen her in action in the past and it is not always so good!

The potential problems at pre-movie party:
1. Lots of tempting fattening goodies on the menu (pic is of Alba, event planner, eating fried hushpuppies with mayo sauce - trying to tempt Esther)

2. Getting caught up talking with friends and losing track of cocktail intake… one city girl (who shall remain nameless) was observed consuming 4 cosmo’s in 40 minutes (Pic is of Martha and Esther)3. Multiple appetizers were ordered instead of entrees. This can add up to more calories as you tend to pick more and forget about the quantity of food you are eating (versus ordering grilled fish and veggies where you know exactly what is on your plate)

How Esther handled the potiential problem situation:
1. She ordered her own tuna tartare appetizer and stayed away from the other tempting appetizers  (Pic is of Esther eating tuna tartare)

2. She did not stand right at the bar near the appetizers. Instead, she stood away from the food.

3. She spent more time talking to her friends instead of eating.

 4. She paced herself with the alcohol and enjoyed a vodka and soda and small martini. She also drank plenty of water.  (Pic is of city girls at the party)

So city girls, use some of Esther’s damage control tips at your Sex in the City movie party!
