Sarah Jessica Parker: De NYC a Santiago of Chile
His initials are almost as well known as those of their city. We traveled to Long Island for talks with SJP, the woman who made us dream and excite the Big Apple. We talked to her fashion, love, life at fifty and his upcoming visit to Chile.
The city that never sleeps. The Central Park, Times Square, Fifth Avenue ... and Sarah Jessica Parker. Eleven years have passed since the final episode of Sex & The City, and the actress who starred for six seasons Carrie Bradshaw has become synonymous with Manhattan. She is to New York what Sylvester Stallone to Philadelphia. And although his character does not even have a Rocky-like statue on the side of the stairs of the Museum of art, every yellow cab, every shoe store, and basically every corner, reminiscent of the series.
Married for 18 years to actor Matthew Broderick -are Thabita parents, James and Sarah Jessica Marion- has been away from television but not in the headlines. All their movements are documented by the press and public appearances a success. Like when he appeared at the Met Gala last with a hat made especially by Philip Treacy. Or when he thanked for the Empire State Instagram pay the terrace to celebrate his fifty years.
The day of the interview the city dawned with rain and strong winds forced the cancellation of flights. In the midst of spring, just five degrees centigrade and completely overcast sky.

Sarah Jessica is in the Attic studios, a former printing press in Queens who now works as a stage for various commercials and series. Here scenes of Gossip Girl, Saturday Night Live and The Carrie Diary recorded. Ripley commercial films today, the multistore that have an international image and thanks to which in October the actress will travel to Chile, a country that knows nothing, but have good references because few Chilean friends " I want to learn from their history and culture. I talked a lot about food, wine. I want to know everything! When I first went to a place I like to get lost in the streets, "he says.
Cuesta imagine walking in heels eleven centimeters Paseo Ahumada or the Central Vega, but insists he would love to go and mingle with people.
It does not behave like a diva. During the two days of the filming of the commercial greets everyone with a handshake, and distributes empty plates converses amid abundant catering. His assistants have to be a generous and concerned person. So much so that if someone gets sick he can go buy herself remedies and bring her home.
It is an innate seductive. Talks fast, like Carrie, looking at his eyes as if he were able to read the thoughts of the person you have in front. Move your hands gently and sits cross-legged. Jeans, blazer, a white shirt and shoes designed by herself. Nothing special if we knew that each item was carefully chosen for its army of collaborators, after visiting the workshops of the leading designers of the city.
The actress knows better than anyone the rules. Days before the interview revolutionized social networks (and the world) when he rose to Instagram a photo out of Bloomingdales. Many speculated with the return of the Sex & The City series, but was merely a masterful marketing strategy: -SJP- your shoes now be sold in the luxury department store. "At the moment are just shoes, we have five collections -pre fall, fall, pre summer, summer and resort- and it's something I love to do. It amuses me, the challenge motivates me and all the time we are in the creative process, "says excited about his new role as a designer. There are models for all tastes. From classic pumps inlaid with precious stones (like the one he used during this interview) to urban heeled sandals with nothing. They cost between 200 and 585 dollars, a price well below those signed by Manolo Blahnik, his mentor.
It is not high, nor particularly stunning. And while we got used to see thousands of bags of the most stylish stores in more than one occasion he stated that, by the sizes of New York, your closet is infinitely boy who had his remembered character. What catches the attention of Sarah Jessica is her hair, perfect, brilliant. And his stylized hands, not very different from any woman of fifty, with very neat but unpainted nails. Use towering stilettos, but three meters forward your personal assistant with a pair of flat sandals.
You are a universal fashion icon. Any time you have shown in public without makeup or style 'I woke up like this'?
No, never, never would! Step hours putting on makeup and getting my hair. My life is much more informed than I like, but it is my reality, and that's why I need time before going outside. Even when I have to take my daughters to school I need to cause me even a little.
'Do not you bored?
I've learned to live with my team of stylists ... not terrible professionals always have impeccable ready to let me go out.
I suppose I could get used to that part of the life of a celebrity.
'Do not think, my reality is not so different from other women, working mothers who need to dress quickly and go because they have arranged a compromise after another. The difference may be that my standard of 'look presentable' is a bit different. Nothing else. If you were offered to professionals and you'll lick it combs, perhaps would you say no?
Can you describe that standard of living?
Put down the girls at school, run away or meetings set, work all day but do not have a routine because my work is not schematic, I never know what the next day, I'm just sure it will be very busy and chaotic.
-¿Te Care about criticism?
No more than the rest of us ... I listen more to my friends that professional critics truth, and not give more importance than they really have. I do not read the bad and not the good. I try not to contaminate me, that does not affect me.
This has not been a year for Sarah Jessica. The shopaholic's most famous global television fiction in March turned half a century and is now preparing to return to star in HBO, the same place where he achieved fame infinite. Divorce in the series (the premiere is scheduled for late 2015 or early 2016) will portray a woman who is torn between staying married or try to rebuild his life: "It's great to be back on HBO. I feel fortunate the script and also the team, "he says. She, who has 18 beds, confesses that he is at an age when many are made the same question, and so I love the idea of exploring the issue. "There are many people who consider marriage, one that provides separate, facing yet another divorce and we will speak to everyone. Marriage is fun but is very complex, and that's what we're going to portray, "he says about the project.
-Comply 50 years is significant for any woman. Ever I read that they call 'the Ecuador of life'.
Wow, I like the concept. I find it a moment of my life very similar to the above, I do not put too much emphasis to change folio, but I do think it's an opportunity to take stock, to look back and see what things I have done. My way of dealing with my family, my work and my interests have not changed since I turned years.
Is there anything that makes you feel unsafe?
Well ... I am a human being! My biggest concern happens to be a good mother and a good professional. I try to meet expectations because it makes me a reliable person. But despite that, of course there are situations like that I feel insecure.
The Attic Studio is full of people walking in a hurry. In one of the rooms, Ripley team oversees every detail of the filming. It stopped raining and everyone starts running down the very steep staircase leading to the terrace. Up and down furniture and reflectors. The setting is stunning: all background Manhattan. But when they finish accommodate spark again. There are a giant plastic to cover the chairs and green and red waterproof coats for the whole team. Sarah Jessica is undeterred, and keep talking. Any mortal who has ever seen Sex and the City would be put in series. She always Carrie, like Stallone and Schwarzenegger will always be Rocky, Terminator.
Do you think that at some point people forget Carrie?
I do not forget it and hope nobody does. She was a very special character, capable of representing a large uniqueness Manhattan women at 30, 40 who until then had not been achieved. In addition, Carrie told wonderful stories and those ingredients make it unforgettable as other great female characters in world literature.
Always there is speculation about a new movie Sex and the City ...
'There will be Sex and the City 3. At the moment there are no plans, but you never know.
You've been years in New York. Would you leave the city for any reason?
Who knows where to take the adventure ... But even if for some reason my family and I we were to leave, would always remain our home, always we go back. I can imagine the possibility to take a sabbatical year, over something so permanent departure from New York. This is a city that has everything essential for us; is the family, there are good theaters, my job I love is here ... But the truth is that it could go a while, something like a break to travel with my children and my husband for a year.
Every woman in the world at some point in our lives we have dreamed of being Sarah Jessica ...
-That's true? It can not be true!
-¡Obvio Yes, believe me!
'I can not even imagine to be true. If it were, I would say that's probably because I do not really know, or know how my life. They have an idea or an image that is projected by the media and is not real, nor about me. Probably I have more in common with these people than they think. The things that amuse us, we make them feel alive, are secure them.
"Thank you, see you in Chile," he says in perfect Spanglish. And changing the handshake beginning two kisses, the best French style. Sarah Jessica knows how to conquer the world. It already has.
