Carrie Bradshaw: The Early Years

Just when we thought we were going to have to give up the Manolos and go back to a world without Carrie Bradshaw, Candace Bushnell is throwing the women of America another "Sex and the City" bone... or rather, she's introducing a whole new generation to the world of Carrie.

Bushnell has just signed on to write two young adult books about a high school aged Carrie (books that are sure to give the ones penned by Carrie-wannabe Lauren Conrad a run for their money).  According to Pop Sugar.com, teenage Carrie will be the leader of her social crew and a trend setter for the high school set.  So more "Gossip Girl", less "Square Pegs."

Personally, I don't quite buy it.  I think writer Carrie Bradshaw was probably a bit of a misfit.  I don't remember too many "mean girl" types from my high school days up and moving to New York to become sex columnists.  Hopefully, teen Carrie will maintain her quirk without giving it to the shine of being a popular kid.  And if she does, well, hopefully, Miranda will make a cameo in all her brace-faced glory (cause you know she had them).
