Just coming back in to say...
Carrie Bradshaw was actually not a slut at all, IIRC. She had several boyfriends during the course of the show and certainly wasn't a prude, but I wouldn't call her a slut. I think the remark in the article was simply referencing the fact that Carrie was repeatedly shown to be a shoe-junkie and it was running joke on the show.
Still not someone I want my child to channel, but, you know, just putting it into perspective. <g>
