Thousands of fabulous Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda wannabes braved 90-degree NYC heat and hours of standing in line as open casting calls were held for the sequel to Sex and the City, the wildly successful big-screen adaptation of the long-running HBO drama of the same name. Film producers put out the call in search of “models, celebrity types, upscale socialites, gays and lesbians, international types and professional soccer players” — and an estimated 5,000 hopefuls showed up, dressed to the nines and looking for a big break with a small roll that will earn them major bragging rights but little in the way of loot ($93.50 each plus overtime for a 12- to 16-hour day on the set). That certainly won’t pay for a pair of Manolos, but worth the wait nonetheless. Click here for a casting call look book including the faux-hawked gays pictured.
