- While Carrie and Stanford hang out at the bar of Brasserie 8 1/2 in midtown Manhattan, they run into Lynn Cameron, an old friend, who is producing a NY fashion show featuring real models and famous New Yorkers as models. She insists Carrie model in the show for her. Meanwhile, Miranda can't believe it when hunky guy at her gym asks her out on a date, telling her he thinks she's sexy. Samantha is trying to get ready to pose for nude photos, sticking to a healthy, organic diet. She says she wants to remember her body as it is before everything goes south. Charlotte has to make a trip to her gynecologist because, as it turns out, her vagina is "depressed." Her doctor gives her anti-depressants and tells her to keep a vagina journal. Later, she sets up Stanford with her old wedding stylist, Anthony Marantino, for Carrie's big day as a model. When he had asked her about Stanford on the phone, Charlotte described him as a young Ed Harris. When Anthony sees Stanford at the fashion show, he is not happy, and he takes off. Carrie is backstage at the fashion show, thinking she's going to wear a beautiful blue sequined dress by Dolce & Gabbana. Backstage, the designer (played by Alan Cumming) says there has been a change of plans. She's now wearing a pair of jeweled panties. Carrie freaks out. He says not to worry, there's also a great blue jacket with it. Carrie's not sure she can go on stage like this. She asks Samantha to comeback stage to tell her honestly how she looks. She tells her she's a model and she looks fabulous. Carrie goes on stage and promptly falls in her stiletto heels. Heidi Klum follows her down in the runway, and Stanford exclaims, "Oh my God! She's fashion roadkill!". Carrie can't do much else besides get up and laugh it off and flash her best smile. Her courage to get back up inspires her friends to face their fears as well.—Lradloff
- Carrie is reluctant when asked to be a celebrity model in a high-profile fashion show organized by designer Lynne (Margaret Cho). Carrie is very reluctant, even though Samantha tells her that this is a fabulous opportunity and that she would get to keep the clothes. Carrie is only OK, after Lynne tells her that Dolce and Gabbana picked her for their dress. Paul Denai is the D&G photographer and Oscar (Alan Cumming) is the stylist. Paul Denai asks Carrie out on a date, while Oscar selects the right dress for Carrie. Carrie is ecstatic with the dress D&G have finally selected for her.
Carrie shares a kiss with Paul Denai after discussing his life's work over at her apartment. Carrie has a nervous breakdown when Oscar changes the dress at the last second and wants Carrie to wear Jewelled underwear. Carrie is mortified, but Oscar orders big hair and big eyes to go with the underwear and coat ensemble.
Carrie calls in Samantha for her true opinion and she gives her a thumbs up. Carrie meets Heidi Klum, who loves her look. On the walk, Carrie falls flat on her tummy due to her high heels on which she trips. She gets up and finishes.
Miranda gets a lesson in confidence when a buff guy named Dave at the gym asks her out. He calls her sexy and Miranda is confused since she was wearing no makeup and was in a $3 sweatshirt. Miranda does not believe that Dave was sincere as nobody has ever called her sexy before. Miranda goes on a first date, and it goes well when Miranda is shy and quiet. Miranda is confident and sexy on the 2nd date and does most of the talking. But this time, the date was totally not into her. Miranda asks the guy at the gym a few days later, and he says that she seemed "a little full of herself".
Charlotte visits her gynecologist as she believes something is off with her vagina. She is told it is not a yeast infection, her vagina is simply depressed. Charlotte has been asked to "look" at her vagina daily using a mirror and keep a journal. Charlotte is not comfortable as she believes it looks ugly. Charlotte works up the courage to look at her "depressed" vagina (Vulvodynia) in a hand-mirror. She is prescribed a light anti-depressant. Turns out she had never seen her vagina and her friends have to talk her into it. After Carrie's courage on the runway, she goes for it.
Carrie asks Charlotte to set up Stanford (Willie Garson) with someone and she suggests Anthony Marantino (Mario Cantone (her wedding gown stylist). To convince Anthony, Charlotte says Stanford would be played by Ed Harris in a movie (when Anthony asks who would play Stanford in a movie). But when Anthony meets Stanford, he is put off that he is bald. Anthony yells at Charlotte that with his looks he could do a lot better.
Samantha immortalizes herself by having nude photographs taken. But she is disappointed when the photo framing guy won't give any special attention to her nudes. Her mood improves when a delivery guy looks at the photo in her apartment and compliments her behind.
