Candace Bushnell’s True Tales of Sex and the City at Canoe Place Inn

Candace Bushnell’s True Tales of Sex and the City at Canoe Place Inn

Candace Bushnell, otherwise known as “the real Carrie Bradshaw,” will be performing her one-woman show at Canoe Place Inn & Cottages on Thursday, August 17th at 8:00 p.m. Candace is the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Sex and the City, among several other bestselling novels, popular TV series, and blockbuster movies.

 

During her new one-woman show, she takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of life in New York City, and all the landmarks of the setting that inspired her most popular work, including Studio 54 and beyond. Candace will delve into some of her most fascinating stories whether they be about fashion, sex, or literature.

 

She spoke more about her successful career as an author, how it differs from performing, and what the audience can expect from her upcoming show at Canoe Place Inn & Cottages.

 

What was your main goal or message you wanted to get across when you wrote Sex and the City?

CB: I’d been writing about women, power, money, and relationships in New York since the early 80s and I’d been working to get my own column for years. Creating the Sex and the City column in The New York Observer felt like my big break—after 15 years of paying my dues in the city. Of course, I knew exactly what to do with the column as I’d already been doing a form of it for years, and, happily thanks to all those years of hard work, it was an instant success.

 

Have all your characters been influenced by your own life?

CB: All of my characters have been influenced by the characters I’ve encountered during my years in the City, from the late 70s to now.

 

How would you describe your writing style?

CB: Humorous, sharp, insightful. 

 

When did you know that you wanted to be a writer?

CB: At age eight.

 

Were there any big obstacles you faced early in your career?

CB: Of course! There was a lot of sexism in publishing. Much more than there is now.

 

Has your writing style evolved over time as your experiences and the world around you have changed?

CB: It hasn’t changed. I’ve always had a strong voice as a writer and a strong point of view about the world.

 

How do you define success as a writer? And what has it been like finding success in this industry?

CB: For me it’s taken an enormous amount of work and dedication to be successful in publishing. Writing is the number one pursuit in my life. 

 

Are there any writers or other creatives who have influenced you in a significant way?

CB: The classics. Edith Wharton, Tolstoy, Flaubert.

 

What do you think is the hardest thing about writing? What is the easiest?

CB: Writing is like playing an instrument. The more you do it the easier it is to get into the flow. The hardest part is getting back into it if I haven’t done it for a while.

 

What do you like most about performing and how does it differ from expressing yourself through writing?

CB: Performing is much easier than writing. With writing you have to come up with something new every day. With performing, you’re honing what’s already there. 

 

Do you have any pre-show rituals?

CB: I do a vocal warmup that’s also meditative. The great thing about performing is that you can’t think about anything else when you’re doing it!

 

What are you most looking forward to for your show at Canoe Place Inn & Cottages? 

CB: Connecting with the audience! During the show I play a game with the audience—Real or Not Real—because everything that happened on the TV show is a little bit better or a little worse than my real life—and the audience has to figure out which is which. I also love Canoe Place. So many famous people have performed there, it’s thrilling to be able to bring my show there.

 

Be sure to check out Candace Bushnell’s one-woman show for a delightful evening of wit, fun, and engagement at Canoe Place Inn & Cottages on Thursday, August 17th at 8:00 p.m. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://canoeplace.com.

Volunteering In The Hamptons: An Inside Look At Hudson’s Helping Hands

Volunteering In The Hamptons: An Inside Look At Hudson’s Helping Hands

  • Dust off your favorite witch’s hat and opt for a paddleboard instead of a broom for Paddle Diva & Wych’s Bloom’s inaugural Witches Paddle on Wednesday, October 29, from 4–6 p.m. at Paddle Diva (10 Boat Yard Rd., East Hampton, NY). A portion of the proceeds will go to the Surfrider Foundation’s Eastern Long Island Chapter and its efforts to protect the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches through dedicated activism. ⁠
⁠
We’ve all seen Witches Paddles grace our social media feeds, and now you can partake in the spooky fun! This tradition combines Halloween vibes with the healing power of nature as you glide and take in the beautiful Three Mile Harbor views.⁠
⁠
Gina Bradley excitedly shared, “I am thrilled to be hosting this at Paddle Diva’s permanent location inside Swan’s Marina (formerly Vanderveer’s). This kind of paddle has been on my mind for many years, as I’ve seen them in all parts of the world, and it looks so cool seeing all the witches gracefully gliding along the water. This is particularly exciting because we’ve joined forces with Wych’s Bloom, a local herbal apothecary brand, and Surfrider to raise money and awareness for ocean and clean bay initiatives that are crucial for our waters on the East End of Long Island.”⁠
⁠
“As an herbalist, Samhain, or Halloween, offers a special occasion for me to celebrate the healers who came before us to teach the wisdom of the plants in our region. I had seen people gathering for Witches Paddles all over the country, and as a surfer, I connected instantly with these events. When I texted Gina the idea, she was immediately in. That’s what I love about the women on the East End—they’re always up for an adventure,” shared Wych’s Bloom owner and Surfrider Foundation board member Christina Winters.⁠
⁠
Join us in taking part in this one-of-a-kind event! Craft a witch’s outfit and set sail at the inaugural Witches Paddle for a great cause.⁠

  • From Hollywood red carpets to Milan exhibits and Hamptons fashion shoots, Filbert Kung has photographed the world—but it’s his quiet, unguarded, and attentive nature that reveals the artist behind the lens.⁠ @filbert_kung 
⁠
I met Filbert Diego Kung at a Grey/Ven fashion event in Amagansett last summer. He’s one of those rare photographers who instantly puts you at ease—calm, composed, and naturally good at making anyone feel like they belong in front of his lens. Had I known then just how in-demand Filbert is in the fashion and photography world, I probably wouldn’t have asked him to snap a few shots of me goofing off on the red carpet. But maybe that makes me a model? Either way, it was my first glimpse of how effortlessly he captures people as they are. In my case, goofy-but-make-it-chic.⁠
⁠
Since then, I’ve seen him popping up around the Hamptons, often between flights to LA, Miami, or wherever the next big editorial or campaign takes him. Originally from the Philippines, Filbert has spent over fifteen years building a career that bridges Hollywood red carpets, high-fashion editorials, and fine art portraiture. ⁠
