Fashion..Candace Bushnell pens Carrie Bradshaw's High School Days

Carrie Bradshaw from the hit TV series and movie "Sex and the City" is leaving Manhattan's Upper East Side and heading back to school.

HarperCollins Publishers said it had signed the author behind the hit series, Candace Bushnell, to write about Carrie's high school years in "The Carrie Diaries" which will be released in two books starting from fall 2010. The publisher said in a statement that the diaries would focus on Carrie's formative years in high school, giving an inside look at her friendships, romances, and how she realized her dream of becoming a writer.

The books will be Bushnell's first teen novels, and the latest installment in what has proven to be a successful franchise with global popularity.
As well as "Sex and the City", which was made into a hit six-season HBO TV series and movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie, Bushnell has written "Four Blondes", "Trading Up" and "Lipstick Jungle" which is now also a TV series. Her latest novel, "One Fifth Avenue", is due out shortly.

Honestly this seems like a milk the cow till it's dry situation. At the same time you know theses little teenage girls are going to buy into it. I personally don't like the fact that they keep drawing out this "Sex In the City" kind of stuff, just let it go.. I am looking forward to her novel "One Fifth Avenue", I read a couple excerpts in last month's Elle magazine and it's definitely a page turner.

Are you anticipating Carrie's high school days, or any of Candace's other projects? Or has she already beaten that horse to death? Let me know.
