Blogger Charlee Iddon posted on Friday about the similarities between Claudia Carroll’s novel, Personally, I Blame My Fairy Godmother and dialogue used in Bridget Jones, Friends and, especially, Sex and the City.
Carroll: I’ve always thought the witch in Hansel and Gretel is a deeply misunderstood woman. She builds her dream home and two brats come along and eat it?
SATC: But the witch in Hansel and Gretel — she’s very misunderstood. I mean, the woman builds her dream house and these brats come along and start eating it
Carroll: I panic dated… then I panic married now I’ve met the one
SATC: I panic dated, now I’ve panic married just before I met the one
Carroll: It’s a huge mistake to think you can change a man, apart from clothes and hair that’s it because mark my words once you pull at that thread the whole fabric falls apart
SATC: The only things you can work on are their hair and wardrobe. -But even then, it’s a constant battle… Be careful with alterations. If you pull the wrong thread, everything falls apart.
‘Homage’ surely?
