Shallon Lester of MTV’s Downtown Girls explains how she handles sex in the city
Just as the Sex and the City franchise is taken out behind the barn (or Moroccan desert) and inhumanely put down by writer/director Michael Patrick King, another group of sexy young Big Apple BFFs are ready to step up and take its place. Shallon, Gurj, Nikki, Victoria and Klo are the next New York City estrogeneration and the stars of MTV’s Downtown Girls, a “reality sitcom” that follows the lives of these five real girlfriends as they traverse the treacherous landscape of career, fashion and boys in the City That Never Sleeps.
At the helm of this friendship is Shallon Lester, a relationship blogger for Glamour.com’s Smitten and former gossip columnist for New York Daily News‘ Rush & Molloy and Gatecrasher. Just as this witty, pretty City kitty prepares to cross over from writing about celebrities to becoming one herself, she sat down with us to discuss dating, writing, why boys send girls penis pictures, and how hard it is for a girl to get everything she needs from just one guy.
