Annie sat under the old oak tree, the magic racket resting in her lap. The summer sky was painted with streaks of pink and orange, but she was too busy dreaming to notice.
Her fingers tightened around the handle. “Where will you take me this time?” she whispered. A sudden warmth spread through her palms. The air around her began to shimmer, and in an instant, she was somewhere else entirely.
She felt the grass beneath her feet before she even looked up. A hush fell over the crowd. When she lifted her head, she realized she was standing at Centre Court, Wimbledon.
The scoreboard glowed in the sunlight: Wimbledon Final, 1953 – Maureen Connolly vs. Doris Hart.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
