"Okay, so you're not Heidi Klum, but you're the
'modeliest' of the real people." - Stanford
Carrie faces a bit of an identity crisis when she's
asked to be in a big fashion charity show featuring
both models and real people. Samantha, on the other
hand, has no problem baring her body beautiful, and
decides to have nude photographs taken, insisting they're
for herself, not for men. Utterly unaware of her sex
appeal, Miranda is shocked when Dave, a guy from Crunch
gym, tells her she's sexy and asks her out.
Carrie realizes we can see our friends perfectly, but
we can't seem to see ourselves clearly. After some convincing
from her friends - and when she finds out she can keep
the outfit - Carrie decides to be a "model."
Meanwhile, Charlotte discovers that she has "vulvodynia"
and that she needs to take anti-depressants - not for
her mind but for her vagina. The girls are surprised
when Charlotte reveals that she's never looked at herself
up-close because she finds herself ugly down there.
Miranda's first date with Dave is a success and she
starts enjoying feeling sexy. However, when she exhibits
her self-confidence on their second date, Dave doesn't
respond. Samantha brings in her nude photo to be framed
and is dismayed when the framer doesn't react to her
body.
On the night of the fashion show, Carrie is informed
there's been a wardrobe change and she has to wear a
tiny pair of jeweled underwear. She freaks, but all
done up and looking fabulous, Samantha assures her that
she is a model. Carrie starts her walk down the runway
only to fall flat on her face. Faced with a choice,
Carrie gets back up and finishes her catwalk to cheers.
Her act of bravery inspires the girls. Miranda confronts
Dave about why he hasn't called her and finds out he
thinks she's full of herself. Samantha's night is made
when a take-out delivery guy sees her photo and comments
on her "nice ass," and Charlotte grabs a mirror
and takes a good, hard look.
