Samantha Jones is my spirit animal. If you were to look up "bad ass bitch" in the dictionary, you would see her triumphant, don't-give-a-hoot-what-you-think face smiling back at you. She defied all female stereotypes about sexuality, age, and career. From her snappy one liners to her undeniable confidence, Samantha was a force to be reckoned with and a role model for all SATC fans. Here are some of her most memorable and educational moments.
1. Age Is Just A Number
While the rest of the gals were in their forties, Samantha was in her fifties! Yet she STILL looked better than everyone else and had the most adventurous wardrobe. Crop top at fifty? Hell yea! Short skirts at fifty? Bring it on! Talk about fifty and fabulous! #YOLO

2. Her Career Was Always Number One
Samantha didn't give a crap if any man was intimidated by her success. She prided herself on running a successful NYC public relations firm and never felt ashamed to brag about it. If Samantha ever believed in the mantra "it's a man's world," she certainly never showed it. Her career came before everything, and she worked hard to maintain her reputation as the best in the business.

3. A Lady In The Streets, But A Freak In The Sheets
In a world where women felt confined to how many sexual partners they could have or what people will think of their sex lives, Samantha turned the other fabulously contoured cheek. She had whatever kind of sex she wanted, as often as she wanted, with who ever she wanted, never once feeling shame in her game! Authoritative and adventurous, Samantha knew what she wanted from a man and was never afraid to demand it. Any man intimidated by her in-charge approach could hit the road! All hail Samantha's healthy, guilt free sex life! An example of the modern woman!

4. Samantha Didn't Have Time For Playing Games
You always knew what she was thinking. Whether she was telling a lover exactly what they did wrong in bed, or telling her friend about how she needs to stop the break up pity party and move on, Samantha always told it like it was. Was there a heavy amount of cursing involved? Sure, but if that is what got you to pay attention, then so be it! Oh, and if you have a problem with her or anything she said? Consider yourself forgotten!

5. Not Every Woman Has To Be Married With Babies
Samantha was more than happy to support her married or pregnant friends, but never once did she feel ashamed about not being either of the two. Confident, single, and a carrier of condoms, Samantha had more time to dedicate to her career and to maintaining a healthy relationship with herself. Wedding bells and baby booties were never on her agenda. No amount of judgment or peer pressure could ever force Samantha down that aisle. Besides, what would she wear? Certainly not white!

6. "I Love You... But I Love Me More."
While I'm still sour about her kicking Smith to the curb, I respect her constantly putting herself first. Always checked in to her needs, Samantha knew that she was not the settling down type of woman, and loved herself and Smith enough to set them both free. It would have been cruel of her to stay with him just to avoid hurting him, when there was a woman out there that would love being in a relationship with him more. She went on with her life, not mourning the loss of love, but celebrating a beautiful relationship and putting her happiness first. *insert preach hands and roof raising hands emojis here*

Bottom line: Samantha Jones was and forever will be one of the greatest and most inspirational females on television, and every woman should have a little bit of Samantha in her soul. End. Of. Story.
