Believe it or not, there are parts of Mexico City that resemble the glamorous Manhattan world of Carrie and friends.

Mexico City fashionistas sip cosmos (or more likely mojitos) at exclusive bars and shop for shoes by cutting edge designers. Of course this world is just one small slice of the hemisphere’s biggest city, which has fallen head over heels for the new “Sex and the City” movie. According to a poll in the Mexico City Reforma newspaper, 92 percent of Mexico City’s denizens liked the move and nearly 70 percent say it was as good as the original series.

So who do Chilangos (as Mexico City residents are called) most identify with?

It’s probably no surprise that 40 percent go with Carrie, but in second place is the prim and proper Charlotte, with 20 percent. Wild child Samantha (who would probably fit best into the city’s raucous nightlife scene) is third with 15 percent, while staid Miranda apparently doesn’t connect with Mexico City audiences (just 5 percent).
