38!!Tropes in her life and work:
39* AllWomenLoveShoes: High heels especially. During a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W511rtnnlZM quick interview with Vogue]], one of her questions is "Heels or flats?" She just looks at the interviewer like "Seriously?"
40* BrainlessBeauty: Not one in real life but perhaps surprisingly for those only familiar with her through the wry Carrie, Parker [[TypeCasting played a lot]] [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick of bimbos]] in her early career (see her roles in ''Film/LAStory'', ''Film/HocusPocus'', ''Film/MarsAttacks'', ''Film/TheFirstWivesClub'' and ''Film/StateAndMain''.)
41* IAmNotSpock: [[invoked]] Probably permanently linked with Carrie in the public mind, though she has had a busy post-''Sex and the City'' movie career.
