Employee Discount
For Kristin Davis, Sex and the City isn't just a hip acting gig, it's also her favorite place to shop. At the end of each season, the stars of the HBO series—Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Davis—get first dibs on snapping up their characters' fabulous frocks. "We buy them at very discounted prices," says Davis, 36. "A lot of our clothes are samples from the designers, so we have to give them right back because they're one of a kind. But about half our wardrobe is left. We pick one free thing and pay very little for the rest. Last year I had to write a check for $1,000, and I got two big boxes of good stuff. A lot of Prada, a lot of leather, and I bought some of Cynthia's cashmere sweaters."
