[ 02:18 ]
Is it for love or wealth that we pick our partners? Maybe it's best to have both.
A dowry is highly desirable, unless of course you find Darcy and Pemberley House.
In this Freaky Friday-meets-Masterpiece Theatre comedy, two women have inexplicably switched bodies, time periods, and lives: One from Regency England, the other from 21st-century Los Angeles— they debate the pros and cons of life and love in today's world vs. Jane Austen's world. Inspired by the best-selling novels RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT and CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT.

Sex And The Austen Girl: "The 200 Year Old Virgin"...
Imagine the shock you'd feel if you were a sheltered lady from 1813 England who woke up one morning in twenty-first-century Los Angeles. In another woman's body. A woman named Courtney Stone. Who is, like you, unmarried. But who is not, like you, a virgin.
For Jane Mansfield, who is that lady from 1813 England, discovering that you are suddenly "a ruined woman" is far more shocking than fast-forwarding two hundred years into the future. Far more bewildering than landing in a world illuminated by electric lights, overrun by speeding horseless carriages, and stuffed full of too much information from a multiplicity of electronic devices undreamt of in Regency England.
And even more unnerving than being a ruined woman is the fact that it isn't unusual. Not one bit.

Sex And The Austen Girl: "Wedding Dress" Episode...
"It's bad enough to be stranded in Regency England while another woman takes over your life. Even worse that she's wearing your wedding dress. The one you hid in the back of your closet. The one from the wedding that never took place. Watch our time-swapping heroines clash over what it means to be dressed in white.
Ah. If only it were as simple today as it was in Jane Austen's time.

Sex And The Austen Girl: "Sell-By Date" Episode #14
Is 35 the perfect age to get married? Or is a 35-year-old woman long past her sell-by date? To 19th-century Jane, who has awoken in Courtney's 21st-century life, a single woman in her 30's might as well throw in the tea towel. Bad news for 32-year-old Courtney, who has landed in Jane's life in 1813 England. It's one thing to read about such things in Jane Austen novels, but quite another to be living them. Except that aren't we already living them in our marriage-mad modern world?
Ah. If only it were as simple today as it was in Jane Austen's time.

Sex And The Austen Girl: "Tell Tale Signs" Episode...
Ever wonder how you could have missed the signs (let's face it; the billboards) that screamed "He's just not that into you"?
Which of the following, for example, would be your first clue?
a. He spends almost your whole first date on his cellphone.
b. He doesn't pick up the check.
c. He never changes his Facebook status to say he's in a relationship with you.
d. He moves away and joins a regiment.
Answer (d) may not be typical for the twenty-first-century, but it did happen to a friend of Jane's. In 1813 England.

Sex And The Austen Girl: "Is He For Real" Episode...
"Wouldn't it be great if there were a foolproof decoder of male behavior, a dog-meter, if you will, that tells us if he's for real? Or, as Jane Mansfield, one of the heroines of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL would put it, is there anything that indicates his intentions are honorable?
""If a man shows interest at, say, a ball,"" says Jane, ""if he asks for your hand--particularly if it's more than twice in a night--then he is indicating that he has developed certain feelings towards you. And one can be sure that his intentions are honorable.""
Ah. If only it were as simple today as it was in Jane Austen's time.

Sex And The Austen Girl: "Shoot For Darcy" Episode...
Has there ever been a greater specimen of the male sex than that ultimate romantic hero, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE?And is there anything more satisfying than watching "the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world" humbled by the realization that it takes a lot more than a big bank balance to win the girl? Watch our time-swapping heroines swoon over the man who launched a thousand sequels--and especially that version of him played by Colin Firth. So what if you think Darcy's a fictional character?

Sex And The Austen Girl: "Clothes Make The Many"...
"In Jane Austen's time, there was no such thing as casual Friday. No t-shirts, jeans, or--heaven forbid--bare arms. In fact, not only did a gentleman wear a real shirt, he always wore over it a coat with tails and a neckcloth, especially in the presence of a lady. Can you imagine what one of those ladies would think of men's casual looks today? ""Everyone looks like farmers and workmen,"" says Jane, our time-traveling heroine from 1813 England. As for Courtney, who has taken Jane's place in Regency England, she's loving the Mr. Darcy fashion vibe.
