What happened to the brunette we met in the original SexAndTheCity pilot?

If so, did you notice anything different? Anything strange about the way Carrie looks in the pilot? Because from where I’m sitting, she looks very different.
For starters, she’s a brunette. Her hair is cut into a short, frizzy bob. She wears dark eye shadow and a lot of black. Her apartment is way smaller and messier. In my mind, she actually looks like a writer — and, of course, a lot more like me, an average person who also happens to be a writer, which is probably why I’ve always been so obsessed with this mysterious, moodier version of Carrie that we never see again.

It’s normal for things to look a bit different in the first episode of a television show if it hasn’t been fully green-lit yet. For example, Carrie’s apartment probably looks smaller because the show didn’t have the budget to build it out. But Parker reportedly wasn’t happy with the episode at all. She “hated” the look, the clothes — “a lot,” she said in an interview.
Of course, the Carrie we know now is blonde just like Candace Bushnell. Her hair in episode two is much longer, and her wardrobe is much more fun and flirty. I still can’t help but wonder about the Carrie from the pilot, though. Where’s her spinoff?
