Yogel agrees: “It’s revitalized everyone’s marriage on the Upper East Side, everyone’s sex life.” “The person who recommended it to me said, ‘It will make you want to have sex with your husband.’ And it did!” says the mother, who asked not to be named. So why all the caught breaths? “It’s just a fun escape from the daily mundane of trudging kids around and, you know, marriage,” says a 40-year-old Upper East Side mother of three, who first heard about the book from her friends on Long Island. “My girlfriends were all buying their husbands silver ties for Christmas,” she adds, referring to protagonist Grey’s favorite neckwear, which he uses in the book to restrain Steele in bed. “It’s known as ‘The Book.’ Have you read ‘The Book?’ ” says Goldman, a mother of two.

Goldman, who lives in Closter, NJ, says the series has become such a phenomenon that her friends don’t even refer to the book by its title. “I found myself explaining what BDSM was to some of the moms at Saturday morning basketball,” says power publicist Alison Brod, who hails “Fifty Shades” as “the new kabbalah for female bonding in this city.”Īllysa Goldman, 42, says, “Kids have never seen their mothers reading so much.” (This is, after all, a family newspaper.) The descriptions get graphic-much more graphic - but they’re not printable here. At the touch of the leather, I quiver and gasp.” Unlike the florid descriptions found in your typical drugstore-variety bodice ripper, the details in “Fifty Shades” are reserved for the sex acts themselves: “Uncoiling from the floor, rising lazily, like a jungle cat, he points the end of the riding crop at my navel, leisurely circling it - tantalizing me. Except, you know, with lots of sex instead of vampires and abstinence.Ĭlose your eyes, flip to a random page, point to a line and you’re basically guaranteed to land on a graphic, adjective-laden sex scene (often involving multiple props). It’s like “Twilight” for the grown-up set. “Fifty Shades,” an erotica trilogy dubbed“mommy porn” by some, is rapidly becoming a cult hit among Manhattan women, who are exchanging well-worn paperback copies and excited whispers about the book’s “red room of pain” (a sex playroom) while meeting at Fred’s at Barneys or parent-teacher conference nights at school. “The last book I read was ‘The Help,’ ” says Yogel. Which wouldn’t be a big deal -except for this Upper East Side mom was engrossed in a triple-X novel about a 27-year-old billionaire, Christian Grey, who seduces college grad Anastasia Steele and trains her to become his submissive sex slave.
with my two kids while they’re watching cartoons and drinking milk, and I’d be reading it on the Kindle app on my phone,” she says. “I couldn’t put it down,” admits Yogel, 33, who shooed away mom friends at her son’s school pickup because she didn’t want to be distracted from her reading.

And some of them said yes without even reading the script.Michele Yogel devoured all 1,200- plus hot-andheavy pages of the “Fifty Shades” trilogy in less than two weeks. Parker also told INSIDER how Meryl Streep's interest in doing the sequel with her character dead got the rest of the original cast to do the movie. Late in the film, Cher, who plays Donna's mother and Sophie's grandmother, shows up on the island and sings the iconic ABBA song "Fernando" with Andy Garcia, a moment that made audiences everywhere scream with excitement. The other story, set thirty years earlier, shows how Donna (played by Lily James) met Sophie's three "dads," ultimately leading to Donna settling in Greece, pregnant with Sophie. Her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is running a hotel from the Greek Island where they lived together. In the present, Donna, played by Meryl Streep in the original 2008 "Mamma Mia," has passed away.
"Here We Go Again" tells two stories from two different time periods. INSIDER spoke to Parker leading up to this week's DVD, Blu-Ray, and On Demand release about the complex "Dancing Queen" sequence that involved 14 boats, and the decision to kill off the main character.
