'Sex' doesn't play in Peoria Our reporter's assignment: Flesh out this blue-collar town's reaction to the black bras and pouf skirts of HBO's fashion-trendy 'Sex and the City'

PEORIA, Ill. -- Rich Schultz doesn't know whether to plant me in the soil or put me in a vase.

Maybe that's because a pink rose is peeking out of my hair, the layers of my skirt pouf out like petals (albeit black ones) and an orange scarf is wrapped around my upper arm like a vine.

''It's like you're from The Carol Burnett Show,'' says Schultz, 30, screwing up his face.

Well, actually, it's Sex and the City, or so I'm hoping.

In its four years on HBO, the Sunday-night comedy about a quartet of New York women, which cleaned up yet again at the Golden Globes, has become famous (or infamous) for what comes out of the closet as well what goes on in the bedroom.
