If its Wednesday night at 10 p.m. please don't call me. If you do call, I probably won't pick up as I am watching season two of Lipstick Jungle on NBC. This show was developed from Candace Bushnell's best selling book of the same name. Bushnell is also the creator of the well known Sex in the City series characters.
Yet, aside from having the same setting (NYC), fantastic fashion and female camaraderie, Lipstick Jungle isn't a carbon copy of SITC. In fact, its more tame than Sex in the City (meaning there aren't new guys in the ladies beds every other episode). Plus, we actually see the women working!
Brooke Sheilds character, Wendy, is a top movie executive and mother struggling to juggle the needs of her family and her career. The dazzling Kim Raver plays Nico an editor-in-chief of a magazine who is dating a younger man. Lindsay Price is Victory Ford a fashion designer with the guts to dump her billionaire boyfriend to maintain her independence.
The women are supportive of each others goals and man trouble. Their relationships frequently emphasis caring for one another over caddy backstabbing. Sure, this is still TV and there are a few unrealistic moments. But Lipstick Jungle is worth taking a peak at. If you missed the first season, its available on DVD.
