Meh. There's no shopping in Lipstick Jungle. The ladies are all too busy sowing seeds of discontent and adopting babies and screwing underlings.
Anyway, so a highly promoted interview with a notorious hooker beat out an episode of a show already publicly noted to be on its last legs? This is truly strange enough to read into it a cultural comment of some kind. I mean, obviously.
And now that it looks like Lipstick Jungle will be playing it's final swan song, can someone please explain to me what in the hell a 'lipstick jungle' is, really?
Is it in the back room of Sephora?
Is their a Foundation Fountain? A Blush Bungalow? Eyelash Plumping Island? Is there a whole world of cosmetics that I've never explored? Perhaps somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there is such a place, where all beauty products take refuge and propagate. Somewhere out there, there's a Hedonist Hideway, just waiting to be discovered.
I see that movie A Shopaholic Wankstress Confesses, or whatever it's called, has been pushed to the graveyard of February release. They're hoping cold weather will keep the torch-and-pitchfork brigade at bay.
Brooke Shields just hauled out the 21st century version of "but we're huge in Japan/Iceland/Scotland." It didn't work for my boyfriend's band back in '92 either.
thought I was this show's only viewer and have never admitted to anyone I know. It actually has some nice, believable, well-written moments, like the argument that between nico and wendy had over victory's head a few weeks ago. of course it was then ruined by them all fakely collapsing into laughter, but still. also, nico has the most fantastic clothes and jewelry i've ever seen on a female tv character- including S&TC.
I always thought that Sex and the City was far too nuanced. For example, could Samantha really be the slut and like handbags? It seemed like it would be too much for just one person to handle, having sex with many men then longing for that certain "It" bag. Just who are these complicated women?!? I would ask, clutching my head, and where is the programming alternative meant for me, a simple lad, where is my show filled with one-dimensional women with shiny hair and large jewelry?
Long story short, I'm glad NBC decided to resurrect Lipstick Jungle.
I admit I watch this too - on DVR. I had no idea that was a detriment to the show. I thought that Nielsen did the ratings with a live + 7 days dealio for those of us watching on DVR.

@ahotdoughnut:
absolutely agree- and the work politics, offices and behavior are actually realistic (unlike S&TC)
