From my last post, I’ve discussed the highlights of Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy. Here is the continuation:
Cashmere Mafia
Wow I don’t even know how to start this one. It doesn’t help that the story came from another book by Candace Bushnell, the brains behind Sex and the City. In the first place, I didn’t even care to finish Sex and the City, simply because I got tired of looking at SJP’s face. The stories became very immature, very unrealistic and veeery Carrie-centric (honestly, her character sucked so having stories revolve around her will likewise suck too). Besides, this was the time when TV series with much story depth were up, eg Lost, Desperate Housewives and even Heroes (which can sometimes lull me to sleep).
Ok back to the Cashmere. Hmm, well like the Sex, it has 4 characters with high-end vaginas. Lucy Liu plays Mia Mason a Publisher (I bet she’s the Carrie character here), Miranda Otto plays Juliet Draper a hotel executive (very reminiscent of Charlotte York but not as annoying), Frances O’Connor as Zoe Burden an Investment Executive juggling motherhood with work (hmmm sounds like Miranda) and Bonnie Sommerville as Caitln Dowd a Cosmetics Exec currently experimenting with her sexuality (grand slam Samantha!!).
Highlights:
1. Lucy Liu’s spunk is legendary; therefore it would have been easy to point out highlights of her character, but not so much here. I love here clothes here though. Ahh I remember something funny. It was when she made out with Zoe’s “manny” and she was caught by Zoe smeared lipstick and all.
2. For me, Juliet Draper’s role has more depth from the rest of the main cast. I think the highlight will have to be when she finally broke it off with her philandering serial liar husband.
Zoe’s highlight will have to be when she resigned right there and then right in front of everyone. I wish I could do that one!
3. Caitlin’s highlight – when she was having lunch with the lesbian friends of her current lesbo beau and she hit it off with a cute guy from the bar.

Lipstick Jungle
This series is waay better than Cashmere. The characters have more depth and the show will never remind you of Sex and the City. It stars Brooke Shields as Wendy Healy a Film Studio Executive, Kim Reiver as Nico Reily a Publication Exec, and Lindsay Price as Victory Ford a Fashion Designer.
Highlights:
1. Wendy Healy’s highlights will have to be during the time when Janice Lasher, true to her name, came out to publish her unofficial biography as dictated by her ex-nanny. Janice Lasher is just as annoying and you can’t really help but sympathize with Wendy.
2. Nico Reily gets to have the steamy scenes here. She sleeps with hot Kirby Atwood (Robert Buckley) almost half her age. Kirby is falling in love with her, Nico almost fell but then her boring husband had a heart attack (not after the fact).
3. Victory Ford’s uber rich boyfriend is instrumental to her current life’s highlights. A quickie and a meal in Paris at Coco Chanel’s studio with the view of the Eiffel and dinner with friends in New York.
