Click Your High Heels for Lipstick and Cashmere
Sex and the
City, Desperate Housewives, and Ugly Betty proved that
glamorous, woman-centric shows could score big ratings numbers (and
massive gay followings).
So don't be surprised to see more of their ilk on TV this fall.
Brooke Shields will star in NBC's Lipstick Jungle, about three
successful 40-something women making their way in Manhattan.
And
if that sounds familiar, it's because Jungle is based on a
book by Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City.
Darren Star, the out mogul who brought Sex to TV, has in turn
created Cashmere Mafia for ABC, dealing with a group of female
executives in, yes, Manhattan, helping each other balance work, family,
and romance.
Polish up those Louboutins, girls - it's going to be a busy autumn.
