Cashmere Mafia Softly Treads in L Word Territory
You probably
don't know the name Lourdes Benedicto just yet, but if you follow queer
story lines on episodic television, or you're just starved for lesbian
plots that exist outside of The L Word, then you may soon be a fan.
The actress - formerly of The Nine, 24, and NYPD Blue
- has been cast in ABC's midseason series Cashmere
Mafia
in a recurring role as the lesbian love interest of series regular Bonnie
Somerville (Friends, Kitchen Confidential, NYPD Blue).
The series will focus on a group of young female friends in New York City
as they juggle careers, relationships, and family obligations.
In other words, the PG-rated children of Sex and the City are
getting a show of their own, this time with same-sex coupling that lasts
for more than the length of a single episode.
