News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Why settle for "Lipstick" when we could have "Cashmere"?

Brooke Shields attended the Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony to promote NBC’s Lipstick Jungle, which will premiere Thursday, February 7, in ER’s slot (after ER runs out of original episodes).

Along with Shields, the series stars Kim Raver and Lindsay Price as three high-powered executives in New York City. It’s based on a bestselling book by Candace Bushnell about a jungle full of lipstick-wearing animals. Or something like that.

While we’re generally happy to see series that feature strong female roles, Lipstick’s review by our resident TV critics, Lori and Sarah, was not exactly stellar. OK, they hated it. Hop over and view the preview, then join me in saying “eww.”

Buzz Sugar came up with an excellent idea that would lift us out of our disappointment that Lipstick Jungle looks to be so lame. ABC should run Cashmere Mafia in the same time slot.

The series, starring Lucy Liu, Miranda Otto, Frances O’Connor and Bonnie Somerville, was put on hold because of the writers’ strike, and this is the perfect time to release it. Why am I so sure?

I rest my case. ABC, are you paying attention?

    Kim Raver

    I wish she would move to Cashmere Mafia and seduce Lucy Liu. That would be some good television.

    here here

    This looks like no match for Cashmere Mafia (heres to hoping they dont go all 'Women's Murder Club' on the pilot!

    Is that Mariska Hargitay's husband next to Miranda Otto though, in the photograph??? Anyway, i digress...the sooner ABC start airing CM the sooner i can start watching it online (unless any UK channel will make my day and pick it up!!!)

    nope.

    Turns out its not Peter Hermann, Mariska's husband.

    Damn i thought it looked like him though. 

    Good job imdb is keeping me on the straight and narrow........well, not sure about the straight part

    sometime this weekend i saw an ad on tv for cashmere mafia, to premiere in january so i'm right now wishing i could fastforward december cuz the l word is also coming back. hopefully network execs don't push mafia back again.

    OMG

    Can you imagine if they torment us and play them on the same timeslots... I mean we can TiVo or DVR or tape or whatever, but still, that would just be wrong for L-Word and Cashmere Mafia to be played at the same time...

    And just about ANY woman seducing Lucy Lui is okay with me.
