"I don't believe in entering merger negotiations unless I'm absolutely certain it is a lifetime investment." Are you swooning yet? Me neither.
"Why am I not married? I'm a businessman," he says. It's a mystery why Victory (and the producers) keeps him around so long-unless the reason is money, which would explain the total lack of connection between the two. She gets better toward the end, with a strong performance in Episode 6, but for most of the season she seems uncomfortable and unsure (the tell-all book describes Wendy as "shallow as a bedpan and twice as cold," which cuts a little too close to the truth).Ĭhemistry is another problem: Shields and Blackthorne are D.O.A., while McCarthy is an absolute dud. When forced to lead a scene, she frequently falters.
She can't quite sell the jokes or the tears, and does her best when she follows the lead of her co-stars or gets to bounce off them. She comes across a little too wooden, and plays all the material safely in the middle. Price doesn't have the same acting chops, but she's an engaging personality and makes you root for Victory. Her Nico is strong yet flawed, and Raver sells it with the most passion and believability. The show is at its best with Raver, who outshines them all. The result is somewhat entertaining in spots, but there's a lot of work to be done if this show hopes to survive Season 2. The show attempts to balance the women's struggles with love, friendship and work through a sometimes dramatic, sometimes comedic lens. She also has a crisis to deal with: a design-stealing protégé (a far better sub-plot than the ridiculous missing hat hoohah). Wendy soon has to fend off a tell-all book about her-a project being pushed by a bitter publisher (Lorraine Bracco, eating up the scenery a little too much), while Victory has to fire her staff and move her office into her home. We also discover that Shane-who spends more time raising the kids-has issues being in Wendy's bread-winning shadow. The show wastes no time in setting up the drama: Nico strikes up an affair in the first episode with young photo assistant Kirby Atwood (played by Robert Buckley, and if you'll forgive my lack of professionalism for one moment: homina homina homina! Warning: more immature crush comments to follow!). Nico is married to professor husband Charles (Christopher Cousins), a relationship we immediately realize has lost its passion. Meanwhile, Wendy balances work with her busy home life, raising two kids with husband Shane (Paul Blackthorne). She soon meets wealthy businessman Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy), striking up a relationship as she tries to reignite her creativity. But while Wendy and Nico are on the rise, Victory has tumbled to the bottom, the result of a disaster showing at New York's Fashion Week. Both are friends with fashion designer Victory Ford (Lindsay Price, who has appeared in may shows over the years, her longest stint coming on Beverly Hills, 90210).Īll three have made the recent list of New York's 50 Most Powerful Women from Wall Street magazine.

Lipstick revolves around three friends: Wendy Healy (Brooke Shields) is the president of Parador Pictures, a top movie studio owned by the same corporation that publishes Bonfire magazine, led by editor-in-chief Nico Reilly (Kim Raver, best known for her work on 24 and Third Watch).
GIANT BED FROM LIPSTICK JUNGLE SEASON 2 EP 12 SERIES
As if that wasn't a big enough challenge for this mid-season replacement, it had two more things working against it from the start: the writer's strike dealt it an even shorter season and the debut of ABC's Cashmere Mafia, a show from Sex and the City creator Darren Star about-that's right!-successful New York businesswomen, premiered a month earlier.īoth new shows aired just seven first-season episodes, and after the dust settled, NBC announced the series will return-while Cashmere will be out of style for fall. Shot through with high-end labels and a smart, snarky sense of humour, LIPSTICK JUNGLEÆs sophomore season finds the women dealing with everything from infidelity to out-of-control clients."This business is mean.I need a cupcake."īased on the 2005 novel by Candace Bushnell, Lipstick Jungle draws immediate comparison to the author's legacy- Sex and the City, another show about powerful, successful New York businesswomen. Luckily, she always has her best friends-up-and-coming designer Victory (Lindsay Price) and magazine editor Nico (Kim Raver)-by her side to lend a hand. Brooke Shields stars as Wendy, a movie producer struggling to raise a family while climbing the corporate ladder. In the spirit of SEX AND THE CITY, LIPSTICK JUNGLE follows a trio of Manhattanites as they attempt to balance careers, relationships, and a passion for fashion.
