Can Real Moms Relate to 'Lipstick Jungle'?

Guest Blogger Role Mommy rates the new series.

I was all excited to watch NBC's Lipstick Jungle last night--hoping it would be a more Mommy-centric Sex and the City.
I was sadly disappointed. Sure these women are incredibly stunning and
lead fantastic lives, but lots of moments bugged me after watching the
show, I've detailed them for you:
- The kids running around the bedroom and the cat puking on the bed was totally authentic, but do real power women wear lingerie to bed and look Brooke Shields gorgeous when they wake up in the morning? Thinking: no.
- Has a hot younger man ever written his phone number on your thigh
... in permanent marker? Please. But if so, please put his number in the "comments" below.
- Is Andrew McCarthy supposed to replace Mr. Big? Sorry Andy, you're no Chris Noth.
- What's Wendy's (Brooke Shields) fascination with
muffins? Do we need to know that she can stuff her face with cakes, champagne and muffins and still have a killer body? No.
- I think I'll give Lipstick one more week, and I may even buy some sexy lingerie to get into the mood.

The program is a lot like cashmire mafia… The writing is poor… it has some awkward moments where you go “what? that didn’t make sense.
However, I do like Andrew McCarthy in it. I never liked Mr. Big… but I do like the billionaire!
and as much as I like Brooke Shields, I’m not a fan of her in this show yet… but because I enjoy watching her… I’ll come back for the next one! HOpefully it will grab me. If not.. I can use the DVR space for another show!







You should all watch Cashmere Mafia! I love it! Kind of the same story line but from what you’ve said, more realistic. I have Lipstick Jungle on DVR but I have’nt watched it yet. I know what I’m doing tonight!
