So, this isn’t glutilicious, but tonight I watched the first-ever much-hyped Lipstick Jungle and I hate to say it but I’m hooked, the same way I’m hooked on Gossip Girl and Dirty Sexy Money. That is not to say that I didn’t think that the crying, skinny, angular Brooke Sheilds looked a little like a monster. I even said “ow” a few times to her camera angle - she seemed a little fierce. Overall: said to rival only Cashmere Mafia and to bring the Sex and the City vibe to network, I find myself oddly addicted to the small screen once again. I am a sucker for the soaps.Here’s the thing. Aside from great after-dinner space-out paint-my-nails, sign-my-Valentines TV are these shows even good? Nope; my husband sleeps during both of them (on the record, paying more attention to CM than LJ).
So here’s a poll: Which one do you guys like better? Lipstick Jungle or Cashmere Mafia?
For curious minds: the crock pot coq au vin (TRY THIS RECIPE with corn starch) was a smashing success and to the D.C. locals, I highly recommend buying a fresh rooster from Eco-friendly at the Arlington Farmer’s Market. Our meat tasted so fresh and tender and salty-sweet we wondered if we raised it in the backyard.

You know, I really don’t understand why these shows are ALL set in New York City. I mean, yeah, DC is known for having notoriously bland fashion, but we have plenty of ball-busting career women around here that own plenty of fabulous shoes. And I think that if someone made one of those shows, it could actually make DC a more fashionable place! Sort of like Steve Madden meets Nancy Pelosi.
Maybe we could call the show “The Lipstick Lobbyists” or maybe “The Posh Pundits” or even “District Housewives.” Or Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte should all relocate and make a sequel, “Sex and the District.”
