I’m so glad that I finally have time to catch up with my TV shows since New Zealand. I know Gossip Girl will be starting soon (yes!)… and Cashmere Mafia‘s future isn’t looking too bright. Alas, I’ve managed to watch the most talk-about TV show (or Cashmere Mafia‘s arch rival) by the mother of ‘Sex and the City‘, Candace Bushnell – Lipstick Jungle. Oh yeah, more pretty clothes, sex, scandal, relationship hiccups and hot men (do I sense a Mr. Big equivalent?)… I mean how can I not be ecstatic right? My verdict (after 3 episodes): I love it, but it’s not Sex and the City. Nothing to date seems comparable to the hit TV series – not even Cashmere Mafia. But, I see potential in Lipstick Jungle. The show is starting to grow on me. And I’ll tell you why:
No. 1 Girl Crush: Victory Ford (played by Lindsay Price)
NBC said that, “This sexy new drama follows three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game.” I am forming a girl crush on Victory Ford, played by Lindsay Price (Beverly Hills 90210, Coupling) – just look at her. She’s soooooo pretty! Her exotic good looks originated from her Korean/German/Irish/American heritage and I seriously can’t stop looking at her. And of course, she wears the cutest clothes in the show! She plays a fashion designer so technically, she should be wearing the most trendy and chic clothes among the girls.
Victory Ford: Girly & Chi-Chi
From Episode One, I heart the thick red head band that she was wearing to her runway show at Bryant Park. Her style almost parallel with Blair’s from Gossip Girl which is very classy and at the same time, fun and chic. The pink bubble dress she wore for her date with mysterious billionaire is sooo adorable
Victory Ford: Smart & Classy
Victory gets down to serious business when necessary. Her free-spirited character adds some laughs and smiles. Her facial expressions is so animated when she’s all wired up by some crazy drama. Don’t we love dramas? Well, especially when we’re not involved in it. I love the way she accessorize with layers and layers of pearls over the sleek white shirt-blouse. And, I love pink… and I can’t emphasize enough how much I love that dress on her.
Victory & Joe: Love is All You Need
Joe is kinda like Mr. Big but he cares ‘more’ and he’s bossy. So he’s the man in Victory’s life right now… I don’t know about him. He can be charming at times, but he doesn’t exudes sexual tension like Chris Noth playing Mr. Big. You know… I don’t know. He doesn’t make me wanna push him against the kitchen counter (ok, this ends here). But they make a cute couple (been using the word ‘cute’ alot hurrr). Her style is impeccable.
Nico Reilly (played by Kim Raver)
I’m not going to mention Brooke Shields character because there is nothing worth mentioning. The other character that caught my attention is Nico Reilly played by Kim Raver (24) who is editor-in-chief for Bonfire magazine (Think Vanity Fair). And, she’s hungry for some real meat. I love the coats she wears in the show – her style is clean, professional, confident and very fierce. You know you don’t wanna mess with her. And, she’s sleeping with the hottest guy on the show. I present to you…

Kirby Atwood (played by Robert Buckley)
One word: YUMMY. Half of the time, he’s not wearing a shirt. He’s hot and steamy over Nico – how can you not enjoy this? My boyfriend claimed that I was watching soft porn – haha. Forget Mr. Big equivalent. We want young, hot meat… err, I mean men.
