In a way, Candace Bushnell's Lipstick Jungle picks up where her career- defining book Sex and the City left off, in the money-soaked, power-hungry, beauty-obsessed jungle that is New York City. This time around, the ladies are a bit older, a lot richer, but not particularly Lipstick Jungle nor more endearing than Bushnell's earlier Lipstick Jungle. Lipstick Jungle weaves the stories of Nic Lipstick Jungle a way, Candace Bushnell's Lipstick Jungle picks up where her career-defining book Sex and the City left off, in the money-soaked, power-hungry, beauty-obsessed jungle Lipstick Jungle is New York City. As with Sex and the CityI spent a lot of time thinking about where women were today, and what I noticed was that there was a fascinating group of women in their forties who were leading non-traditional lives. They were highly successful and motivated, they often had Lipstick Jungle, and usually were the providers for their families, and yet, they didn't fit the old stereotype of the witchy businesswoman. Indeed, so many of these women were the girls next door, the girls who reminded me of my best friends when I was a kid and we used to fantasize about the great things we were going to do in life. Like the women in Sex and the Citythe Lipstick Jungle women are charting new lives for themselves, redefining what it means to be a woman when you really are as powerful, or more powerful, than a man. Of course, you probably want specifics, so I will say that there was a moment when it all clicked. Tina Brown used to write a terrific column in the Washington Postand one of the things she was always mentioning was Lipstick Jungle there was a group of powerful women who were meeting and lunching at Michael's restaurant. They'd been working for over twenty years, their children were now in their early teens and didn't need them every minute, and now, in their forties or early fifties, they had time to strive for new career goals and to spend more time with their girlfriends. I thought, "Aha--that's the Lipstick Jungle. A: To research fashion, film and publishing, I did what I always do--I talked to my girlfriends! Of course, it helps that I've worked in magazine publishing and have had my share of experience with Hollywood. I'm also lucky enough to Lipstick Jungle a couple of girlfriends who are top designers, who offered to help me out with the specific details. I still remember the afternoon when one of my girlfriends and I sat down to talk--she was over eight months pregnant, and I was worried that we were going to have to run to the hospital! Get A Copy.

If there is an award for the most ridiculous and unrealistic book ever, Lipstick Jungle would award it to Lipstick Jungle, written by Candace Bushnell. The one and the same author who wrote the widely-known "Sex and the City". I have always been suspicious of her writing talent though. When I finally had the chance to pick up the book and read it, my d If there is an award for the most ridiculous and unrealistic book ever, I would award it to Lipstick Jungle, written by Candace Bushnell. When I finally had the chance to pick up the book and read it, Lipstick Jungle disappointment was so big I was practically devastated. This is just bunch of crappy short stories which have no meaning and hard to relate to", so I said to myself after I finished reading it. A lot of my friends were in the same emotional wreck as I was after reading the book. All of them who idolise the four tough women in the series. But after awhile, the disappointment healed and I decided to give Ms. Bushnell another chance by picking up Lipstick Jungle novel of hers. A similar one, I must say where it portrays four women all above 40s - way more mature than the characters in Sex and the City who were Lipstick Jungle successful and with men in their lives. I guessed that Ms. Bushnell was so obssessed in the characters of Sex and the City and somehow regretted at making their lives rather unsuccessful as described by their inability Lipstick Jungle find Lipstick Jungle right men and their struggle to Lipstick Jungle their ends Lipstick Jungle after the last shopping spree at Manolo Blahnik or Chanel boutique. She tried to fix the characters in Lipstick Jungle where the women - who are mostly CEOs or at least directors of companies - never have problem in buying a diamond set let alone a pair of Jimmy Choos. Victory Ford, a famous designer, Nico O'Neilly, a famous magazine editor eventually CEOWendy Healy director of a film production company and an unimportant blonde Lipstick Jungle actress whose name I have already forgotten. As much as Ms. Bushnell was trying to stress the importance of girl power these Lipstick Jungle, she couldn't just drop the subject that women couldn't live without men, no matter how powerful they are - which actually contradicts the whole theme. Now I begin to wonder why dildo was created in the first place, eh? I can't help to wonder that the same theme, Lipstick Jungle reversed, has existed for centuries but regarded as the most natural thing on earth as portrayed by the dumbest TV series I have ever seen called "Desperate Housewives". Lipstick Jungle happened to equality? How come a staying home dad now suddenly makes a big deal out of the fact that his wife works so hard that hasn't have time to take care of the kids? Aren't their roles reversed in the very first place? Similar to Lipstick Jungle normal family in the mid s only that now the husband is the wife and the wife is the husband? She has a perfectly good family with uptight husband who does care about her and a good daughter only that she finds it's rather frustrating that the husband is so reliable and boring. Where does she run to when Lipstick Jungle bored? An underwear male model, of course - what else that is more effective in getting rid of boredom than having a Lipstick Jungle hot sex with an underwear male model? How come this is all so predictable? The only character that is somewhat normal in this book is probably Victory Ford, the single designer who Lipstick Jungle trying to make a fortune with her clothing and her brand name. She's probably the only character in the book that is Lipstick Jungle reading about although every single of her personality aspects scream the word "cliche". So what's left? What's so original about the book that is worth reading? I read it and I got disappointed. Another zero for Ms. Bushnell, unfortunately. Feb 06, Lora rated it did not like it.

I just saved myself and my tivo a lot of hours if the series is anything like the book. Nico, the magazine Editor-in-Chief, fights her way to the top, has an affair with a younger man, and ends it but never tells her husband. Victory, a famous fashion designer, falls in love with a billionaire and decides she too would like to have that kind of money by working hard at fashion. I see Lipstick Jungle book as a ridiculous attempt to capture the experience of Sex In The City without any real drama. View all 3 comments. I was very happy Lipstick Jungle find that this novel is not your typical chick-lit book and not at all like the Sex and the City novel which I found jarring and strange.
