Lipstick Jungle Rundown: Episode Six, "The Lyin', The B*tch, and The Wardrobe"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:30:37 -0800

The latest episode of Lipstick Jungle (and first on Fridays, so here it is if you missed it) brings our friends together for the big opening of Victory's store — which, naturally, threatens to become a disaster. Meanwhile, Wendy starts figuring out her post-Parador plans and Nico gets babies on the brain. To talk about it, just

Lipstick Jungle Rundown: Episode Three, "Let It Be"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:30:58 -0700

Wow, Lipstick Jungle gets intense this week. There's another death — our second in three episodes! — and a hearty dose of workplace drama. Even Victory's storylines, which are usually the comic relief, get heavy. There's a lot going on, and a lot set up for the future, so to talk about it, just

Lipstick Jungle Rundown: Episode 7, "Carpe Threesome"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:32:07 -0700

Threesome? Yup. Lipstick Jungle reached the end of its first mini-season last night with an episode focused on threesomes — only one of which was the literal sort. I'm glad we'll get a few more episodes in the Fall, because while I liked this episode (and it clearly could have served as a series finale if necessary), I wish it would have focused more on the show's central threesome: Wendy, Nico, and Victory. That said, it did help bring our girls back together after last week's Nico vs. Wendy dustup, so to read my thoughts and share yours, just

Lipstick Jungle Rundown: Episode 4, "Bombay Highway"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 12:33:57 -0800

NBC gave Lipstick Jungle an additional six episodes this week, and this episode actually made me glad for it. Despite myself, I'm starting to get into Wendy and Nico's stories, even though some parts still grate on me (my pet frustration this week: virtually everything related to Wendy's career). Even Victory had her moments.

Mostly, I appreciated the way the women's three stories tied into each other this week. (Not to keep harping on poor Cashmere Mafia, but that's something that show never quite got down.) Nico confiding her affair set into motion several other threads for the rest of the characters: Wendy's concern about keeping her own marriage alive, Wendy and Nico's belief that Victory can't understand their lives because she's not married, and Wendy's frustrations with Nico spilling into a conflict with Victory. I think that's how real friends act, and it should be the core of the show. To read more of my take on the episode, just

Recast Pretty in Pink

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I'll ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. This week, I thought I'd take a break from all the cinema classics and beloved sitcoms we've been recasting lately and go back to the '80s with that irresistible rich/poor teen dramedy, Pretty in Pink.
