Lipstick Jungle, based on a novel of 2005 by Candace Bushnell, draws comparison with the ‘Sex and the City’ which is another show depicting powerful and successful businesswomen of New York. The story of Lipstick Jungle revolves around Wendy Healy (played by Brooke Shields), Nico Reilly (played by Kim Raver) and Victory Ford (played by Lindsay Price), the three friends and successful at their work.
The Wall Street magazine has included them in its list of top 50 powerful women, but recently Victory has fallen in her work due to a disaster at the Fashion Week of New York. Soon, she meets Joe Bennett (played by Andrew McCarthy), a wealthy businessman, giving way to a relationship during her attempts to reinvent her creativity. In the mean while, Wendy has to balance her work with her domestic life, raising 2 children and her husband Shane (played by Paul Blackthorne). Nico gets married to Charles (Christopher Cousins), a professor, whose relationship soon looses its passion.
Without setting up a drama, during the first episode itself Nico strikes an affair with Kirby Atwood, a young photo assistant, Victory fires off her employees and moves her office to her home and Wendy fends off the tell-all book on her. The show is an attempt to balance the struggles of women with friendship, love and work through sometimes comedy and sometimes drama giving entertainment as a result. The seven episodes of Lipstick Jungle:
1. Pilot
2. Nothing Sacred
3. Pink Poison
4. Bombay Highway
5. Dressed to Kill
6. Take the High Road
7. Carpe Threesome
The seven episodes are available on two discs in 1.78:1 transfer improved for wider screens. With soft presentation and subdued colors, it is a fine presentation overall. The sound surround track is 5.1 and dialogues are never problematic as a solid work is done by the track throughout. In addition to the trailers, there is a collection of deleted scenes that were enjoyable too.
