Can they be beat?

Since Sex and the City first came on the scene there has never been another show like it. The world tuned in religiously to watch the ever dramatic lives of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. I have always been an avid fan, I have every last episode on DVD and start them over every year and watch bit by bit. They epitomize what life as a woman can be like. You do not need to be just like Carrie or just like Charlotte. I think of it like I am a little bit of each of them, they each represent a strength that all woman can and should possess. 2008 has presented us with not one but TWO programs that have a very strong resemblance to Sex and the City...one of which is based on stories by the very same author. First on the scene:

Cashmere Mafia

I have watched Cashmere Mafia...I like it. It is no Sex and the City but it is good. The women are more accomplished, career driven, swanky. But does it have staying power? Can Lucy Lui lead these 3 unknowns into TV success, only time will tell. Second on the scene:

Lipstick Jungle



Tonight is the big premier...will Lipstick Jungle be able to overshadow Cashmere Mafia which came on the scene first...I think it might! Same writer as Sex and the City, two television stars that have been a part of successful TV programs before. I just love that Lindsay Price will be joining this cast, I have missed her since her days as Steve Saunders leading lady near the death of 90210. I will be DVRing LJ and watching it Saturday morning with my coffee. If there is anything good to report I will let you know!
