NY Social Diary: First Stop Valentino, Second Stop Cipriani

The end of HBO’s Sex and the City left prime time network television with some awfully big, um, shoes to fill. On NBC’s Lipstick Jungle, Lindsay Price plays fashion designer, Victory Ford. The show is based on the successful novel of the same name by Candace Bushnell (author of Sex and the City too), and the character of Victory is apparently based on the life of New York designer, Cynthia Rowley.

What to say about these Valentino-wearing power babes duking it out in the big city? Lipstick Jungle is to Sex and the City what The Artist Formerly Known as Prince was to the original Prince – a brand extension best forgotten. Why mess with what works? Whereas SATCS minted a genuine, innovative modern heroine – the sexually explicit but still romantic good girl – LJ is content to play dress-up with a gaggle of whiny “have-it-all-but-want-more” paper dolls.
