Lipstick Jungle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lipstick Jungle is a novel written by New York writer and socialite Candace Bushnell, that weaves the stories of Nico O'Neilly, Wendy Healy, and Victory Ford, who are numbers 8, 12, and 17 on The New York Post's list of New York's 50 Most Powerful Women.
The premise appears to tread similar ground to Bushnell's famed Sex and the City, following the lives of three New York career women; a fashion designer called Victory Ford, magazine editor Nico O'Neilly, and Parador Pictures president Wendy Healy; however in this book the women are a little older, richer, and more powerful.
A TV series pilot, based on the book, is currently in production, starring Brooke Shields as Wendy Healy, Lindsay Price as Victory Ford and Kim Raver as Nico O'Neilly. The US television series is being filmed for the NBC network.
