What’s not to like? Cashmere Mafia is Sex and the City meets Desperate Housewives— and it came in the best timing too. There’s still seems to be a big ‘dramedy’ void to fill since the ending of Sex and the City, and Desperate Housewives— well, it’s just getting a little dull.

Like Sex, Cashmere follows four very successful and ambitious friends in New York City. The four women, each interestingly with a different hair colour (almost like a L’Oreal hair dye commercial), run around with their crazily busy jobs, clicking away at their blackberries, balance their personal lives, while at the same time being able to sit down and have lunch or sip martinis with each other regularly.

While the writing is definitely not as clever as Sex, I find these characters to be refreshing— particularly Lucy Liu, who looks absolutely stunning on each show. Her clothes seriously look like as if she was walking down the runway.

The women are not the only gorgeous people, so are the men! While the men, like Sex, don’t have significant roles, I can’t help but admire their fabulous looking suits! Not to mention that the guys are just gorgeous.

Yep, now reviewing my review of the show made me realize that the show is based on hot characters and hot clothes. How completely queer of me. Anyways, it’s hard to say if the show’s going to stick around, because I think it will take more than some fashion hotties to keep this show afloat.

Carrie Bradshaw, for example, had a whole lot of good clever quotes! I don’t know if Cashmere has the same quality of writing, but there are a few lines here and there.

Denise, who has also been catching the show, was interested in a short monologue made by Lucy Liu’s character.

It’s a high time to accept the fact that a woman won’t just be your co-worker, she could be your boss. And you’re going to have to be prepared to deal, to be a man about it in the true sense of the word. sure, more working women means more competition, but instead of being threatened by it, be challenged by it— let’s bring the best of each other. Win or lose, if you’re a good sport, everybody wins.

But sure how this show will go, but I’m definitely going to keep watching.
