Lipstick Jungle - it's Spinal Tap for feminists.

Damn those superwomen! There's a kind of dirty pleasure, a schadenfreude or frisson in this show, it's feminism as commodity fetishism.

Literally. It's not about making women powerful. It's about making powerful women sexy. Which as we all know becomes a contradiction in terms unless we're getting a bit bdsm here.

Feminism is dead but someone's tanned its hide and the heels are to die for! These boots are made for walking kind of hell on wheels happening here. It's murderballicious, babe.

If you must, then you must read the recaps. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/lipstick_jungle/pilot_45.php
