Jewish World Review Oct. 17, 2005 / 14 Tishrei, 5766 Success and the city is just a bling thing By Karen Heller http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | When you got past the shoes, pithy bon mots and annoying voice-overs, ``Sex and the City'' was the saddest of sitcoms. The quartet of beauties swore allegiance to friends and Manhattan, all the while pining for some swains to save them. Though it was kind of reassuring to know that being a size 2 isn't everything. Candace Bushnell, who created this fashionable orbit, has now written ``Lipstick Jungle,'' a novel about a powerful trio of fortysomethings intent on ruling the world, or at least its most expensive corners. Magazine editor Nico O'Neilly, film executive Wendy Healy and fashion designer Victory Ford — names aren't Bushnell's strong suit — think it's high time women started making millions instead of marrying them, which is what passes for post-feminism feminism. BUY THE BOOK Does this book sound intriguing? Click HERE to purchase it at a discount. (Sales help fund JWR.). As the supremely photogenic Bushnell tells Harper's Bazaar: "Ten years ago, people really thought that women over 35 were not sexy. Today it's sooo not true. I see so many women like myself in New York today who are successful and in their 40s. They might be married or they might be single or they might have kids or they might not. But they're happy!" Well, that's a relief. Then again, 10 years ago, Bushnell wasn't in her 40s. "It was like time began to reverse, and somehow they managed to look better and younger-looking than they had in their thirties," Bushnell, now 46, writes. "Success and self-actualization was what really made women glow — they shone with the fullness of life." Now we know: The key to aging well is hedge funds. In ``Lipstick Jungle,'' the most doleful volume to tumble from chick lit's pink shelf since Jacqueline Susann, men come and go, or they stay around but generate little heat. The key to happiness is retail therapy and therapy therapy and lots of private jets and vacation spreads and black American Express Cards. In ``Lipstick's'' cosmos, more Dom than cosmopolitan, the rule is that when anything bad happens, first, you decorate. Money is everything. These women want millions and, it will come as no surprise, end up making them, though at the expense of romantic love, nurturing partners, even children. Wendy, never a caring parent, loses her three in a custody battle, yet becomes pregnant by another questionable, though richer, man. This is what passes as a happy ending. It's all about the Benjamins. With thousands of them, the friends move past Blahniks, Bushnell's previous promised land, on to self-actualized bling. The best things in life aren't free, Bushnell believes, but cruelly expensive. What she's written here is ``Valley of the Dollars.''
