SJP would be sorry

The critics have been far from impressed with "Cashmere Mafia," the latest show from Darren Star, "Sex and the City" producer, and SATC stylist Patricia Field. They're not wrong, It's a far cry from SATC, not least because of the lame name of the show. It's about four friends in New York City who are stylish, self-absorbed, stuck-up and super rich. The problem is that, for the most part, the characters aren't believable and the ones that are aren't very likable. On the face of it the writers would like to believe it's about female empowerment, but you don't have to be a bitch to have a successful career or to get what you want. A lesson the SATC characters learned again and again.
