Lipstick Jungle: 2 For 1 Week
Last week we got two episodes of “Jungle” as the show made it’s move to Friday nights. Both shows were fairly good as well.
Wendy continued to deal with the loss of her job, and got dealt more blows. She was hoping to finally start a company of her own with Sal, which they always discussed doing, until Sal was given her own job. He turned on her and fairly quick.
Later though helping Victory out of a jam with her fashion show, she ran into the piercing girl at the copy shop. She let her still believe she’s still a big shot, and agreed to read the girls script in exchange for her helping her with some fliers. Wendy was stunned to find out she loved the script and decided it had to be made into a movie. She was going to finally form her own company to see it done. I’m just getting a bad feeling that Sal is going to swoop in and try and steal this from her.
Niko ran into Charles’ Baby Mama with her baby and went soft, sending gifts and oddly becoming attached. She soon began to realize perhaps she wanted a baby. It was something she wrote off years ago, now she was rethinking it. Oh brother! It’s too early to introduce a new baby, that’s usually the death knell of a show.
Nico also had some issues with Kirby over finances. She was paying for everything, while he was struggling to pay the rent. Money became an issue and the girls convinced Nico to let Kirby pay for things if it basically let him feel like a man and more secure. She did, at the expense of food! At the end of one of the shows he had to send back most of the Chinese food they ordered as he didn’t have enough. Okay I think Nico needed to step in and just demand to let her take care of that. That was Chinese food abuse right there.
Victory had a nightmare that Joe fell off a mountain, and was stunned to learn the next day he was planning to go mountain climbing. He was going to do Everest or something nuts. In the end, he even agreed it was very weird and didn’t go. The two seemed to make progress at at least being friends.
However in the next episode, Joe was clearly having revelations about his life. He finally decided to propose to Victory, and Nico and Wendy somewhat gave him a little push saying she was not with Rodrigo anymore.
Victory meanwhile fired her publicist Dahlia, who turned on her and set out to destroy her upcoming fashion show. She relied on her friends to help her pull it off, which included Rodrigo to build the stage. As she gave a thank you speech, she singled him out as a great guy. This sent Joe, who was ready with a ring, running! Nico and Wendy were stunned, they didn’t know if they should tell Victory or not. Then of course the sad part was, Victory and Rodrigo still agreed they wouldn’t work out in the end. I haven’t been loving Joe that much lately, but even I can see how bittersweet this whole thing was. However they can’t have them get married so quick. I mean it took Carrie what, 10 years to get Big 🙂
I missed last Wednesday’s episode and I haven’t watched Friday’s yet but it doesn’t sound like much is happening. I am looking forward to Wendy starting her own business – I think that will be fairly interesting!

I watched both eps and the part not mentioned here was the left-at-home-alone Wendy. Her husband went on a “business trip” and she was left home alone. She met up with another at-home dad who’s pals with her husband. Other dad admits he has marriage problems and assumes Wendy is in the same boat. Here’s the part that was a little odd: in one day he went home and, based on something Wendy said, he dumped the wife — then comes over and smooches on Wendy. I think the show needed some tension, but this came off so strangely…
Anyway, next ep, the whole family’s back together again and it’s like nothing ever happened.
I’m betting new mommy gets overloaded and drops that kid on Nico. She was showing all the symptoms and look what’s happened to her — she had some nice place paid for by Charles and now she’s living in a shared apt with a roommate who doesn’t seem to like her very much.
This week’s ep should be interesting with Kirby’s mom. How oddly similar she is to Nico… ew!

I forgot all about that storyline lol. Thanks. Yeah I didn’t understand where it came from, it was just kinds thrown in there. I found it a bit odd.
I thought something like that might happen with the baby too. The mom seemed very unhappy for sure. Post-pardum though? I also thought he might not even turn out to be Charles’

I think Nico is going to be freaked out by the resemblance between her & Kirby’s mom….also the clips made it seem that Kirby’s mom was well off. Does that mean Kirby’s family has money, but he’s one of those kids that wants to make it on his own? And I have a strange feeling that Nico is going to end up with her boss ( the guy from Vegas)

I also think Nico and her boss have some interesting chemistry. I like Kirby but I am hoping they mix it up a bit. I also wonder what will happen with her and the baby!

Her boss clearly likes her, even if she doesn’t like him.
