Lunching with Candace Bushnell

Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell

Such a delight recently attending the Four Seasons Hotel in LA for a Kip Morrison-sponsored event!

 

On the topic of “Next-Generation Women: Sex, Success, and Sensibility,” bestselling author Candace Bushnell (Sex and the City) shared witty girlfriend thoughts revolved around her creation of one of the most revolutionizing comedic-dramas on television, and the road to turning into “Mr. Big” herself!

Candace Bushnell also talked up her Sirius radio talk show, her new novel, Lipstick Jungle (and ahem, some insider info: you can look for this series to hit television soon!), and how she was first introduced to Botox ® Cosmetic. Apparently, covering an article on this facial injectable more than 10 years ago for Vogue prompted her to experiment with an, at the time, new way to achieve a youthful facial appearance! (Dr. Jacqueline Calkin followed Candace Bushnell’s discussion with new info on Radiesse ® … I will bring you more on this new facial filler soon!)

Looking forward to a new novel from one of the most delightfully-inspiring authors today? I am! However, I’m not sure if a new series could ever take my heart away from the fabulously nutty qualms involved with Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte…

P.S. Look for paperback early August :) I scored an autographed copy in my gift bag from the luncheon!

    Can you believe there is going to be a show about the gals? I’m so excited…but skeptical. I wonder if it will just be a replacement of Sex and the City…Now I’m catching up with some of Bushnell’s characters from reading her previous book, “Trading Up.” I’m learning a lot about Seldon!

    I have read this book and watched the first installment of the TV series last night. Watching the story lines of the girls made sense because I had already read the novel. It’s really nothing like Sex in The City. I personally enjoyed it.
