LIPSTICK JUNGLE

If you thought nothing could beat the HBO classic "Sex and the City", you're wrong. LIPSTICK JUNGLE comes very close, and Cynthia Nixon, the TV show's fiery-red-haired lawyer, Miranda, makes it happen. With the same scintillating enthusiasm, Nixon lays bare the secret desires, work-your-butt-off attitude, and no-holds-barred ethics that lead this 40-something trio--fashion designer, publisher, and movie industry president--to overtake the men in the business jungle of New York City. With laughter tickling her voice, she also dances through some ribald sexual encounters. She pulls it all together in a stand-up-and-cheer climax, a toast to friendship in the lipstick jungle. M.T.B.
