10 Things I Learned From the “Cashmere Mafia” Pilot

By Dane • Jan 11th, 2008 • Category: 2 Column LEFT, ABC, Cashmere Mafia, Drama

So, I finally got around to watching the premiere of Cashmere Mafia last night, and it was… um, enlightening. Here are some of the things that I learned.

1. In New York, everyone is incredibly attractive.

2. Skinny women are bitchy, and I blame it on the fact that they haven’t eaten since Junior High.

3. Tom Everett Scott is the Tom Skerritt of our generation.

4. High powered professional women divide their time evenly between home, luncheons, and martini bars… they never actually make it into the office.

5. I don’t own enough “Evening Attire”.

6. Every woman alive has an insatiable sex drive, and by insatiable, I mean at inappropriate times and in inappropriate places.

7. Lucy Liu has no soul, and her eyes can eat asteroids.

8. Sometimes people are born with BlackBerry’s where their hands should be, and it makes me very sad.

9. A lisp is the must-have accessory of the season.

10. I hate Cashmere Mafia
