Sad news for Cashmere Mafia fans…the show has been cancelled. It showed a strong following at first, with 10.7 million viewers watching its pilot episode, but it dwindled down to 4.7 million viewers for its finale. Lipstick Jungle had more consistent ratings through its season, and 6.7 million viewers tuned in to its finale.
So, why did Lipstick Jungle survive? Personally, I think it had a better script, letting the drama build through the season instead of hitting viewers with it in the first two episodes a la Cashmere. But, the fashion was better on Cashmere, even when they put a belt or two on every character. Maybe it was cancelled due to belt overload – I know I found it annoying.
