Candace Bushnell’s Recession

By Jason Boog 

It’s been a rough year for the glamorous world Candace Bushnell explored in Sex and the City: the stock market crashed, layoffs rocked New York City media world, and the recession crippled the luxury business.

Nevertheless, Bushnell has returned with a new kind of story, a web series promoting a different world–successful, mature women living in a recessionary New York City with laid-off husbands. She wrote ‘The Broadroom‘ for More magazine, and the show debut online this week. GalleyCat visited the glamorous release party in this video, mingling with the show’s stars and getting an introduction to the show from Bushnell herself.

Here’s more about the show from the site: “The four-part series features an accomplished ensemble cast of women including Jennie Garth, Jennifer Esposito, Talia Balsam, Mary McCann and newcomer Lauren Devereux. The webisodes take a humorous look at women in the workplace, addressing everything from breast feeding to rocky relationships to tyrannous male bosses.”
