The "Cashmere Mafia" has finally aired on ABC tonight and although I missed the first part , what I saw was enough to make my early verdict.

Please excuse my high expectations from the show caused by the long break from girls-only series on TV, but Cashmere Mafia perfectly defines the miserable 40 something successful female New Yorker and everything that' s wrong about her. Too much work, too little personal life. There is nothing that makes me more sad than successful, fashionable but miserable women. Cheating husbands, post-promotion breakups, pretentious award shows and all-girls pre-fix lunches in midtown restaurants make me sad. The last line of the pilot "it' s gonna be so much fun" couldn't sound more depressing ...

Now thanks to the Cashmere Mafia I' m too scared this city is gonna turn me into one of these women, and it seems like they will remind me that every Sunday at 10pm.

I really wish the media, especially these series which purpose is pure entertainment, was presenting a little more appealing picture of our reality. Believe or not - not all successful women have cheating husbands, and not all men have issues dating successful women. Sex & The City dealt with similar issues, but there was always humor, hope and a "feel good" mood in the air. How often did you find yourself wanting to be Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda? And now: do you want to be one of the Cashmere Mafia gals? Hmm... NO thanks!

Call me old fashioned, but I' m back to my SATS re-runs on TBS...
