Lipstick Jungle (novel)
Lipstick Jungle is a novel written by New York writer and socialite Candace Bushnell, that weaves the stories of Nico Reilly, Wendy Healy, and Victory Ford, who are numbers 8, 12, and 17 on the New York Post's list of New York's 50 Most Powerful Women. The premise appears to tread similar ground to Bushnell's famed Sex and the City, following the lives of three New York career women; however, in this book the women are a little older, richer, and more powerful.[1][2][3][4]

gollark: I don't think *individual* microorganisms store that much DNA (in bytes) so you would have to split it across many of them like some sort of vaguely insane RAID array.
gollark: You would also have to *catch* enough copies afterward.
