Kotb began extensive research on sexuality, realizing that "I was in total dimness." In the course of her French education and in her relatively liberal household, the topic of sexuality had simply been taboo...

...everyone is going to identify with people whose biggest problem is being oppressed by the household help. Cashmere's ratings have been weak--although that may have more to do with its cardboard characters and predictable, Soap 101 story lines than its milieu. Like too many SATC clones, it's glib but not insightful, and its characters seem like a random quartet of women with no real chemistry as friends...
