The phrase has a bit of a history in American literary culture over the past 40+ years.
It was first introduced in a 1970 issue of New York magazine to describe well-off, fashionably dressed women who meet for social luncheons during the work week, since they are married to rich men and don't work. The lunch is in either a classy expensive restaurant, or a high-end department store during a shopping trip.
The phrase was the title of a song in Stephen Sondheim's 1970 musical "Company", sung by a cynical woman who ultimately discovers she's one of them. It was famously sung by Elaine Stritch. It has been revived a number of times and I saw a production on PBS in 2008. Sondheim is truly an amazing composer and lyricist. I suspect more people are familiar with his 1979 musical thriller, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", which was made into a movie with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter in 2007. He also wrote the lyrics for the musical tragedy "West Side Story" back in his early days.
"Ladies who Lunch" has also been used as the title of a sketch on the Season 36 premiere of Saturday Night Live - i remember this one, as the ladies in question have a competition involving wearing tiny little hats. It was also the title of a 2005 episode the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. I didn't watch this series, but apparently episodes were typically named after songs by Stephen Sondheim.
The phrase has a pejorative meaning, as the women it describes are shallow, primarily interested in shopping and being fashionable. I suppose in the MAC lipstick context, though, it is meant to refer to a life of luxury and high fashion.

Thanks. I think they look nice. I'm still interested in getting one or two, depending on how the formula feels.

Yeah, so unless the formula is to die for, I'm likely not to buy it. Still, looking at the one model wearing Posh Tone during NYFW 2013... it looks lovely on her. :/

And then there's my favorite Sondheim show, Into the Woods!! I knew "Ladies Who Lunch" was familiar to me for some reason, but I haven't listened to the Company soundtrack in years, so it totally slipped my mind. Thanks for placing it for us!

quote name="SydVicious" url="/t/182261/mac-mineralize-rich-lipstick-collection-march-2013/300#post_2349253"] It is such a cute name!! I love the color, I hope it turns out to be a nice shade. I also like Elegant Accent. I think the model needs to do a lip exfoliation .. I'll wait to see how they look on Christine on Temptalia. [/quote] elegant accent for me too! You never know with these swatches. Temptalia definitely has the best. Since there are perm we cam definite wait a while.

I was surprised to see these in store when I went for a tech class recently in Australia and purchased a Grande Dame
I was able to get some swatches when I was in store, I was actually impressed with this product and how it felt on the lips. Not drying at all and nice and creamy on the lips. I dont normally go for this kind of product but I am glad that I picked up at least one lipstick to wear and review.

Thanks to princess sarah's swatches, I'm becoming convinced it will be more difficult than I thought to narrow it down to just ONE of these lippies to get! I'll definitely have to do some serious comparisons to other colors I already have before making a final decision.
