Mad Men

My husband and I finally finished watching Season 3 of Mad Men, the highly-acclaimed and award winning AMC show about advertising in the 1960's. I love the visual style of Mad Men (there is nothing like it on TV), from the costumes, to the sets, and of course all the throwbacks to 1960's mentality where business was conducted over cocktails, women washed dishes in dresses and pearls, and men still got away with sexual harassment in the workplace. (Not that I'm condoning any of those things mind you, but as someone from a completely different generation, it is a rare and interesting glimpse into another world). From the intricate office maneuvering at Sterling Cooper, to the drama of the Draper family, Mad Men has quickly become one of my favorite shows on television. Season 4 doesn't start until June, so until then might I suggest a re-run trip down Madison Avenue, New York to find out what you are missing?

Bah! Megan you are too funny! One question, is that a bullet necklace your avatar is wearing? -Suzanne

Susie - It's a gold pen. If you watched the show you would know that! ;)

Back in the days when women had curves and hips! I like it..

I would probably like this.. I'll have to talk with you more about it.

I watched Marie Antoinette last night. Oh my eye candy. Ya.. I have had your DVD for maybe a year?

We'll have to do a DI and lunch outing in a few weeks and I will return it. Oh how I loved it's pretties! ~ And the pastries... =LOVE!

So who am I supposed to be at Sterling Cooper? I had better be someone like Pryce who has clout rather than his prissy administrative assistant.

Mike: I was thinking along the lines of Ken Cosgrove. :)

Oh, good! I thought if you were wearing a bullet necklace, we would have to stop being friends! I'm just kidding! haha! -Suzanne

Hi Megan. I thought I would tell you about my blog since I know you are into blogging. Here's the address in case you want to check it out. It's a little risque for the normal "Mo" but I know you have a good sense of humor. http://theheshcurtis.blogspot.com/
