Real Life vs Mad Men

I'm going to concur with Tomasso's visual here.

Honey Bee, madonna cones, priceless.

 

[AmateisGal]

I love that Christina is a full-figured gal and not a skinny minny. She looks absolutely smashing. Show off those curves, girl!

I'm slowly but surely finding myself on Team Peggy...

 

[PADDY]

Just saw it.

Don't think Don lost it in the boardroom, just was 'high' on his win and Scotch.

His blackouts? hey, Scotch and Adrenalin... it happens [huh]

Peggy? that girl thinks outside the box, and that's what will make her a winner.

Pete? immature, boyish, loser.

Lots to smile about on this one :eusa_clap

One of the better episodes...so far!

A short but remarkably observant article about the show:

I found the link at Basket of Kisses, an outstanding Mad Men resource that features great commentary of their own, plus links to the endless MM recaps, reviews, and articles proliferating the Web these days:

Doc, thanks for posting that link, I've spent the afternoon reading the articles while at work.

Whoever the writer, their articles on the color of the charcter's clothes is so spot on, you wonder if the costumer and the producer do that on purpose... I think so.

 

[Tiller]

Roger: "Jesus, will you leave me alone?"
Don: "You told me to come in."
Roger: "The hell I did."
Don: "You hired me."
Roger: "What? When?"

Yeah, that was fun to watch. It's intersting to see that Don may not have actually been hired, but made a palce for himself by takening advantage of Roger. The final sceen with Roger in the elevator with a "did I really" look, and then Don with that confident "I just put one over on you" smirk lol.

 

[Mr Vim]

I saw that scene as Dick Whitman fully creating the personality of Don, not when he was talking but the way he stepped into the elevator, that privelage he had, and then he grins and you see Whitman again, it has to be my favorite episode of this season thus far.

Don's Secretary

USAToday did a little interview with Don's latest 'girl' from th secretarial pool.

Yes!

Good to see him, Roger (with slightly darker hair) and Joan in '50s mode. The early '60s fitted Joan like, well, one of her dresses but she was beautiful then too.

But Heller hadn't watched Mad Men before auditioning a month before taping on the fourth season began. "I didn't know anything. I was just doing what was on the page, an older secretary with a strong New York accent."

I find this very , very, very, etc...... hard to believe.

I hope that the popularity of this show will affect how contemporary culture views curvy women (read: normal women). Seen enough skinny minnies to last me the rest of my life.

I'd bet on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.....

 

[Wire9Vintage]

Anyone else knocked out by last night's episode? I thought it was the best of the whole series. So is Peggy Don's new Anna? Stands to reason.

Just wow on this ep...

OK, I'll qualify that.

Naturally curvy women. Non-silicone enhanced.

 

[Doctor Strange]

I was knocked out too - and ferklempt. Another outstanding episode, finally focusing on the show's most interesting relationship. Great writing, and powerful, moving performances by Moss and Hamm.

Mad Men just keeps getting better!

[Tony in Tarzana]

Only one thing worries me. If Don ever quits drinking, will he ever have a heart-to-heart conversation with anybody again?

Was great. I think she will replace Anna as his 'female' bestie and seeing ghost of Anna was like she was giving Peggy permission to 'to an eye on him'. He and Peggy are both loners and understand one another.

It really was just the perfect episode. This will get an Emmy.
