I have just started watching Mad Men. I know, I know! Everyone’s been telling me for years how awesome it is, how much I will love the style and fashion… so I’ve finally gotten around to it on the ‘backlog of tv show’ roster.
Actually, saying ‘I like’ this show is kinda a misnomer. I actually had to stop watching after seeing the first 10 episodes in one weekend. Why? Because, honestly, by that point all I wanted to do was punch Don in the face, so I figured a little time-out was in order.
But, it is fascinating, isn’t it? Even though pretty much all the characters are kinda unlikable? Intriguing, but all have their failings, that’s for sure. It certainly makes me VERY grateful I was born to my generation, and not my grandmother’s.
I am totally sucked into their lives and worlds, and dying to know what happens!
And oh yes, the dresses…. the cars… the suits… the decor – LOVE!
P.S. I haven’t yet finished the first season – no spoilers, pretty please!

The dresses oh… yes!
And Don *sigh* it is a constant love/hate relationship with that man!
Hey Jess, I know how you feel!!!!! I started watching season 1 last Friday (for dressmaking research) and i’m up to season 2 now, and Don really pissed me off!!! I tweeted many times about him while watching Mad Men lol. It makes me feel so sad when he cheats on Betty, and she is such a good wifey!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR. I have to laugh at how domestic the housewives are, in their aprons, dinner ready on the table when hubby walks in the door. I really love their clothes. and man do they smoke alot!!!!!
