8 Ultimate Mad Men Gifting Moments (Part 1)

The holidays are the time for awkward gift-giving and meaningless spending, really, the themes at the heart of Mad Men. Although you may hate commercialism and Christmas, with Mad Men, you can always enjoy a good gift given with the spirit of foreshadowing and nihilism. Nothing appears in Mad Men without purpose. Every article of […]

DIY Christmas Gift for a Mad Men Fan

With all of the wondrous day and night drinking around the holidays, you find yourself becoming closer and closer to a Maddict (is that what we’re called? is that what I’m called? do I have a problem with making combo words?). If you’re not, then at the very least, you know a loyal Mad Men […]

Another Brick in the Wall: NDSG Styleboard

Do you want to look like you’re in a Burberry advertisement? Do you want to feel like you’re in a Burberry advertisement? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you: my non-denominational school girl (NDSG) styleboard. Today I decided to dress like a non-denominational private school student. Why “non-denominational”? Because I think it takes away […]

Fall Fashion Preview: Sherlock Meets Mad Men

You would think that Mad Men and Sherlock Holmes have nothing to do with each other. Well, they do. [have nothing to do with each other, for those who don’t follow double-negatives] Excepting that they are both period-based media expressions, Mad Men and Sherlock Holmes seem to have no overlapping features (other than the “intelligent, rogueish […]

Sequins and Heavy Metal: Sally Draper’s Teen Angst

If it wasn’t obvious to you before Season 5, Sally Draper is one of the best characters (and one of my personal favorites) on Mad Men. Famous for her immature maturity, Sally has long been a character on the rise. Although you don’t get many moments alone with her in the earlier seasons, it’s obvious […]

Colorblocking: Mod Megan Draper and Beyond

Summer is here (almost)! Despite the fact that the weather has been flauntingly unsummerlike, I have been preparing myself by purchasing light, airy outfits that maintain some semblance of style (whilst my hair frizzes and the sweatglands go into overdrive. TMI, I know). I have also been preparing myself for the Mad Men season finale, […]

Hiatus – Temporarily

Sorry for the lack of posts! I have been watching Mad Men Season 5 and I have so many comments to rave about!! Until I am done with finals, though, I am a lowly grad student struggling to keep up and won’t have time to meticulously look at the show. Speaking of lowly grad students, […]

Kiss, Kiss: Megan Draper and the Little Black Dress

Mad Men Season 5 is back! If you don’t know this already, you’re either dead, under a rock, or both! While I have so many more thoughts on the premiere than I have time for, I absolutely loved the spectacle that was Don’s party and birthday gift. This, of course, leads me to discuss Megan […]

Tied for Roger’s Heart: Jane Siegel and the Bow

It’s hard to say who likes Jane Siegel (I do). She’s young, precocious and obviously takes Joan’s place as a younger, more modern version of Red (“I hear the 61’s are coming out this year… they’ve got bigger fins“- Joan Holloway, random affair scene with Roger). But it’s easy to say: the girl’s got style.
