As we gear up for the fourth season premiere of Mad Men, I thought I'd take a look back at my favorite sets from the last season. From the Sterling Cooper office to the Drapers' home, there's lots of midcentury goodness to ogle. Take a look and tell me which is your fave! Photos courtesy of AMC Read more
At long last, fellow Mad Men fanatics, the third season is about to begin. I'm so excited for tonight I practically have butterflies. So much happened last season — and especially in the final episode (babies! confessions! merger!) — I feel like I need to take deep breath and steady myself before diving into another one. This is not exactly light television, which is why Mad Men is one Read more
Mad Men will be getting a third season on AMC — though creator Matthew Weiner is still in negotiations to determine whether he'll return — and that means we'll be watching another year in the life of Sterling Cooper. Back at the TCA press tour, Weiner suggested he has a five-year plan for the series that would end in 1968, so presumably a third season could mean another time jump (though Read more
This week on Mad Men, we get a visit from Paul Kinsey, who has gone from progressive, pipe-smoking copy editor to confused Hare Krishna devotee. The Hare Krishna movement was founded in NYC in 1966, the year that's coming to a close on this season, and attracted beatniks like Allen Ginsberg and Beatle George Harrison, one of its most famous followers. The International Society for Krishna Read more
Megan Draper sets out for a new life this week on Mad Men, as she quits her job at Sterling Cooper Draper Price to resurrect her acting career. As the title of the episode, "Lady Lazarus," suggests, our friends on Mad Men are adapting to new lives. Don lets Megan pursue her acting dream, but he's lost at work without her. Pete has morphed into the sad Don of the past, cheating on his wife and Read more
Fall may seem like a far-off cry from the season in bloom, but we couldn't help but take a peek (and lust over) Nicole Richie's latest Winter Kate and House of Harlow autumnal wares. With Richie's signature brand of bohemian-luxe style ever present, we were delighted to note an edgier (read: rich jewel tones, plush velvet textures, and slick lasercut details) vibe in place. The collection is Read more
We're all well-versed in '90s board games for girls, but did you know there was popular '60s board game that inspired the title of last night's Mad Men episode (and had a cameo in a commercial on the show)? "Mystery Date" is a board game for girls ages 6 to 14, and there have been several newer versions since the first one came out in 1965 — the year before this season of Mad Men is set. The Read more
It was a big week for pop culture and from the looks of the comments, there was a lot to discuss. The season five premiere of Mad Men got everyone "Zou Bisou Bisou"-ing, Klaus's reemergence on The Vampire Diaries was exciting to fans, and the news that Chloe Moretz snagged the titular role in the remake of Carrie got everyone weighing in. See what you had to say below! The casting for the new Read more
Mad Men's Jessica Paré (as Megan Draper) has set the Internet abuzz with her sultry, sassy rendition of "Zou Bisou Bisou," a French pop tune made popular by Sophia Loren and singer/actress Gillian Hills. The '60s-era single can even be purchased on iTunes, helping to make the Canadian actress an overnight sensation. With a record-breaking 3.5 million viewers tuning in to the series's Read more
Thank goodness Mad Men is back on the air; any longer, and I might have taken up a three-martini lunch habit. The series aired its season five premiere last night, and I was giddy at the return of retro style and classic cocktails. Even as it evolves, the 1960s-set show always shines a compelling lens on American cocktail culture. Celebrate the return of this tribute to classic libations by Read more
