Mad Men Swank

second class citizen · 08-09-2009, 05:13 PM

We've been watching the first season of Mad Men. Incredibly good! Great acting, great story, and love the art direction! Of course it's set in the early 60s, right before Kennedy was elected.

Don Draper is the lead character and this weekend when we were out strolling down 2nd Street after a nice dinner at Domenico's, we spied a store window display (I think it was Banana Republic) featuring the "Don Draper Suit". How swank!

Nanner Public has a whole Mad Men line. Being a TV idiot, it took me a while to figure out what that meant.

I bought a grey sheath dress from the collection.

Lisa, I think you'd like Mad Men. (And 30 Rock, but the Liz Lemon swank is for another thread.)

I think Lisa would like Mad Men too. It's tres cool.

Bizarre, I just this second turned on the tube for the first time not for True Blood, cause someone told me the 3rd Season of Mad Men starts tonight on AMC - - and then saw this thread!

Anyone know if that's true? What day(s) it's on and what time(s)?

The first season was Magnificent Genius that affected me deeply.

The second season, not so much.

But on the strength of the first season, I'm willing to give the third a chance.

If I can find it.

Here's a great compilation video.

And I can't get enough of the title sequence.

I had a similar coincidental happenstance when I first got into the show.

In fact, the very first day I started watching it, I viewed like 6 episodes in a row and I was way hooked. At a dinner party that night, the person I was chatting with across from me revealed a celebrity run-in she'd had that morning with Jon Hamm, the lead actor who plays Don Draper.

If the conversation had happened the day before, I wouldn't have had a clue who's name she dropped, but instead I was fascinated with the seemingly less-than-random celebrity encounter.

Odd.
