Mad Men

I cannot explain my new found fascination with AMC's TV drama Mad Men (perhaps because it is sponsored by BMW and features an iconic, pre-show clip of a Pretty in Pink scene...?).

The award-winning show, now a year old (I'm a little late to the party), revolves around the lives and loves of ad men in 1960's New York City. On the one hand it is chauvinistic, at times pointless and rambling, and often offensive. On the other hand, it is full of incredible costumes and interior design details that make my mouth water, alluring sub-stories about each of the characters that all but consume me, perfect acting and, most importantly, I'm pretty sure Don Draper is the most handsome, dashing and entrancing man to walk this earth. Ever. (I mean, assuming he were real and not a TV personality.)

Do I love it? Do I hate it? I am at a loss for why RTT and I watched 8 episodes in a row on demand in complete silence. It was spectacular.

I cannot wait for Season Two to begin on July 27th.
