Mad Men

"A favorite award winning TV program returns March 25th for its fifth season. Thank goodness discrimination, sexism, heavy drinking, constant smoking, envy, hypocrisy and adultery are back!

Mad Men is set in the 1960s at an advertising agency in New York City. It is the era of pencil skirts, pointy
breasts, stockings with garter belts, secretarial pools and typewriters. It was generally accepted a woman
would not have career .. she should be married and having babies by age 23 or 24.

As the story line progresses civil rights, feminism, rock 'n roll and antiwar protests force many social and cultural changes. Mad Men makes my stomach churn ... I came of age during the 1960s. I remember how suffocating it was then. I also remember many brave and committed people, with much suffering, helped make this country radically different by the end of the decade."

**P.S.: a special two hour show premiers tonight (3/25) on AMC, probably to be repeated sometime this week. Check your local carrier if you want to catch it/DVR it. I'm hooked on the show even though it is sometimes uncomfortable to watch ... it is compelling, has excellent acting, accurately portrays that era, Highly recommend!

Judy, I'm totally hooked on this show for exactly the reasons you mentioned: "...compelling, excellent acting, accurately portrays that era"...in which I grew up also. It'll be interesting to see how the show develops toward the end of that decade.
 
Awesome layout and the Metro Graffiti ArtPlay Palette is just perfect for the theme!!
 
I have never seen Mad Men...don't watch much TV. But this makes me think that I should try it.
 
I agree with Phylis--your wire, concrete, metal bg--provides the perfect gritty, urban backdrop for your marvelous text! Strong, artistic page, Judy!
 
fabulous! i love the photo and how you framed it and the uber cool background that you've made. so much anticipation over it's return!
