So I entered the Mad Men Casting contest thinking it would be fun to try and I actually thought I had a really good entry. After I entered, I was disheartened to see that the front-runners have hundreds of thousands of votes! Not sure how that is possible unless they are using some kind of bot.
Hopefully the contest admins will be able to tell the real votes from the robotic.... In the meantime--here is the link to my entry. Just thought I would put it out there!

Let's talk about the latest episode here! I thought this was the best episode of the season so far. I was cringing while watching Don at that Life meeting.... also, I was so relieved that he didn't have to give a speech. He might be going to AA meetings with Freddie before long.
So, Don lied to get his foot into the door at Sterling Cooper? That's how I took that ending and it was hilarious. Oh, and what about that art director Peggy was stuck with? The guy was a sociopath.

I've seen photos of Robert Morse at the Emmys and he's beardless. Are they done shooting for the season, or is he done with his episodes this season, or is his beard on MadMen just makeup?

Oops! I was thinking of the guy who plays Kinsey. (I guess I strongly associate him with a beard.) They probably are through filming for the season, yes. I don't think the facial hair on Robert Morse is fake.

The producers seem to be experimenting a little in subtle, and not so subtle variation of the atmosphere, mood and feel of the shows.
It's been alternating seemingly on a weekly basis, one to the other, from a conventional Mad Men style what we've grown accustomed to, and comfrotable with, then the next week, into a darker and more deeply dramatic and disturbing tone, one week, to the next.
Experimenting with different direction is one element, an example being John Slattery's Madmen directorial debut, himself doing a darker episode.
From my perspective, It's a logical step, all in keeping with the brilliance of the series, and the changes come about to a degree that strikes a balance enough to chalange you, without severely putting you off.
I have to give Matt Weiner credit, in doing such, without over doing it, or ruinining the appeal. That's the key right there.
The show overall is actually more interesting, and better than ever.
I compare this evolution to that of the Beatles, in thier transition from the pop, and lighter style of the early 60s through the decade, to their far more sofisticated substance and style.
I guess that's also a metaphor for the entire decade, and once again, Weiner captures that essience, in art, and fiction, emulating reality.
Mad Men continues to astonish me at every turn, and wildly surpass my expectations.
I appreicate what they do, if not fully understanding how they manage to pull it off, and not sacrificing an inch in quality. I've never seen anything quite like it. Outstanding ! M

I've never seen Don as drunk, or staying drunk for as long as he did in the most recent episode. This of course is a spiral that further erodes his personel relations, particuarly with his family.
I fear what his reaction maybe if, and when,, something terrible happens to Anna.

I've just gotten interested in Mad Men (I know I'm late to the party), and add a question about a comment made in the second episode.
Betty and Mona are leaving the bathroom and one of the African American attendants says "Those purses get any smaller and we're gonna starve."
I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. Any insight would be appreciated.

The small purse is a metaphor for low, or non-existant tipping of the attendents, who probably rely heavily on tips for their services.

"Tryptic the art term as in 3 pieces that make up one artistic whole. 3 panels of one painting etc. I always thought that was one part of the many things MM is about, a flowing or interweaving exploration of those 3 as one of a central basis of it all. " Oh, I see, they're spelling it differently in Wikipedia. They spell it "Triptych" instead - not to say the alternate spelling isn't valid - I wouldn't know.

AMC is running a contest with Banana Republic to find the best candidates for a walk on role for season 5. Contestants load pictures of themselves in a “Mad Men” setting to look the part. I'm really disappointed with some of the front-runners pictures; the quality and attention to detail just isn’t there.
As an avid fan I felt it necessary to “do right” by the show and throw my hat in the ring. It’s large task to break in to the top ten, but I’m looking for some help from the Mad Men community.
Link has my entry. Would appreciate any help in spreading it around to get more votes. Thanks!

“The Rejected,” also known as Pete Spawns, Experimental Peggy, and Don’s Dirty Laundry is Hanging Him. FYI this episode was directed by Roger!!!! 10:01: Roger’s Back! Don’s chain-smoking. 10:02: Don: “Why is this bottle empty?” Secretary: “Because you drank it!” Enter Peggy and Dr. Miller. Don: “Did you bring ice?” 10:03: Petulant Pete tantrums that he’s not in on Lucky Strike call. Roger tells Pete Clearasil’s out and advises “Throw yourself on the grenade.” Am I on the wrong channel? Is this The Jersey Shore? (“I took the grenade so Pauley could have the pretty one???”) 10:04: Roger calls a false fire alarm to get client off phone. “Look, Radio City’s burning!” I want to work with Roger! 10:05: Roger to Don’s secretary: “Write everything down. Wait, strike that we’re overbilling Lucky Strike.” 10:06: (That column in Pete’s office is like the Dating Game—you never know who’s on the other side.) Oh, look, Harry Crane’s eating at Pete’s desk reading the NYT wedding section. Pete: “Puerto Rican Girls buy brassieres!” Lunch with Cosgrove—tag-a-long Pete! 10:07: Life, lesbians, Peggy & Porn. Where’s Sal???? Nobody could do lesbian like Sal. I miss Sal!!!(And is it me or does Joyce look like she could be the twin sister of Otter from Animal House?) 10:08: Pete meets FIL (father-in-law) for Dewar’s lunch. His High Wasp flag is flying. 10:09: FIL drops the bomb on Pete before Pete can drop the bomb on FIL. Pete’s spawning—the birth of the Young Regan Republicans. And I love FIL’s callous afterthought about his wife, “Jeannie had her uterus removed. Some kind of cyst or something.” (Or was it an illegal abortion???) 10:10: Baby’s out of the bag and Clearasil is off the table. 10:11: Trudy to Pete: “How do you know how this feels?” Go Trudy! (BTW, is it me or is it painful to watch Pete kiss Trudy—so awkward.

"Me too!! I don't ever remember him appearing uncomfortable before." Heh, even my husband was shouting, "That's right, Don! You squirm in your seat, you jerk!" I felt so bad for Allison, but then I totally sided with Peggy for being upset by the implication that she had been one of Don's conquests. Peggy works so hard and they probably all gossip about how she slept her way to the top. Peggy will find way more happiness with her new counterculture friends, I think. Oh, if Kinsey could see her now, hanging out with Warhol Factory types...

I have been a fan since episode one of season one because this show is different than anything else on TV. However, I detected something in last night's episode that I hope is not shapes of things to come. Up until now the language used has been relatively clean, and I like that. In my opinion, profanity is a sign of a lack of intelligence, vocabulary, and imagination. Last night a word beginning with the letter "s" was used at least three times in this episode. Is Matthew Weiner attempting to portray the '60s as a revolutionary time through the use of this kind of language? I certainly hope not. Weiner can successfully create an accurate vision of the '60s without stooping to this level and thereby compromising the quality of this truly fine show.

I noticed them saying it several times last week too and wondered if maybe AMC just changed its policy. Funny enough, there have been times on the show where I found it *unrealistic* because some of the men weren't using coarser language.
I'll be curious if we'll see a return of the s-bomb next week. Maybe it was just that episode's writer?

I wonder if we can say that Don loves Anna unconditionally, there are things Don has not told Anna. He didn't tell Anna that after he rejected his brother he killed himself, he only told her about rejecting him. She believes to know everything about him, but she doesn't.
Nonetheless, Anna is like the mother he never had, spiritual, but not religious, apparently free of judgment. I wonder if we will learn more about their relationship. Was it ever romantic?
BTW, Dr. G should have been a pediatrician.

To the list of things for which we owe a debt of gratitude to Mad Men, such as Christina Hendricks, curves in general, glamour, and cocktail hour, we can soon add a collection of richly pigmented Mad Men-style nail lacquer created by the show's costume designer, Janie Bryant for Nailtini.
While we anxiously await the fall launch of the lacquers, which were inspired by the luxe fabrics and cocktails dresses of the era, we can toss aside the rainbow bright shades of the season and upgrade with shimmery hues like gold and bronze for the rest of summer and move on to deep tones like ruby and brown come fall. It's an easy and inexpensive way to give yourself a saucy boost of glam.
