Mad Men

Rachel, the gal who did my Shellac pedicure and manicures this summer told me about Mad Men, an AMC TV series. 

I decided to get the first season through Netflix and I love it!  I'm now downloading them instead of waiting for the next DVD to arrive in the mail.  I've started the 3rd season.

"Mad Men is set in the 1960s, initially at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City, and later at the newly created firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. The focal point of the series is Don Draper (Jon Hamm), creative director at Sterling Cooper and a founding partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, as well as those in his life, both in and out of the office. As such, it regularly depicts the changing moods and social mores of 1960s America. "

I'm remembering so many of the events that occurred during the time period and am amazed how accurately they depict the dress, hair styles, and culture. Looking back at those times, I'm amazed how things have changed so much.  What were we thinking!  Well, not me as I was about 12 or 13 years old during the start of the series, but still!

If you haven't seen it, give it a try and let me know what you think.
