I’m extremely impressionable with food scenes, and I remember a scene when they were having strawberries and cream in their garden and so wanted some too. Even when Richard was having toast on Keeping Up Appearances out of special serving tray, I thought I should have that too! <br /><br />Cate- and you have that red hair to match! I colored mine for years red but stopped due to the expense, chemicals and wanted to be my natural color. Sometimes, I miss it. The New York Times talked about the popularity of red hair, and guess who they mentioned?<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/28/fashion/28SKIN.html<br /><br />"Christina Hendricks, of "Mad Men," who has perhaps done more to reinvigorate the color than anyone else, appears on the November cover of Harper's Bazaar."<br /><br />Actually, I bought a white vintage nightgown for $10 via thrift and thought, "This is so Betty Draper!"<br /><br />Carol – perhaps you've picked the theme for next week's Mad Men Mondays. ;-) You're eating all of that great French food and seeing all those fabulously dressed French women and men, so I understand!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488301404397970300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146928463353478852.post-65229186012445413232011-03-21T14:50:13.647-04:002011-03-21T14:50:13.647-04:00Although I'm as obsessed as the next person wi...Although I'm as obsessed as the next person with MM, I can't think of a single item of food or clothing I wanted to emulate. <br />What's wrong with me?<br />I'm crazy for the inner drives and obsessions of Don et famille. It's their psychology that grabs me and keeps me rivited. Plus the identity issues.<br />Could we start an In Treatment Tuesdays?Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146928463353478852.post-29167863926035560132011-03-21T13:52:19.758-04:002011-03-21T13:52:19.758-04:00Hehe, Mad Men does always make me want a drink, an...Hehe, Mad Men does always make me want a drink, and some Utz chips (but that's because I love them anyway, and am really sad that they're nowhere to be found in Kentucky!) But mostly I'm not really influenced by the show's product placement. I do find myself pining for Joan's wardrobe, though. I rarely go shopping for clothes because our budget just isn't all that big but when I do, I ask myself, "Would Joan wear this?" It's actually a helpful tactic for figuring out what looks good on me, since I have a similar body shape.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264419866877407201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146928463353478852.post-1234533302002436102011-03-21T13:47:42.721-04:002011-03-21T13:47:42.721-04:00I do this too! Oh hell, we all do it. After a part...I do this too! Oh hell, we all do it. After a particularly long "As Time Goes By" marathon, I found myself on ebay, looking for bread tins and dishes found in the show. It wasn't even a case of careful product placement--no name brands. Just stuff. Stuff I knew I needed. Sigh.<br /><br />I am far too easily influenced by advertising. I have to remind myself to stay ever viligent. I haven't watched Mad Men, but I have no doubt that I would develop a keen interest in stocking my bar if I were to watch it. Even the commercials make me want a nice cocktail!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
