Well, Hortense, you've certainly made me contemplate the unwieldy logistics of mummy sex this fine Saturday evening (wouldn't the process of unwrapping him kill the mood?)
And that's definitely a sentence that I thought I'd never type.
I was so glad that this season ended with work front and center again. I think Mad Men draws it's true cohesion from the fact that it's a show about work and the fascinating dynamics that occur when human beings set off on a working endeavor together. As much as I'm totally absorbed by the personal relationships, I was truly thrilled with the launch of the new ad agency. I can't wait to see where that goes. Of course it wouldn't be nearly so exciting if it hadn't brought Joan back front and center!
The only good thing about Mad Men being on a season break is that Breaking Bad isn't much further behind. That show is pretty much the opposite world as Mad Men, but my goodness is it powerful. Such a brilliant show. Good job to AMC for having such great shows on their airwaves.
So, this is funny (to me) but I am doing this Cross pen giveaway thing and someone mentioned that Joan wears a pen around her neck. I never knew that was a pen, I thought it was a pendant!
As for Joan's hubby, I just hope he never comes back. I don't like him.
@Penny: Last year for Christmas I told my mom I wanted a gold pen on a chain like Joan's. She hadn't started watching Mad Men yet, and she gave me a plastic yellow pen on a ball chain from Claire's. Oops.

Though I'm the only Jeze-reader who doesn't watch Mad Men (no cable but it's on my Netflix queue, I promise!) I don't mind the references because that time period fascinates me.
Also: They promise "sparkling" results for black hair...but I'm guessing you have to be in the sun in order to get the full effect.
I read the Guardian article and I think these groups are good IF they thoughtfully explore the male identity and address issues of sexism and machismo from the male perspective, as well as giving mental health support.
The point the Merton college student made is absolutely correct. Oxford has a high male (don't know about female) suicide rate. While I was still living there a couple months ago a young man committed suicide, and this was sadly not uncommon. All suicide or untreated mental illness is a tragedy, and I think that if these men's groups actually discuss men's mental health issues then they are a good thing.
I can understand why men may want to address sensitive issues like mental health in a supportive "all-male" environment, but I think that women should be able to join in the discussion of masculinity as a concept and social role.
@Nariel: Christina Hendricks is a blonde?! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!! I never would have guessed that. I am also quite impressed with her, as I am also a blonde and attempted to dye my hair red and it never really stayed. I think I have to hate her now.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I think she can be an honorary true red head..because I wouldn't have guessed by looking at her either (and she's got that certain je ne sais quoi).
I've considered dying mine red for fun, but I always feel like there's something extra fake about being a fake red head. I guess you don't choose it, it chooses YOU.

(I am now picturing Edward working at Sterling Cooper, and it is a far more entertaining image than anything else I've come up with this morning.)
