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.

Carmen Soo's dress is nothing less than fabulous, no question about it. Perfectly accessorized also.
I just don't like not recognizing Katherine McPhee. I love her dress. I hope she goes back to brunette soon, though.
Fit issues notwithstanding, Juliana's dress is rockin too. So much so that I almost didn't notice she'd accessorized with black and gold, which looks ok. But just so. I would have been fab paired with just gold or white and gold accessories. The black is just too much for the softness of her hairdo and dress.
My inner Edna Mode screamed "too much of it dahling!" at #11.
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.
@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.
Sadie, that was comedy gold! Its hard to pick a favorite, but of all the comments I think #11 wins. But, then I remember #4 and...damn its ALL hilarious!
