Mad Men

July 3, 2012 By Talya Tate Boerner 4 Comments

John and I are the last two people on board, but we made it. We’re slow. We know it. This week we watched our first episode of Mad Men. 
I was hooked right off by the opening sequence, haunting music, Hitchcock visuals. Cool. 

It’s a spot on study of the 1960s. I’m so into the fashion and sexism and cigarette smoking, I can barely concentrate on the plot. 
I love the banter from the secretarial pool. The men actually say honey and darling and you should wear shorter skirts, show more leg. The good ole days before sexual harassment and diversity training and computers ruined everything. 
It’s really not that different from working at the bank… but somehow it is.
Got a light?
