hehe, I have a wall sculpture like that for sale in my eBay store – it’s 3 pieces actually, the tree is kind of like the one on the show, plus 2 matching birds! Yes, I was tempted to keep it – like I am with most of the things I sell!

I am a huge fan of Mad Men as well, as much for the content as the set design. It is fascinating to see the attitudes of circa 1960 (racism, sexism and misogyny, classism, alcoholism, etc.) reproduced so accurately and vividly. The clothes are also fun, and not just the pointed bras. The men’s business attire is remarkable for its sameness and total lack of individuality. The hats on the men are kind of fun, though. And it SO rare to see period dramas with accurate haircuts on the men! No “beatnik” long hair on Mad Men, no sir! Just tight-cut sides and thoroughly Brylcreemed tops. Besides the women’s pointed bras, I really like the tight waists and full (crinolined?) skirts. And of course the interiors. I have a great time trying to spots items that I either grew up with or have now (or both!). In last week’s episode when Don came home to dinner at the table and he and his wife were having a cocktail … the glasses (Libbey’s “Golden Foliage”) are exactly like a set that I grew up with, and a full 100+ -piece set that I recently purchased at a local charity shop for $100!

I never watched this show last season. In fact, I’m not even sure I had heard of it until a few months ago. Now I love it and record it every week. I love the interiors!

I love this show. Great shots from it. I watch this show for many reasons. One of them is the amazing sets. I do wish they would feature more outside of the office. I love it.

I am totally addicted to Mad Men. I often replay and freeze the frame to get a look at the artwork, lamps, etc. Drives my husband a little nuts. So impressed with the actors on the show also.
