We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it

Sugar and Splice

One for the office, another for the unemployed.

Want!

I'm a little too excited over these framed prints of directors (Martin, Stanley, Woody, & Quentin) by Kelly Puissegur, a.k.a retrowhale. Oh, and she makes coasters, too, with even more of our favorite auteurs (Wes, Paul Thomas, Jim J, Joel & Ethan). Perfect for decorating the arthouse cinema I own in my fantasy life.

Joan, Roger and The Lil Pumpkin

It's true, Peggy, that we can't all be Joan, but we can try!


Hey, when did Roger get so tall?


Happy post-Halloween Mad Men Sunday to all!

He Never Drinks Wine

I'll admit it: I'm a sucker for the 1979 version of Dracula. ( I even have a souvenir program from the movie.) It's so overstuffed with bats, cobwebs, ruffle shirts, and smoke machine atmosphere, it's like a romance novel version of the tale. Plus, you get Frank Langella and Laurence Olivier chewing the scenery together! But I really wish I could have seen the Broadway stage version with Frank Langella, mostly because Edward Gorey designed the entire production. Talk about atmosphere!

One of the Sterling Cooper secretarial pool?

Perhaps Art and Life mingle a little too much in my mind, but when I see this fantastic old photo of my mom, I imagine her in Sterling Cooper's offices, typing at a steel secretary desk, or whispering in the break room about another potential takeover.
