Mid-Century Madness

mad men toons
Last week I binged on the first season, and tonight I watched the season premiere of Mad Men twice. The pitch-perfect retro style of the show would be enough to hook me, but then you have Peggy, my new favorite character on television. They could have made hers a tired geek to chic narrative, but instead she's "an eaglet disguised as a wren," all twisted ambitions and desires. Hell, all the characters are dimensional and intriguing. Game of the day: can you guess who's who (above)?

Oh MY but we are so alike! I am a BIG fan of Peggy. The scene where she's dancing while walking towards Pete and then, later, trying to hide her tears....gah! I think she is an amazing talent.

My guesses are Roger, Don, Joan and Betty. But I'm prolly wrong.
