is my new obsession. And I got my FF hooked as well. I am not sure how I missed it the first go around, but Netflix is my friend in instances like this. I am also not sure what the draw is because it is just about everything I stand against. I started watching it as a way to pass the time after I was protesting folding all of the laundry with no help. (Not sure why I do that, I always end up still doing it by myself, just in larger quantities!) But none-the-less, it has sucked me in and I am on Episode 5 of season 4.
I look at how the wives and secretaries are treated and just shake my head. I cannot even imagine living in that world. But, I would have been raised differently and therefore my expectations would have been different. If the sound goes out, you could tell what role the women were playing. Every woman falls into 1 of 3 categories - housewife, sexy secretary/temptress and career girl. You don't have to hear a word come out of their mouth, just look at what they are wearing.
It is an interesting look in a time gone by. Makes me grateful to have been born a decade later. So, once my hubby wakes up from his nap, we will continue where we left off, wrapping up season 4 this weekend. It is like the accident, you know you shouldn't be watching, but you can't pull your eyes away.
Enjoy your day and do something fun with your family. And put a nipple on that retro Coke bottle. My kids would have loved this!
I haven't seen Mad Men but it looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteRecently on my satellite dish they were showing 3 free previews of a new STARZ series called Magic City. It's set in 1950's Miami and is centered around a glamorous hotel, the Miramar Playa.
There's a lot of cigarette smoking, the women are sex objects, there's mob connections and blackmail and all kinds of stuff like that.
I think I really just liked the way they all used to dress up so fine in the 50's, lol.
