Mad About Gossip: Halloween Edition!
Whenever I am looking for fresh gossip on our beloved Mad Men cast, I always find myself feeling like a bonafied stalker. It’s a tough job, but someone has got to do it!
I was trying to bring you all a little Halloween treat in the form of costumes but they haven’t resurfaced as of yet. When they do, I promise to upload as soon as possible. But in the mean time, here’s a little visual for you. It seems our beloved Ms Jones is quite the sports fan. She took it one step further in saying she might dress up as Troy Polamalu.
What? Yeah. I don’t get it either, but here’s a fun little photoshop job:

Not on target for this blog post, but I've just been notified I won an AMC Mad Men contest: the Betram Cooper quote contest.
http://blogs.amctv.com/mad-men/2009/10/bertram-co...
My entry?
Bertram Cooper: "Mr. Crane, focus, please. We didn’t make you head of television just to shorten your attention span."
Possibly because I included a comment, I originally wrote on basketofkisses:
"What a lovely slam: also shows that Bert's generation of ad men disdain television and still revere print."
Winnah, winnah, chicken dinnah.
(And if the prizes I receive are as listed, I might never need to complain again that I don't have the DVDs to consult.)

This pic could give the writers at SNL some skit ideas…JJ hosting Nov. 14.

Congrats #1, you won the contest even though you didn't follow the rules and "include the season and episode from which the quote is taken" in your submission.

I never recognize her outside of her Betty makeup…

"you won the contest even though you didn’t follow the rules and “include the season and episode from which the quote is taken†in your submission"
Yeah, I noticed that, too. But I think my quote and comment were perhaps the best entry (out of a short field), if I do say so myself.
Although they might've chosen me at random or be showering goodies to the whole list of qouters.
Who knows? I won, anyway!

Hopefully that Sunday's finale is the last time that we see Betty featured as a central character. Her story-arc has been pretty interesting as a whole, but I don't think that showing us another season of her life, even if it's as Mrs. Francis, would be adding a whole lot to the show – I see her very much as a relic of the 50s. Pete Campbell, on the other hand, has emerged this season as someone really in tune to the development of the 60s, so I hope that Weiner focuses much of his writing on him for season 4. Peggy Olson can stay too, even if I find her at times overly compliant and work-obsessed.

Whoa! I was like, who the h-e double hockey sticks is that from Mad Men and then I realized it was January Jones! Holy make-over Batman!
