Basket of Kisses

  • The Lipp Sisters’ first Video Blog!!!

    Dear Basketcases, Some of you saw the video I made a few weeks back discussing the Joan and Peggy hallway scene. Deborah and I were talking about different ways we could do it collaboratively (we live about an hour apart–perhaps a google hangout), but then through an unusual turn of events, we wound up watching [...]

    The Quality of Mercy Recap: The Bataan Death March

    Bob Benson is gay. I just want to get that out of the way, because whoever had “Fraud” in the pool is doing a happy dance right now (and there are a lot of you), so I want you to know you still have to split your winnings with the “Gay” voters. Melissa P. pointed [...]

  • Father's Day

    Father’s Day

    The male characters of Mad Men say things to each other that you rarely hear on television. Roger’s insensitivity (“There’s a line, Freddy. And you wet it.”), Lane’s outrage (“You grimy little pimp.”), and Pete’s ambition (“A man like you I’d follow into combat blindfolded.”). They are all laid bare for us without nuance or [...]

  • Anticipation.... Finale Party and an exclusive with Matt.

    Anticipation…. Finale Party and an exclusive with Matt.

    Keep watching this space, folks. I believe I will be able to announce party details today–if not, just keep your eyes up top; it will be in the bloggy-go-round. The Basket will definitely be hosting in Manhattan on Sunday, June 23rd. Celebrity drop-ins? I’ve never predicted it right yet. Oh and also? Monday, June 24th [...]

  • Name Peggy’s Pet

    Name Peggy’s Pet

    In “Favors”, Peggy learned she could not depend on men to help solve her apartment’s rat problem. Because she is an intelligent woman, she found the answer on her own; she bought a cat. What do you think she named her cat? If she asked you for advice on what to name her new pet, [...]

    Ah, my favorite juggler.  This portrait of Roger was so stunning I had to post it! (Why do I want to kiss it?)   By Jake W. Bullock

  • Juggling

    Juggling

    Two images encapsulate Mad Men Episode 6.11, Favors, for me. First, Roger juggling. Not just because it’s awesome, but because everyone has balls in the air, everyone’s juggling, and everyone’s inevitably going to drop a ball.

  • My favorite date in the history of all dates

    My favorite date in the history of all dates

    I don’t know what you’re expecting. I mean, a couple of alter kockers arrange a meeting like this. It sounds very old world, but it doesn’t feel like it. I mean, you’re a sexy girl, and you smell great. You don’t need to be set up. And I sure as hell didn’t arrange this. I [...]
