Mad about Mad Men

Season 3 of cult series Mad Men had its finale on US tv last night, causing my friend, The Austin Blonde, to exclaim "OMG OMG OMG... I cried and was shocked and I felt like my heart was being squeezed the WHOLE episode. I can't bear the thought of having to wait a year to see what happens next!!!! Torture". So, as you can imagine, us Brits are climbing the walls for the latest season to make an appearance in the schedules. Not least in the hope that it will be accompanied by the commercial tie ins our cousins across the pond enjoyed. Banana Republic (below) and Brooks Brothers both payed homage to the show in the States, allowing both Mad Men and Mad Women to get that 50's, Martini-for-breakfast, "Not on my watch", look.



So what can us Brits look forward to in terms of Mad-Menning our wardrobes? TopShop does Mad Men?? Maybe we need to ask ourselves... What would Don Draper do?

WWDDD? (What Would Don Draper Do?)
Twitter, apparently!

Click HERE for a brilliant Guardian article on the Mad Men fanatics who are Twittering in full character.

Not sure what this means. Is Twittering the ultimate self-involved method of time-wasting yet proffered up by our navel-gazing generation? Or is it a gleaming insight into the informed, connected global village of our future? Discuss.

My addiction to Mad Men has turned me back onto Ella Fitzgerald and this song has had me gliding around the newly sun-drenched London. And let's not forget it's Sex and the City season!
