Great post! I am just now getting into the show after getting the first season from Netflix. I am so hooked! I love it. I find it so fascinating to see the roles that men and women played in society. The decor is so fun, too.

Well thanks Becky! If any shelter magazine wants to hire me as a market editor, I’m available… :)

I just blogged about MM earlier today, lamenting that I know NO ONE else who watches it, and then I caught this post. I’m so happy to see it. You have hit the nail on the head with your modern-day suggestions and I hope you keep up with the posts like this – you do it better than the magazines do!

BTW, I believe Season 1 begins in 1959-1960, right on the cusp of so much cultural and political change and turmoil. It catches everything on that brink so well – divorces, realizing smoking is bad for you, being a bohemian artsy type in the village, analysis, women in jobs other than tight sweater secretarial positions, etc. are all starting to bust at the seams out of the fifties and into the sixties.

Also, if you’ve never checked it out, look at victoryvintage.com. It’s one of my favorite stores that could easily fully furnish the offices of Sterling Cooper.

What a gorgeous post! Love the era, love the decor! Love your picks!

I’ve never seen the show, but isn’t it coincidental that the therapist is Mrs. Draper? Lynn
