Mad Men

Advertisement Feminist Mad Men

HEY BEYONCE, THIS IS WHY WOMEN NEED TO STICK TOGETHER!

In honor of the Mad Men premier Sunday, The NY Daily News dug up some sexist advertisements from the mid-century era of the show. This is just the type of ad that Don Draper would have smirkingly approved. It’s amazing and laughable to look back at how women were held in such low regard in those days. Men ruled then, but soon feminism reared its beautiful head and times are still evolving. Hopefully, Beyonce, who seems to have forgotten the continued need for female equality, will take a close look at this. (Our favorite ad is by Van Heusen, above.)

Jennifer Westfeldt Jon Hamm Mad Men SAG Awards

JON HAMM AND JENNIFER WESTFELDT: A HIGHLY DECORATIVE COUPLE

#jonhamm #janetcharlton

Jon Hamm and his actress/screenwriter partner Jennifer Westfeldt were snapped leaving their LA home for the SAG Awards looking equally splendid. Jon has had many nominations for Mad Men, but for some reason rarely goes home with a trophy. Still, he shows up for the events, and adds glamour to the evening.

China Don Draper Jon Hamm Mad Men

DON DRAPER ON THE BEACH IS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD

Don Draper is not just a hot commodity in the US, he and his Mad Men lifestyle are much admired in China. The LA Times reports that the 60’s era series is playing online with Chinese subtitles and fansites are multiplying. Part of the show’s appeal is said to be the fact that is closely resembles current Chinese culture – a high divorce rate, lots of smoking in the workplace, and a workforce dominated by men. Above, Jon Hamm is filming in Hawaii and we love his clean shaven look and manly trunks as opposed to grizzled guys in speedos today.

Fashion Jon Hamm Mad Men

JON HAMM: DON DRAPER WOULDN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE LOOKING LIKE THIS

#jonhamm #janetcharlton

Didn’t Jon Hamm absorb a THING about men’s fashion after playing the dapper Don Draper on Mad Men all these years? Really, the Draper character is catnip to women of all ages and a lot of it is because of his immaculate grooming and style. Off camera, Hamm allows himself to look like any other schlump on the street. And he has all the basic ingredients of good looks and physique to work with! On a hot New York day, Don would have worn khaki pants and a neat sport shirt with loafers and shades. Of course, Jon’s look makes it easier to get around the city without those admiring glances…

"Friends With Kids" Girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt Jon Hamm Mad Men

“MAD MEN’S” JON HAMM LIKES BRAINY WOMEN

The “Mad Men“ star Jon Hamm‘s girlfriend of fifteen years, Jennifer Westfeldt, went to Yale and wrote and starred in the indie hit “Kissing Jessica Stein” in 2001. She also wrote and starred in her new movie “Friends With Kids” that has a great cast – many from “Bridesmaids.” (Jon has a costarring role) It’s an intelligent comedy about relationships, but far more sophisticated than “Bridesmaids.” Jon and Jennifer have been promoting the film which opens this week and we absolutely recommend this movie – it’s great to see a comedy written by a woman!

Baby Talk January Jones Jason Sudeikis Mad Men Pregnant Saturday Night Live

JANUARY JONES MAY HAVE A BIG SURPRISE FOR JASON SUDEIKIS

“Saturday Night Live” comic Jason Sudeikis’s phone must be ringing nonstop. His ex-girlfriend January Jones of “Mad Men,” just announced that she is pregnant with her first child but she declined to name the father. Since Jason, 35, and January, 33, dated from July to this past January, all fingers are pointing at HIM as likeliest to be the father! We wonder if he’s freaking out, or in denial, or celebrating – anything can happen.

JANUARY JONES JUST WANTS A GOOD LAUGH

Admirers of Mad Men’s January Jones might be interested to hear that she has a weakness for funny men. Not gorgeous guys, comedians. She loves comics more than any other kind of guy – especially the ones on SNL. A knowledgeable source has informed us that she and Jason Sudeikis are just friends, however. She’s rumored to have had a flirtation with Fred Armisan and definitely had a fling with Jeremy Piven. Her search for the funniest guy in town is still underway.

Donatella Versace January Jones Mad Men Versace

JANUARY JONES TAKES IT ALL OFF FOR VERSACE



Photos via: Daily Mail
January Jones proved she’s capable of a lot more steam that her prim Mad Men character Betty Draper. The 32 year old actress was introduced to Donatella Versace at an event and Donatella was so impressed with her “feminine, classic beauty” that she personally picked her to be the new face of Versace. January kept her retro blonde flip for the nude photos promoting handbags and shoes.
