It’s entirely possible that no Mad Men character grew more over the show’s seven seasons than Sally Draper. And it’s just as possible that no actor on the show changed more than Kiernan Shipka. Though she’s only fifteen years old (and won’t even turn sixteen until this November), Shipka radiates the grace and charm of a…
The last time we see Don Draper in the very last episode of Mad Men, he’s meditating on the California coastline and smiling as the sun rises to meet him. For perhaps the first time in the run of the show, he seems truly happy. And he’s found that happiness by letting go of everything…
The major topic of conversation regarding this past Sunday’s Mad Men finale is, of course, the ending.

Mad Men took its final bow last night. The show wrapped up seven seasons and eight years by attempting to answer the question at its very core: Who is Don Draper? And can he ever be happy? The show didn’t go full Sopranos and destroy us with ambiguity. But it did–perhaps unsurprisingly–leave us wondering…
Don fakes his own death! Pete kills Don! Betty commits suicide so her kids can collect double the insurance money! Stan smuggles Peggy into Mexico in his beard! Matt Weiner drops a couch on Don, cackles “Winning!”, and does a shot of bottom-shelf vodka! There are plenty of theories going around about how Mad…

Last night’s episode of Mad Men had a nipple in a box and a Don Draper threesome, but all that still had nothing on Sally Draper sass-slaying her mom Betty after breaking her nose while “sword-fighting with golf clubs” with her friend.

Just like Betty on Mad Men, women in the 1960s eagerly turned to fad diets to lose weight. But, hey! Wouldn’t you be more willing to “lose weight” if there was such as thing as the Drinking Man’s Diet?
Jon Hamm and underwear have been strangers for years. There’s no evidence that they’ve ever been close. Whenever he goes out in a dapper suit, this is the result and this.

AMC released the official Mad Men Season 6 poster today, and as usual it’s got all us Draperphiles scouring over it looking for clues about what to expect in the upcoming season. The illustration was drawn by 75-year-old advertising illustrator Brian Sanders and was inspired by an illustration he did back in 1964.

Mad Men Season Six premieres April 7 on AMC, and while we can’t wait, these photos will have to tide us over. What can they tell us about the new season? jo
Christina Hendricks is known for her curves, and while she embraces her figure, the actress has her limits when it comes to what people say about her frame. During a recent interview, the actress was caught off guard when the woman interviewing her referred to her as a “full-figured” woman. While off camera, Christina expressed her disapproval of the term, but the interviewer seemed to forget as she brought it up once again. That’s when the Mad Men star became a mad woman star and the whole thing came to an awkwardly abrupt halt.
The stylish, game-changing show Mad Men has made serious celebrities out of its actors like Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks. Now one of the unheralded stars from the show has received its propers as Slacktory has made a supercut of every single on-screen drink from the series. Watch 5 minutes of pure drank but remember to please enjoy responsibly.
Mad Men actress January Jones was almost unrecognizable as she pinned back her trademark blonde locks and went with dramatically dark, goth-glam eye makeup.

Keep reading for the photos and a makeup tutorial from the woman who created the look for January!

August is apparently the month for drastic hair changes! The latest celeb to give her skull rug a complete makeover is (former?) Mad Men actress Elisabeth Moss, who followed the lead of Miley Cyrus by going with a really short and really blonde look at the New York City premiere of For A Good Time Call… last night. (Are we seeing the beginning of the end for long, dark hair?!? I blame global warming!)
This is the elephant in the room for Don Draper is his health, and the show’s creators are leaving clues that suggest Don Draper’s smoking and drinking have finally caught up with him. While he’s busy living in a quiet desperation, his body might be finally rebelling against him after all the cigarettes, the booze, the long hours working, and of course the massive stresses of a bad childhood, war, divorce, and of course, secretly taking over someone’s identity.
Here are the reasons why I think Don Draper is suffering from lung cancer, emphysema, or some other illness brought on by his dangerous 1960’s Ad Man lifestyle:

Mad Men fans heads’ were invaded by a silly little tune during last night’s Season 5 premiere. Don Draper’s new wife Megan (played by French-Canadian Jessica Paré) did a seductive little dance during his birthday party while singing what sounded like “Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo.”
What does it all mean, and why did she infiltrate our brains with this repetitive nonsense?
Belvedere Vodka took tasteless advertising to an entirely new level Friday when they posted a photo on Twitter and Facebook featuring a seemingly terrified woman trying to resist a man grabbing her from behind along with the slogan, “Unlike some people, Belvedere always goes down smoothly.” Keep reading to see the full advert, which was pulled soon after, as well as the cavalcade of apologies from Belvedere Vodka’s execs.
AMC’s perennial Emmy winning series Mad Men returns for its fifth season with a two-hour premiere on March 25, and on Monday the network released a batch of official cast photos for the upcoming run. Keep reading for the stylized 1960s portraits of the whole Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce gang! (Minus the fiercest and awesomest secretary to ever grace the small screen. R.I.P. Ms. Ida Blankenship.)
It appears Jon Hamm is a mad man when it comes to the popularity of reality stars! The Mad Men actor spoke very candidly on the subject in April’s Elle UK magazine, saying “Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated.” Then he adds, “Being a f***ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.” Find out what other trait in women he is not a big fan of, that is bound to further enrage Bethenny Frankel.
A month after AMC released a somewhat controversial teaser poster announcing Mad Men would be returning for its fifth season on March 25, the network has now unveiled the official Mad Men Season 5 poster, which is just as slick, complex, and perfectly composed as you would expect from the creators of greatest show about advertising ever! (Well, except for maybe Melrose Place – but that’s completely different!)
On March 25th Mad Men comes back to AMC with their 5th season, so naturally the network is getting its promotional engines warmed up. As part of their marketing material, they have released a minimalist promotional poster for the new season that features a silhouetted man in a suit falling on a white-to-light-gray gradient background with just the words “March 25” along the bottom. The image is graphically striking in its simplicity, but according to sites like Salon and Wet Paint, the poster is causing a bit of controversy from folks who think it is an obvious reference to 9/11.
Do you long for the more refined style of the 1960s American upper class? Does watching Mad Men on AMC make your Ed Hardy shirt seem extra douchey?

(If your answer to the third question is “yes” then you are probably a misogynist smoker who probably wouldn’t shop at Banana Republic any way.)

Mad Men is one of the most beautifully executed television shows ever made, and Vanity Fair has helped uncover what may be one of the biggest inspirations for it’s signature style: an obscure and short-lived 1960s comic called Those Madison Avenue Men!
