TV Guide, Marie Claire Join Mad Men Chorus of Approval

Yearning for one of Betty Draper's breezy floral dresses? Coveting a pair of Peggy Olsen's classic pumps with grosgrain bows? How about Joan Holloway's gold tassel necklace? Well, TV Guide's next issue is running a photo spread of Mad Men's influence on today's fashions -- and revealing where the everyday shopper can find outfits and accessories inspired by the show, which has been characterized as an evocative rendering of the styles of the 1960s. (For the record, viewers can check out Forever 21 for Betty's dress, Prada for Peggy's shoes and Bloomingdale's for Joan's necklace.)

Meanwhile, Vincent Kartheiser is the focus of a piece in Marie Claire's July issue. His Pete Campbell is called the "junior ad exec we just love to hate to love." And despite trying to blackmail his boss and pimp out his wife in Season 1, "you almost feel sorry for the guy," it says. The article also points out that the "affably spazzy" Kartheiser has "hit pay dirt with the stylish Mad Men, navigating the sleazy side of office life like an old pro" and notes that "nearly everything about AMC's stealth hit... mesmerizes."

And Emmy buzz still abounds. Access Hollywood has now joined the chorus, promoting season two with an appearance by Jon Hamm and predicting that the man behind Don Draper is a likely nominee for a lead actor statue.

Hi Carolyn and thanks for the reply. Will Season 2 episodes be available right after it airs? If not, when will they be download-able? I've watched them all of Season 1 off of iTunes and will be buying the Season Pass as soon as I can... can't wait... thanks again.
