How does Midge meet Don? I missed that aspect of the show. I realize she is 'artsy' in her lifestyle? They just don't seem to run in the same circles and though they have widely divergent lifestyles, he sees her more an equal than other women in his life.

I don't get the Don-Midge attraction at all. She is not attractive and seems physically slovenly, as does her apartment. Don's slumming with her, except she is intelligent and not at all needy (in sharp contrast to his squeeky clean but dim wife). However, I am not a man, I can't judge why a man like Don would find Midge attractive. I also question why Midge would be attracted to the very buttoned-down, conventional, establishment Don - even though he is gorgeous.

Don and Midge go back for at least five years (mention of a previous tobacco controversy in the first(?) episode). They probably met when he was new at S-C and she was doing some art work for them. Perhaps even when he was working for the furrier. She might even have worked in the S-C Art Department and then went out on her own. Both young and unattached (relatively) a few drinks and then back to her place.

She only knows him as Don Draper, advertising man. A good lay who doesn't make demands even if he does notice other people in her life (the giver of the portable TV and Dude.) She knows he's married but that suits her lifestyle.

Don doesn't consider himself slumming when he goes to her place. She's fun, comfortable and won't make demands of him. We don't know her background but it was probably better than his life on the farm. He may have secrets from her but he's totally comfortable in her presence. This doesn't include when they're with other people. She's his pressure valve - he comes to her place all stressed and then shifts gears. Peggy noticed that he returned to the office all greasy and calm.

As far as Midge not being good looking, he's got that at home. Neither Rachel nor Midge are going to win any beauty contests. But both are fascinating to him for different reasons.

I do recall Peggy's "greasy and calm" comment. That's kind of gross. He gets all sweated up and smells from sex in an unairconditioned studio apt., and doesn't even rinse off before returning to work. Remember the wife, who finally confesses to the psychiatrist that she knows Don is unfaithful, mentioning he comes home with the smell of perfume "and worse" - clearly she means the smell of another woman. That would be enough to drive any wife nuts, who didn't feel powerful enough to confront the adulterous husband. In the few foreplay scenes with Don and Betty, she seems emotionally needy but not sexually desirous of Don. He often rebuffs her mild attempts to initiate sex, which is his way of maintaining his dominance in the relationship. However, he welcomes the strenuous overtures of his concubines. Don practices the "madonna or whore" double standard, with his poor wife as the "good" madonna who's not supposed to like sex, and the mistresses as the "whores'" who are expected to be insatiable. (I use "madonna" in the classical sense, not in the sense of the pop singer madonna, who is the opposite of virginal!).

To me Midge is gorgeous and edgy, but I'm afraid for her future, as Don seems to be. The "whiskey and tits" comment she makes about using heroin says to me that she's going downhill fast. Don seems to care for her, so he doesn't use her for sex, even though she offers it -- and we know he doesn't turn down many offers of that sort. I don't quite understand what Don gets from her painting -- the one he "bought" -- he's about to get rid of it, but then he has some kind of epiphany while looking at it.It could be that Midge's descent is a wake-up call for him -- the business has not been kind to her and if this isn't the bottom, I don't know how much lower Midge can sink. Don may feel that his career is taking a similar turn, but then he gets new resolve -- he's not giving up yet. I hope Midge doesn't wind up in an early grave -- she has talent and I know she has pluck, too. Please, Midge, you're so love-able -- get away from that loser husband and get cleaned up -- we want to see you artistic talent come back to life, and to see you with a real smile on you face again!
