Prepare for a glimpse of the treasures of the Mad Men universe -- the costume shop. Designer Janie Bryant walks through racks and racks of colorful clothing and reminds us that the '60s were when "people really had a good time dressing." For a close up of the chiffon and the glen plaid you've seen on the screen, and the mood boards that Bryant uses for inspiration, check out the video.
With the Aug. 16 premiere just a few weeks away now, the cast and crew talk about what we can expect in Season 3. Some of their thoughts: January Jones says it's "a little dirtier, a little grittier," while Vincent Kartheiser offers, "It's like that show Mad Men, but even better." We'll take that.
Even ad guys need a marketing push now and then so here's to the Season 3 promotional imagery -- that's key art, in industry slang -- which starts appearing today on bus shelters, billboards and magazines near you. Check out the accompanying video for a behind-the-scenes look at how the campaign came to be and how the artwork was created to accompany it.

Now that Season 2 is over, we know a bit more about Don Draper than we did at the beginning. But who is the man who brings Draper to life? Is he anything like the character? Watch the video to find out what the rest of the cast thinks.
