love the show

I'm 31 and i love this show my grandparents were adults in the same time era as the show and as i grew up with them i felt inspired to learn about this era. The show and the music makes me feel closer to them. They have both passed away some time ago but with the show i feel a short of closeness. I love the show and am glad to hear of its 16 nominations.

My fiance and I love the show. I particularly love the detail that show gives to style and fashion. Mr. Draper is so handsome! I've talked my fiance into a film noir themed wedding where the wedding party will be dressed to the 9s in retro outfits - fedoras, suits, gowns, gloves, hats all from the 40s/50s/60s. I am curious though - one thing we notice is how perfect Don Draper's hair is. I want my fiance to have the same slick look. What does he use to get that oh so sleak sexy look? I have to have my guy adopt that style! It is soooo sexy.

That's a good question. I don't know if they still make Brilcream - a little dab will do ya! LOL
VO5 used to make a grease balm in a tube. I remember my Dad borrowing my Mom's when he needed a quick slick look. My niece got married in April and had a martini hour before dinner. They had Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tony Bennett songs playing in the background. As far as outfits, I could see going with the snug fitted suits and skinny ties. Skip the hats and gloves, after five minutes everyone is uncomfortable and takes them off. The get left everywhere and anywhere. It's rather sad. :o(
