Yup!

I've got lipstick on my collar, a martini stain on my tie -- and my hair is all Bryl-Creemed into a glossy, flat mat -- the Dracula look as some might say. Perfect for Halloween.

My shirt is minus one cuff-link, which someone dressed as Rachel will supply a replacement for. Oh, I will also be holding a rounded cocktail glass in my hand and puffing on a whole wad of Luckies at once. I'll look like a steam train heading through the night.

I will be mildly mellow from the alcohol previously consumed during the day and at home before dinner. Oh, and that one shot 'for the road' before heading out to 'Candyland' will steady my nerves for the door-to-door 'cold calls'.

I was going to dress up as Roger and sport a shirt, tie, shoes and pants with martini/oyster barf on it; but my wife vehemently protested. She also didn't like the white Mohawk wig I was going to wear.

While I'm out trick-or-treating, if I encounter anybody dressed as Pete Campbell, I'm going to tie their shoes together while they're distracted by my inflatable Betty doll wife.

And speaking of Pete: I'm also carrying a box of pictures that was addressed to him, but was inadvertently delivered to my desk. It shows compromising pictures of Trudy with her ex-boyfriend editor. I will trade these for candy bars along the way. But, that's only because Bert Cooper would say, "Who Cares," if I showed them to him.

I could also go naked and back through people's doors disguised as a "Parker House" roll. But that might get me arrested. And it would not fit the spirit of Mad Men -- at this point at least.

P.S.

All you ladies thinking of dressing up as Rachel:
Don't forget the sideburns.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...wryter1, you are one funny guy. And be kind to poor Rachel! She can't help it if she has a hormone imbalance. Her dad always did want a son.

Wryter.Don't forget the colortini,thats a must.Hey i like Rachel ,thats my girl....

Rachel's dad must be pleased that he came so close.

Christopher

Was the 'colortini' early or later Tom Snyder? I'd like to be historically accurate.

Everybody

Now, if I were to go as Ken Cosgrove, I'd have to do a little Rogaine on my hair. But, I'd complete the disguise with a little black book and a bag of Utz potato chips. Of course, I'd drive between houses in my Corvette.

Wryter, if you do go as Ken, don't forget your many Xerox'd copies of your "published-story-in-the-Atlantic-Monthly" to force on everyone you see!

I'll be dressing as Joan for Halloween this year: red dress & "valentine heart", completed w/major attitude that only Joan can pull off. (If you're gonna to be Joan, the attitude is a must.) Boy is my husband in for a treat this year. LOL

Wryter i think it was later in the years he used that phrase.

Halloween isn't needed. I'm Betty some days and Joan on other days. Once in awhile I'm Rachel.
All my clothes are 50's and 60's...

Hi Sybil!

Welcome aboard. Welcome aboard. Welcome aboard. Can I get you ladies something to drink?

How 'bout a Harvey Wallbanger?

They'd have to be Xeroxed copies. Paul ripped the story out of all the magazines he could find.

I'll be putting my hair in a ponytail, putting on my one shade of lipstick and hiding my legs as Peggy. I will be skinny when I start trick or treating and then become very fat before I get home - nine months later. I will have eaten all my candybars and blame it on the food cart at the office. I will be pushed aside and forced to stand in the back by every male trick or treater at the door. I'll make fun of other females dressed up as secretaries and make them cry along the way. I'll blame one of the Mom's for stealing my "Mad Candy" and get her fired from the PTA. I'll spend the next day crying about it.

This would be a terrific theme Halloween party!
Martinis, Dubonnets with twists, chips and dip bowls.
Oysters Rockefeller, Coquille St. Jacque; all that food we aren't suppose to eat now.
Twisting to Chubby and playing Charades.

Boop,see this is what I mean,those days are gone,when you could do what the f---k you wanted to ..eat and drink what you wanted to,and smoke what the f---k you wanted to and WHO you wanted to.And at the same time the work was getting done and America was prosperous!!!!

I would go as Peggy who is dressed a Cleopathra. Why you ask, 'cause Cleo was Queen of Da Nile. Old joke, but it might have been fresh in the 60s. Or was it later than that?

Wryter1, that damn jealous Paul!!! I bet he bought up every copy he saw, too, and had a bonfire! And the ones he missed, Pete got hold of and did the same. Jealous assh***s!
