The Mad Women of Holloway-Cooper

Bored Maddicts? Longing to re-enter the world of Don Draper and his happy-go-lucky colleagues at Sterling-Cooper? Starting to develop tics and twitches as the weeks pass and still no Mad Men re-runs in sight? Well, I have an idea to help pass the time and have a little fun. We Maddicts love our fun, don't we?

Picture it, our Mad Men world turned upside down. It is the women's turn to rule and the men's turn to cry in the bathroom stalls. Sterling-Cooper is now Holloway-Cooper - a successful ad agency owned by Joan Holloway and Alice Cooper. These women have become the talk of Madison Avenue for their uncannily successful ad campaigns and their ability to keep the men in their place - beneath them in bed and under their heels at work. It is morning in Manhattan, and at H-C, the secretaries are gathered around one desk in particular attempting to console a weeping Harry. "That Lois Flanagan is the meanest woman in the world, Harry, I don't know how you work for her." said Paul.

"Uh, oh, look out, here comes Mr. Cosgrove." says Warren.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, you weren't hired to sit around and talk, you know. Now get to work." barks Ken Cosgrove, office manager and secretary to Ms. Holloway. (The office grapevine says he is having a torrid affair with one of the two agency heads, but opinion is divided as to which one.)

Lois Flanagan enters and proceeds towards her office. With a last wipe at his tears, Harry rises and as she passes him, Lois tosses him her coat and gloves. "Well, Harry, figured out what's on my schedule today?" she asks scathingly. "Yes, Ms. Flanagan." "Well, get your notebook and your chubby little self into my office and step on it. Don't forget my coffee, and it better be hot . I have a new product campaign to start today and I need my wits about me."

Ms. Flanagan is the hottest Mad Woman on Madison Avenue right now. Holloway-Cooper's profits have shot up since they hired her, and today she is to start a new campaign. What is the new product? Who will assist her with the product design and copy? Just who is who in this new mad, mad world of advertising, and what are the secrets they hide from each other? Take Sal, the head of the art department - is she really the avant-garde woman of the world she appears or is she someone else entirely? Then there is Pete - sweet, shy, boyishly handsome Pete with his "aw shucks, ma'am" manner - has he caught the eye of someone mad, bad, and dangerous to know?

C'mon, Maddicts, put your fingers on the keys and let's write us a Mad Women story that will knock the socks off Matthew Weiner or at least pass some time until the real Mad Men return.
