<p>That’ll teach the Brits not to leave Rogers’ name off the organizational chart.</p>
<p>Nothing runs over feet like a Deere?</p>
<p>It was ridiculous but a great scene.</p>
<p>This latest Mad Men episode had more than a touch of “Breaking Bad” about it - a sudden, shocking and darkly funny turn of events. Classic. </p>
<p>I want more Roger. And I want Mona back.</p>
<p>I agree that it was one of the best episodes. I love this show because everyone is so flawed. I love the way they have shifted how you view Don and Betty based on the relationship with Sally this year. I was explaining to my D during a recent episode that Betty’s lack of emotional involvement with her children was very typical of the 60s. It reminds me of a childhood where my parents’ social life did not consist of attending their children’s activities, but revolved around getting babysitters and going out for adult company. Of course, we had after school activities, but not regularly scheduled things around dinner/early evening or on the weekends.</p>
<p>I was WAITING for Barbie to make her appearance on this show. When I saw the size and shape of the present, I started screaming ITS A BARBIE, ITS BARBIE—open, open open!
H was baffled…“how DID you know that”!!!</p>
<p>We girls…we just KNOW.</p>
<p>Actually, it kinda looked like Midge. ;)</p>
<p>And tonight is The Big Bang! I usually split my gut laughing so hard.</p>
<p>“Actually, it kinda looked like Midge.”</p>
<p>well, that might explain some of her fear and loathing!
I don’t mean to split hairs…
But it was, in point of fact, a classic '64 “bubble-cut” with standard issue red bathing suit.
Barbie and I go WAY back.</p>
<p>musicamusica,
Same kind of reaction at my house - when Betty handed Sally the package, I said “she’s giving Sally a Barbie” and D asked me how do you know? Never considered the possibility of Midge. Didn’t she come along later that year? I think I got Midge for Christmas in 2nd grade which would have been 1964.</p>
<p>YES…Barbie got her “not so pretty” friend Midge and annoying sister Skipper in '64. I think Midges gay boyfriend Alan came along that year as well. I believe I will pitch a new show to AMC based on these relationships! Hot stuff.</p>
<p>Great episode!! </p>
<p>Looks like it was a 1962 Barbie: [1962</a> Barbie (Swimsuit) | BarbieMedia.com - The Best Doll Ever |](<a href=“Barbie”>Barbie)</p>
<p>GREAT LINK! Check out her Careers. I forgot that Barbie was already an astronaut in '65!
I got this Barbie in '64 after my dumb brother broke the neck of my original (1960?) pony tailed model with the black and white striped bathing suit. In '61 my mom got me the American Airlines stewardess uniform----it looked almost exactly like the one my Mom had in '53 which had been designed by Christian Dior.
The art direction and costuming on Mad Men is MOST EXCELLENT and I look forward to this sort of flashback every week.</p>
<p>Just had to bump this up! I am a couple weeks behind watching Project, but just got a call from my D who is in San Diego at a conference - D is a PR watcher - she just met Gordana in her boutique in San Diego!!! D must have said “OMG” a thousand times on the phone! D had no idea, just walked into the boutique cause it looked cute and bam! there was Gordana! (she is the older contestant this season with the heavy accent)</p>
<p>I loved her dress on the last episode. Won’t say what I though of the results if you are running behind.</p>
<p>I thought this was going to be a Mad Men post when it bumped up today. What a great season finale! So glad Joan’s back - now if they could only rehire Sal! Can’t wait until the new season starts next summer.</p>
<p>As for Project Runway, I also loved Gordana’s dress last week. She has always been a favorite of mine because I like her simpler designs - very classic and understated.</p>
<p>I also like Irina’s designs but she’s such a b**ch! I’m afraid she might win, though - Heidi seems to really love her.</p>
<p>Most promising season ending EVER and I can not wait for Mad Men next year.</p>
<p>I wish the clothes on Runway were half as good as the costumer uses on Mad Men. I just think this is the weakest pool of talent ever on Project Runway. I think their reorganization and switch to Lifetime from Bravo (with all the legal knots to be untied)distracted the producers last year and it shows in the finished product.</p>
<p>Is ok, I"m behind but when I looked her up on the website to see if it showed a shop in San Diego I saw the results. 
:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree and hope she has a great career. A few episodes ago when she made that grey jacket that the judges trashed as being incredibly sad or the like - I would totally wear that jacket to work! Real women have real jobs and most of us would buy her designs over any of the others.</p>
<p>I agree that this season’s PR designers don’t seem to have the imagination and talent that was seen in previous years. A lot less drama too.</p>
<p>It irritated me that they voted Gordana out even though they loved her dress and said they were very disapointed in the other girl. If they are going to base it on the previous body of work then why make them go through making the final garment?</p>
<p>I agree, Irina is obnoxious. Talented, but obnoxious.</p>
