Ode the Mad Men

I love the series. I have Netflix and am catching up on Series 1, 2, and 3. A Treacle posted in a blog post:
Mad Men fever is sweeping the nation. Though I'm possibly the only person left in America who hasn't seen a single episode of the series, I can't help but notice the ripple effect this period drama is having on pop culture. All of a sudden, there's an upsurge in vintage and retro design...from structured, wasp-waisted dresses to gloves, pearls, and pumps.
I could not agree with her more. In fact I think someone should post a compendium of  Mad Men stocking sightings in a blog outline the episode and time stamp of the wonderful glimpses of stockings. I do not mean the "everyday" wear shots but the sleek moments of nylon goodness when a female character slides in or out of hose, a dress, or some other titillating visual moment. Such as...



or the STEWARDESS!

Jian Ghomeshi interviews Mad Men writer/co-producer (and Montréal native) Dahvi Waller

Jian Ghomeshi is one of my favourite radio interviewers on his show Q. See his interview of Billy Bob Thorton to get an idea of his style.

In in his interview of  Dahvi Waller there is a great segment about the accuracy of the lingerie in the show dealing with the girdle the stewardess was wearing in the episode when Don Draper gets close to jiggy with her before the hotel's fire alarm goes off. Her interview is the first one and should start playing when you click the link below.

Click here for interview.

Plus Dahvi Waller is Canadian and Mad Men is so hot right now. Lots of great Canadian writing talent impacts American culture.
