Mad Men

----------MAD MEN---------

I've begun to watch the show "Mad Men" from Netflix. I have to laugh because I'm becoming very partial to the styles of the 60s. The straight leg pants, the hair styles. They will all be back sooner or later.

The mannerisms of the women of the 60s is incredible. The way they made sure their husband had dinner on the table as they walked into the door is a thing of the past these days. Also, the drinking of liquor and booze at the workplace! I keep laughing at the way they just sit and drink during their break as well as the women smoking and typing at the same time.

Another social aspect of this time was the smoking. Smoking EVERYWHERE! In the car, restaraunts, workplace, home, in bed, etc. I keep laughing joking around how I feel pressured to smoke when I'm watching the show. Hehe.

A few situations that I do NOT like about this show is how often the husband and wives are cheating on eachother. It's insane how this was accepted during this time. It happened and nothing was said about it. Many women knew and they didn't say a word because they didn't want to be divorced or alone with their children. It must have been very hard to play "pretend" and to move on with daily life.

I'm on Season 2 right now and I can tell times are changing. JFK is the President right now and the hairstyles are beginning to change.
