Monday Morning Mad Men Blogging: Maidenform



The classic "I dreamed I was [blank] in my Maidenform bra" sets the theme for the episode. The opening episode roll reveals the main female characters, repressed Betty, expressed Joan, and sideways Peggy, in undergarments that look like they were designed by architects. While pitching ideas for a new Maidenform campaign, the men start assessing all the women in the office as either "Jackies" or "Marilyns" -- which leads to this week's quiz... "Which Mad Men-Era Female Icon Are You? Take the Quiz!"

Plus, a sneak peek at next week's Mad Men episode, "The Gold Violin"...


Some nice tidbits in this episode. There's apparently a bit of a heat wave, and classic cries of "close the door, you're letting the air out," echo through the ep. We even get a glimpse of one of those old window-unit air conditioners that look like the massive turbines of jet engines in the background in the scene in which cheating Don Draper is trysting with Bobbie Barrett (and emerging to be something of a misogynist).

Another episode highlight: Peggy ditches her Peter Pan collars for something more age-appropriate and looks pretty smokin'...

But I know you want to take the "Which Mad Men-Era Female Icon Are You?" Quiz....

It's a short. Two questions. It's adapted from a real psychological test called an enneagram test that uses just two questions to place you. The descriptions are legit.

Have fun! (Btw, if you're curious, I'm a Katherine. When I told my cousin she said, "I knew it!")

Here's the quiz...

What Mad Men-Era Female Icon Are You?

And now, a sneak peek at next week's Mad Men episode, "The Gold Violin"...
