All I can say is that there are some very strange women designing clothes these days.

Can you say, "Drop dead ghastly"?; 8/31/10, 9:38 AM

Gretchen should have been the one to go, but it was obvious they kept her b/c the show has to have a villain, right?; 8/31/10, 11:27 AM

It's one thing for todays protected adolescents to buy $80 jeans with holes in them to look like street people valiantly surviving; but it is wrong on so many levels to spend big bucks for adults that want to dress up like soviet women from the 1980s. Are they looking for a Commissar to take them in?; 8/31/10, 12:36 PM
Julie C said...: Honestly that was one of the best PR episodes eveh! And Tom and Lorenzo's write up/takedown had me crying with laughter. The outfit itself was horrible - I think my mother had that blouse back in the 70s.

T&R also do a fabulous recap of Mad Men every week and very insightful reviews of Mad Men fashion.; 8/31/10, 4:25 PM
Jason (the commenter) said...: It was fun to see Gretchen destroy her career on national television. She's like an anti-muse who brings out the worst in everyone.

She's the face of her generation!; 8/31/10, 7:34 PM
