MAD about mad men

So just recently one of my besties suggested that i watch a show called mad men. She DID NOT steer me wrong, loves it. It is a sexy, witty drama filled with interesting people living in a mid-century night's dream. Mad Men is smart and tremendously attractive, and it stirs you more than it probably should (at least in my case). The clothes, cars and interior design seen on the show is equally as attractive. The 1960's fashion is so glamorous and intoxicating by capturing style and class of women such as Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.
