Mad Men Style Competition

[PADDY]

Jack, Marc, Michelle...

Just look like you are straight out of an episode of MadMen!! :eusa_clap Amazing!!

 

[Kadri]

Fantastic,Paddy! :eusa_clap

Everyone's done a great job.

I've seen the series on cable,but haven't payed much attention to it.
Have to change that.

Thanks guys. I should hope I own that era. I'm doing it since I was 16 years old! (But, admittedly, not so good then. You live, you learn.)

fftopic: I don't suppose you have any photos of your younger self working this look? Just curious what loungers used to get up to.

This pic is from about twenty years ago. Note the problematic hair and not quite perfect tie for the look. Check out the tapered trousers, though. You used to be able to find tailors that knew how to peg them properly back then. Now there's no one who can do it.

Before the internet, when dinosaurs roamed and I was a younger man, it was sort of difficult to put a vintage look together. There were no forums to glean information from so you just had to experiment. It did make for some awful combinations and luckily those pics are buried in a basement somewhere.


Regards,

Jack

Mad (men) dash here, but...

Here's a pic from today...(more to follow) in an hour or so.

Oh, January is just making up a few more cocktails in the kitchen, here, so she's shouting something through, just a moment ..."What's that sweetie? oh right!!"
*Sorry* about that folks, but January's just apologising for not being in the photos (something about her AMC contract), plus she's all of a flutter in the kitchen making up another Champagne cocktail for us. Hey-Ho, it's a hard life being an Irish MadMan.

CLICKABLES...

the way your shadow lands on the wall behind you is real snazzy, paddy.

 

[SuperKawaiiMama]

Jack: Nicely done!
Paddy: Oh la la! That's some swanky looking pics you've got there.

I've run into Christina Hendricks one Sunday at Cicada. Never asked her to dance though talked to her a bit. Hair was red as ever!

 

[Retrobeme]

Yeah, Paddy nice pixs, I particularly like your use of shadows in the shots.

 

[kyda]

I am looking forward to watching Mad Men, how long has it been on in America??????????

 

[Tomasso]

I love (and prefer) Paddy's look but it ain't MM.

 

[PrettySquareGal]

Oh my, this is fun. I have a couple of 60's dresses I picked up at an estate auction last summer...hmmm...

 

[donCarlos]

Well... I´ve never seen a single episode, but I´ve seen the pictures. And as my uncle learned english from songs, I learned to dress from the pictures It can´t compete with Paddy´s photos, but it certainly looks like 60´s.

 

[PADDY]

DonCarlos..what a look!!

I could just see you in the office in downtown Manhattan!!

I want to hear all about this.... We'll talk!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I want to hear all about this.... We'll talk!

Cicada was filmed as the "Stork Club" for several episodes of the show. It was also the site of last season's wrap party, which a lucky friend of mine attended ...

I have racked my brain for outfits, since I wouldn't mind channeling Joan at all! But all I have is Betty Drapers riding outfit! So far, Jack has it!

 

[cherry lips]

Droool!

I heart this era <3

 

[Quigley Brown]

I've never seen the show, but I'm assuming it early 60s style???

Here's something I've had on file:
