Me on Mad Men

July 28th, 2009

You know by now that I’m totally and utterly obsessed with Mad Men, and my current style philosophy is “What Would Joan Wear?”. So imagine my glee when I discovered that as part of the build-up to series three they’ve created a little Flash game where you can create yourself an avatar in their style. That’s a fun way to spend five minutes. Now let’s see your pics in the comments please.

Mad Men-inspired hair

November 9th, 2008

Jo went to a ‘Mad Men‘ election party last night and I was privileged to do her hair and make-up. She wanted a Joan Holloway look, so I searched youtube for how to do foxy ’60s.

There wasn’t a lot on youtube, and as usual the best advice is on pursey.

So I went with an up front pouf (here’s my vid on how-to) and chignon at the back (here’s my vid on how-to). Hope you liked it Jo!

And I found these interesting videos on an official Mad Men site about the hair and make-up on the show.
