Posted on Wednesday 3 June 2009 by Hazel

Now that I am as up-to-date with Mad Men as anyone except Matthew Weiner, I can read Basket of Kisses with gay abandon. It really is a super fansite with great interviews. For example, there is this insightful one with … Continue reading →

Mad Men - "Meditations in an Emergency" (Matthew Weiner and Kater Gordon) This season ender doesn’t have the power of “The Wheel” but it does have the best scene so far when Pete confesses to Peggy that he loves her … Continue reading →

It's going to be all right, son
