15 Things I've Learned From Watching Mad Men

By Colette

Mad Men, the AMC series about an advertising agency in the 1960’s, is one of the hottest shows on television right now, and my personal favorite.

I watched a 13 hour marathon the other day where I didn’t move off the couch, except for bathroom breaks and take-out pizza. It’s sexy, cool, and it just makes me want to put my hair up in a bouffant, slip into a pencil skirt with a pair of stilettos, and strut around the office with a cigarette in one hand and a martini in the other. So instead of getting escorted out of my work by security, I decided to come up with a list of the things I’ve learned about life from watching Mad Men:


1. Sexual harassment?  What’s that!?

2. Being pregnant should not keep you from lighting up.

3. As your marriage declines, you will dress more fabulously.

4. Vibrating panties will make you lose weight.

5. Sleeping at the office is not only accepted, it’s expected!

6. If you have sex with too many guys, you’re “taking advantage” of your birth control, and that’s a bad thing.

7. Men don’t sleep with other men.  They just go to each other’s room to look at the “view”.

8. The washing machine is a girl’s best friend.

9. Having sex with a co-worker will make things umm…awkward.
 
10. Martinis, raw oysters, and stair-climbing do not mix.
 
11. The best way to close a deal with your client is to introduce him to your two hot “cousins”.

12. If you miss eight periods in a row – then you might be pregnant.

13. If you try to blackmail your boss, don’t expect a promotion any time soon.

14. Drinking and smoking at the office makes the work day go by faster.  Who needs coffee when you have a bottle of Glenfiddich and a pack of Old Gold cigarettes in your desk drawer!

15. If your husband stays in the city instead of coming home – HE’S CHEATING ON YOU!
