Change a fresh white Oxford, choose your favourite cufflinks, pour a scotch, light a smoke, while pondering about how you became the most awesome creative director on the entire East Coast... how you became a Mad Man. 
This paints a picture of the amazing American show on AMC about advertising executives in the late fifties and sixties. According to the first episode, the phrase “Mad Men” was a slang term coined in the fifties for advertisers working on Madison Avenue (by advertisers working on Madison Avenue).

After the first episode I became a huge fan, I'm promoting it to everyone I know. Its audience is still relatively small, but it deserves a huge count of viewers, because it's probably the best show since The Sopranos, as it has the same creator: Matthew Weiner. Two seasons have passed by now, the third one will return this summer. An enormous campaign is coming! I'm looking forward to it and so should you, I'm telling you now so you have time to check the previous episodes by then.

The show's so stylish it almost hurts, it's oozes masculinity, gentleman manners, womanizing charm and creative superiority. The art direction is so crisp and flawlessly historical... well, almost. The drama is mature, dark and explores the times gone by. Acting is top notch, its characters intensely intriguing. John Hamm is awesome as the charismatic, square-jawed, silver-tongued Don Draper with a idyllic family, a trophy wife, countless mistresses and a job that fits him like his grey perfectly tailored suit. 
Especially for people in this field, the show unravels the very foundations and evolution of creative advertising. Very cool. Although it's set in a fictitious agency called Sterling Cooper, there's a lot of name-dropping like McCann Erickson, BBDO, Ogilvy & Mather... it's hard not to feel involved. I love it.

Amazing work of illustration. Fun to watch. Fun to make.
I just love Flight of the Conchords, they're funny as hell and if their albums look like this... they are really extra hard to resist.
These might ring a bell.

Hot. If you don't know the show, I previously mentioned it briefly in another feature... it's shallow, it's glossy, it's sooo entertaining and
you're hooked. 
The video. The cover shoot. Check it out! Of course Terry Richardson.
We love him.

Ever noticed that Chigurh the psychopath and The Comedian look alike?
I am talking about the actors Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. 
I know what you're thinking: "Yeah, two guys with a cigar and a stogie must really make 'em look like each other, huh?" Take a closer look.
Well not that close, you want to see the similarities, of course there are differences. And tell me I'm not right. I know others think so too. 
Esquire cover archive
I like GQ and Esquire covers. They're stylish and clean. But it's been only a few years that Esquire has been rolling out cleverly laid out covers. Here are some of my favourite layouts.
December '06 - George Clooney 
February '07 - Sienna Miller 
March '08 - Arnold Schwarzenegger 
March '09 - Clive Owen
They have made an cover archive, so make sure you check some of them and their stylistic evolution out: Esquire

Who said advertising wasn't creative with sex? There are no words to describe the awesome. Flashing the camera has never been so ambiguous!
