How fucking stupid is the Oops, Peggy is Pregnant! storyline in Mad Men? So fucking stupid. I was about to write a blog post about how stupid and kind of irritating the Peggy Gets Fat storyline was, but now it has reached its logical conclusion: Of course she was actually expecting; we could have a sympathetic, non-caricature-like fat character. But anyhow, Peggy is still my favorite character because she really is the only person on the show who isn’t totally obnoxious.

I still really like the show, though. It’s good stuff. And here is some advice for when we’re all dressing like Joan Holloway this fall: Don’t be costumey and matchy matchy. I like to pair vintage dresses with a totally anachronistic shoe, as suggested at the link above, or to rock a color combination that wouldn’t have seen the light of day in 1963, or, you know, just anything, so that it looks chic and not sock hop-themed party.

And now I’m going camping! At least I have an entire box of wine.
