If you want to make your own 1960's inspired version of yourself, visit Mad Men Yourself at amctv to make your own, free avatar. It's easy, quick, and you hear a little swinging 60's beat while you are selecting the options to make your own digital paper doll. This is for the "suits" or the "skirts" with lots of features.
I'm the bombshell in the yellow dress with white polka dots, wearing pearls, and carrying a red pocketbook! Okay, maybe not a bombshell. I love my big hair and eyeshadow. I've never made an avatar before and it was fun. Some of the accessories wouldn't load properly, such as the gloves wouldn't fit over the arms. I would've liked to change the shoes, but that wasn't an option. Gotta have lots of shoes if you're going to be a Madison Avenue Woman!
Sorry, Don, can't stop and chat- I've got the pitch for the next preview meeting!
Are you a bombshell, the girl next door, or career girl? Combination? This is only make believe.
I searched through the ads at Found in Mom's Basement to put together these collages of vintage ads from the late 1950's -mid 1960's. She posted some gorgeous fashion and cosmetic ads, as well as numerous other categories of vintage ads, but I chose the ones that makes you go, "hmmm" or laugh.
Sexist. Outrageous. Stupid. Funny. Look at the details on the Durkee French Fried Onions coupon- I never wanted to think of onions and paint/chemicals coming from the same company. I've only had these onions once or twice, what about you? Click the collages to enlarge.
Do you have a favorite of these ads?

How fun the Mad Men Avatar. I have never done such a thing? Those ads are funny, Prune Party? I had to look at that one a couple of times.
Love the ads...
LOL - love your post Gloria! I'm going to skip right over and try that out!!
I love your Avatar! My mom and brother watch Mad Men! I have watched it a couple of times! It's a great show! I love the advertising from the 50's and 60's! The America's No.1 Glamour Gal, is that turkey on her head? LOL!
How fun! I love that show so much. I'll have to make my own avatar!
Going over now to make an avatar. Thanks, Gloria, for the heads up. Linda
I haven't seen it but the avatars look fun.
Your avatar is so cute Gloria :)
Your Mad Men avatar is glamorous! That is definately one of my favorite shows of all time! The old ads are a riot. My dad has a huge collection of old National Geographic magazines dating back to the 1930s. It is so much fun to flip through them!!!
very fun thanks for sharing this post with us! I absolutely adore this show...does anyone know when it is coming back?
Thanks for sharing at the Rock N Share! I appreciate the button and I'm glad you chose to share your Mad Men avatar. I love your bombshell alter-ego and the ads...looks like fun!
Wanted to let Pride in Photos and everyone else that Mad Men is due back on tv April 7, 2013.
Wonder where the show will go with their ideas this coming season...
