MANY OF YOU WILL ALREADY BE AWARE OF MY LIKING FOR THE HIT TV SERIES MAD MEN.

This Thursday night at 8.30pm Season 4 of this superb series about New York advertising in the 1960s starts showing on Foxtel’s Movie Extra here in Australia. If you enjoy subtlety, cleverness and wit don’t miss it!

Staying on the Mad Men theme a new book ‘Mad Men Unbuttoned’ is now available in Australian bookstores. It examines the source of many of the shows ideas and inspirations, including men’s, all sharp suits and skinny ties, and women’s clothing styles of the era, which are now having such a noticeable influence on contemporary designers.
