Harry Crane's boudoir or Harry Crane's office — same difference. (Remember the Hare Krishna bait babe?)

What should have p'd of Don more:  Megan's acting in a sex scene (for money) as if she didn't care (as a prostitute would) or acting as if she did care?

I know this is a detour from Joan Roseman's post, but I noticed: "If you don't like the message, change the conversation" is exactly what Megan did with Sylvia, when Sylvia guilted her about having contemplated having an abortion.

@rawbun: I was going to "read" you, but I see sidgirl already did it quite nicely, and you've responded. So I removed my text and gave her post a "Like".

RE: I don't know what "in a cake" is…

I was glad Megan got  the job, anyway.  I'd feared her participating in their switcheroo sex games might be a prerequisite.  On the other hand, maybe they're hoping she'll loosen up, with or without Don.

As I posted earlier somewhere in this week's blog discussion, the guys have long (even before her partnership) equated Joan's success with the "casting couch" if you will.  Remember Joey, whom Peggy fired for making the obscene drawing of Joan and Lane having oral sex and for flat-out making

Megan's soap opera co-star - with whom she shares a sex scene - is named Rod. Anyone else think that's rather on the nose?

Does Peggy's profile in the flip-the-bird frame remind anyone of the Wicked Witch of the West's profile? [I'll bet Stan made the connection.]

Gag me.  Now I can't turn off stomach-churning images of Don Draper - Kodak carousel fashion - in bell bottoms…shiny printed Italian disco shirt (https://www.google.com/sear… …platform shoes…a leisure suit…a Nehru jacket…anything polyester double-knit (which - in this story - turned up like a bad penny: http://www.nbcn

"LawnGisland"…spot on.
But "gawt"…that's Boston, home of valets who'd pahk your cah in Hahvahd Yahd and (if they're like Dick Whitman) urinate in fancy people's trunks.

Good catch! And now you've got my wheels turning: Great balls of fire, there's a whole lotta spying goin' on.

Dippity-Do and quickies-as-pick-me-ups are best applied judiciously, like Brylcreem - "A Little Dab'll Do Ya!"

And let's not forget the Joey Baird guy, described this way in Wikipedia's List of Mad Men characters:

Yeah…the weight loss isn't worth the wrinkles.

Snappy putdowns, like:
- (Don to Pete) "I live here."
- (Joan to Herb) "There's a part of your anatomy you haven't seen in years."
- (Don to Ginsberg) "I never think of you."

And I think of that song when I see ketchup.

She's heavyset, and mouthy.  But a bitch? I don't read that.
