Peggy Olson’s Style Transformation On “Mad Men”

Peggy Olson style

Every woman who watches “Mad Men” ooohs and aaahs at Joan Holloway and her curve-hugging wardrobe of sexy yet office-appropriate dresses and pencil skirts. The only style note most make concerning Peggy Olson is that her bangs look weird. That is, until this season. Slowly but surely, Peggy has progressed from her wardrobe of frumpy frocks to a coiffed and made-up wearer of tailored plaid suits. Click through for 25 photos documenting Peggy’s transformation. They go to show that proper-fitting clothes and a little lipstick go a long way.

If Peggy Olson Vlogged

In lieu of a “Mad Men” recap—Don Draper you are making me so mad f**king that stupid teacher while Betty wallows at home!—I offer you this hilarious video from Frisky friend, Sara Benincasa. The stand-up comic, “Gossip Girl” expert, recovering agoraphobic, and all-around awesome chick has imagined what it would be like if Peggy Olson had her own vlog (i.e., video blog). This is the first of hopefully MANY more installments. [YouTube: Sara Benincasa]

Quote Of The Day: Elisabeth Moss On Playing Peggy Olson

Elisabeth Moss On Playing Peggy Olson

““I love playing Peggy [Olson]. Finding the balance between playing her, finding new things, and not losing her, and constantly finding enough new stuff to keep her remaining herself … Playing her is an exercise in remaining simple, despite the fact that she is becoming more complicated. [She’s] not out to hurt anyone, she’s just trying to figure out who she is. But it still is agenda-free. She is looking for her place in the world.”


—“Mad Men”‘s Elisabeth Moss in Venice magazine [Just Jared]

(Another) Quote Of The Day: Pete Campbell Is Kinda Deep In Real Life

pic of Vincent Kartheiser

” Is Pete in love with Peggy? How in love with her is he? Why is he in love with her? Is it really just his ego? I mean, how many times have you been in love with a woman until she loves you back? And then you realize it had nothing to do with her. Or a woman cheats on you and you hate her for decades and then you realize, it’s just my ego. I just couldn’t handle that she, like, wanted someone else—it had nothing to even do with this woman. And I think that’s the kind of grey area that these characters get to live in and that we get to portray—you say these long moments of silence.”

—Vincent Kartheiser, who plays Pete Campbell on “Mad Men,” talks to Vanity Fair, about why Pete’s got a thing for Peggy. But what we really wanted to know is where he learned to dance the Charleston.

Damn You Don Draper: Sex, Mirrors, And Mad Men

Last night’s episode of Mad Men really pissed me off. Oh, Don Draper, and your wiley, sexual ways. And damn you, Duck, for doing what you did to Chauncey! The episode was all about the two sides to women that men see and the two sides to Don that WE see. While Sterling Cooper works on putting together a new ad campaign for Playtex, centered around every woman have a Jackie (Kennedy) side and a Marilyn (Monroe) side—for the record, according to the boys, Peggy is all Gertrude Stein—Don is in way too deep with Bobbie Barrett. Don is not immune to viewing women through these two lenses as well—while he’s happy to have Bobbie as his whore on the side, when Betty buys a chic new bikini to wear at the pool, Don is quick to demean her as “desperate”. Both sides of Amelia wanted to smack the s—t out of him for that one.

Last night’s episode of Mad Men finally answered so many lingering questions about Peggy Olson and brought up ever so many more about Don Draper—namely, “Can Draper ever change?” Additionally, the parallels and the bond between Peggy and Don were illuminated, a deeper side was revealed to Bobbie Barrett, and we learned Pete’s spunk was just as potent as ever. Oh, and Peggy is our hero.
