The stylish secretary speaks

One of the best shows on television is coming back for its third season this month and many in its cult following, including myself, are anxiously awaiting the return of hero ad man Don Draper.

Mad Men, the freakishly stylish drama about ad executives working on Madison Avenue in the 1960’s – a time when newsprint was king and television was still finding its place - returns to AMC on August 23. I think it will be just in time for True Blood to end its second season on HBO.

I was reading an interview forwarded to me from a good friend of mine on Twitter, between a writer for Esquire magazine and Christina Hendricks, the 34-year-old actress who plays seductive office secretary Joan Halloway on the show, and she said she and her husband watch the show and then have sex at the end of each episode.

My girlfriend and I don’t read articles that I have written that day and then retreat to the sheets. Perhaps I need to sell ads again. Maybe it’s because I’m just not as sexy as Christina Hendricks.
