With Mad Men‘s glorious and scandalous return to the air, after a long hiatus, we breathe a sigh of relief and anxiety as we enter the third episode of the season. We waited 18 months to learn whether Don had really married his secretary, whether Jody would actually carry Roger’s baby, and whether the agency Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Price would truly live to battle for another season. They also had to spend 18 months wondering how Betty would continue to ruin her family life and who would cheat on who next. But it’s really all a matter of keeping up appearances.

EEK! The season five premiere of Mad Men is only six days away, and we are DYING to know what’s been happening with Don, Roger and the entire Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce crew.

For his jewelry line, Aaron Saucier has created tie clips, cuff links and necklaces featuring the iconic image of a tumbling Don Draper, all crafted from gold, silver and brass. It’s a 1960s pop art bling bling dream!

Maybe he’s just beating a dead horse, but Ben Malka, the newest chairman and CEO of Halston, is determined to revive the iconic brand. Malka has shaken up the way Halston runs by moving the studios to Los Angeles where they will focus on the Heritage line left so carelessly behind by Sarah Jessica Parker, with plans to relaunch the Halston runway line next year. And unlike the past, money will cease to be an issue. According to Malka, “We are very well-funded, so I don’t have to worry about that. The money was put in by myself and my partners in a big way…The amount is enough for us to screw up for a long time.”

The beehive - just about as much fun you can have with a hairstyle since the days of Marie Antoinette. From the women of Mad Men to the late, great Amy Winehouse, this up-do is certainly a tall order… and we could never get enough. Today’s extreme beauty is a tribute to those larger-than-life beehives – the square, the braided, the striped and everything in between.
