#44 When A Man Loves A Woman

So Mad Men's the craze of late, (SEX YAY!) makes for some fun blogging opportunities. I'm going to have to admit, some alcohol was harmed in the making of this blog post. But it was fun! I love Mad Men. I really do.

Whilst a lot of the themes ring true for me personally, I'd have to say the character I identify with most is probably Sally Draper. Although my parents remain happily married and very devoted to one another, I empathise heavily with a sort of distance from my father (he being a massive workaholic) and at the same time, sharing a close bond with him. I understood from a young age that whenever we had to go to one of Dad's business dinners or parties that I had to look nice, be charming and be well behaved. Every single outing, just before we left the car or entered the venue, my father would squeeze my hand and murmur, "Best behaviour". I remember being proud and looking to my dad for his approval when someone mentioned how smart I was, or how cute I looked or how funny my naivety was. Whilst this all probably sounds fucking BIZARRE (and like I have some serious daddy issues - I promise I don't), it's some of the fondest memories I have of him.

So with Mad Men as a basis and within the scope of that period, onto bloggage - some amazing releases have come out of the latest COLLABOR88, including this incredible build from TROMPE LOEIL. Naturally we've allowed that to influence our homage to the swingin' sixties. Love the decor, love the fashion, love the alcohol and love those bunnies - Enjoy!
