MAD MEN Back: Season Five

Everyone is back, including Christina Hendricks, on AMC's Mad Men.

Christina Hendricks: the chick that mostly everyone loves to hate; except that she portrays a truthfulness that most people will never admit in public but inherently know: zaftig and voluptuous women are loved and admired. Red haired, 5'8", 150 lbs +. Check. [Green dress above.]

In essence, despite decades of bullshit fashion magazines and brainwashing: real women actually do have curves and extra padding.

And curves and extra padding are way cool. Something more to hang onto in tenuous times.

Women: no matter what so-called "popular culture" portrays, actual men want actual women with curves -- not Dachau survivors subsisting on 40 grams of gruel a day and less than a pint of water. Read into that as you will. Comment forum provided.

Real Men know that Real Women aren't perfect. Because neither are Real Men.

Real Men don't want "perfection." They just want Real Women.

Not women with Angelie Jolie fake inflatable lips, or Beshine/MayaHills breasts.

Real, actual women.

If you haven't, check out AMC's Mad Men. Racist, sexist, quirky, confusing, eminently satisfying and entertaining when glimpsed in the "then-day" environment in which it is fashioned.

It's fascinating if for no other reason than a contrast of the promulgated "then" and "now."

My, how we have changed.

Some, for good.

More than "some," I think, for bad.

P.S.
I first encountered Christina Hendricks on one of my all-time highest rated (but shortest-lived) sci-fi TV series ever: "Firefly" -- as the character "Saffron." See below photo.
