Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:57:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gail http://www.superkawaiimama.com.au/2009/04/06/being-joan/comment-page-1/#comment-8154 Gail Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:18:34 +0000 http://www.superkawaiimama.com.au/?p=912#comment-8154 Yes, I love Joanie's style too! Getting hold of the appropriate clothes/accessories is not too difficult: I live in UK and some of the older haberdashers (yes, they do exist still) will sell girdles with suspenders attached. Essential wear. They often sell tan stockings for that retro feel as department stores tend only to have black. Again, for UK readers of this posting, "Joanie" dresses can be found at LK Bennett - perfect jewel colours and heels to match. (Don't forget to wear the undergarments when trying on!)Search out charity shops for the handbags and compacts to keep noses shine-free. I love this website so please keep up the good work and give us more Joan-inspired looks! Yes, I love Joanie’s style too!

I for one intend to continue dresseing the way I always do long after this show is gone. Let's all keep it up and create somepositive peer pressure for a change! Ella: I agree.

Joan Holloway makes me proud to be a woman. In this day and age of young, tacky teen celebrities, it is a joy to see an actual woman being celebrated in the media. I hope this trend continues long after Mad Men is gone from the air. Ahhh! Joan Holloway makes me proud to be a woman.

Her style and presence translates even through still image. I'm probably the worst for loving the styling of that show without ever actually watching it. I'm so ashamed. =| Amazing analysys and explanations. Her style and presence translates even through still image.

Lovelovelove the stylishness. I aspire to being DRESSED, not just thrown together, more often... as you said, "If only they would start bring back the underwear, we could start a super sexy revolution - no silicone required!" - oh yes yes please! Won't some manufacturer LISTEN for once and not try and sell us skimpy nothings that don't do what we need? Arrgh! I’m so THRILLED that we get to see Mad Men! Lovelovelove the stylishness.

I really enjoy doing all my tutorials and have plans for so many more. Enjoy the blog and stick around for more Mad Men fun to come. VV: If you do not it is possible that you will spend the rest of your days cursing its absence from your life. Okay, maybe not, but I guarantee you that even if you were blind you'd find this one a cracker. Wanderlusting: Ditto. I think a bullet bra has to go on the must have list. It will make up for any shortage in that area. Besides which, you could put out the eyes of any would be attacker at 20 paces. Kayleigh: Thank you.

I have to get my hands on this series on DVD and study every wardrobe piece in minute detail! No wonder everyone is raving about this show (apparently the story line isn't bad either ;) Thats it.
