Is Megan from Mad Men Doomed? [spoiler alert]

If you're a fan of Mad Men, you'll definitely want to read the following conspiracy theories on Megan Draper's outfit last Sunday night.  And they're just that - theories.  Of course, the coincidences are right here, and there's no denying this could mean something big, especially since the series ends next year.  Also, don't forget Stonewall happened in 1969...  definitely something to make you go "hmmm...  "

Thank you, James St. James over at WOW for sharing this amazing piece.  I couldn't have said it better myself. 

On Sunday night’s episode of Mad Men,  Megan Draper wore what seemed like a weirdly anachronistic T-shirt with a red star on it. Not her usual style, and more ’80s than ’60s. But apparently the red star T-shirt was identical to one that Sharon Tate wore in an infamous 1967 Esquire photograph taken by William Helburn (pictured left). Helburn’s daughter tweeted Mad Men’s head costume designer, Janie Bryant, asking, “Dying to know if this pic of Sharon Tate inspired Megan’s look? My dad shot it for @esquiremag in ‘67. ” Bryant confirmed: “No coincidence! So nice to tweet meet you.” Since the exchange, an entire Reddit thread has formed, speculating about the symbolism of the shirt and any foreshadowing it could have for Jessica Paré’s character. According to Vanity Fair: “Like fictional Megan, Sharon Tate was an up-and-coming television actress in the 1960s. While married to Roman Polanski and eight-and-a-half-months pregnant with his child, Tate was murdered in her home by Charles Manson followers. Earlier this season, Megan admitted that she had suffered a miscarriage. While wearing the T-shirt in last Sunday’s episode, Megan is standing on the balcony outside her and Don’s Manhattan apartment while ambulance sirens ring out below — a nod to the city’s increased crime rates, which are acknowledged many times throughout the episode.” All of which could spell DOOM for poor Megan. Jezebel‘s Tracy Egan Morrissey has another theory, though: “While costume design on Mad Men has been as deliberate and layered as the writing on the show, the red star could also be a red herring. After all, Tate wasn’t murdered until 1969, but something else happened to her 1968 — she got pregnant just as her acting career was taking off.”

Bad Lip Reading: The Walking Dead

I usually don't post these videos online, but I was finally dragged into it.  By THE WALKING DEAD!

LMAO.  Sorry, but since I'm a huge fan of the show, I had to post this absolutely hilarious bad lip reading of The Walking (And Talking) Dead.  

The voices are dead on perfect too!

Sing with me now, La Ba Bi Di Da Dum La Ba Bi Di Da Do.
 

The Walking Dead/Toy Story Conspiracy

Remember the Zombie Story I posted last month?  Well, here's further proof that The Walking Dead has more in common with the Toy Story franchise than you might have thought.  This will finally put all those conspiracy theories to rest.

The Walking Dead meets Toy Story in this re-imagining of the opening sequence to the popular AMC television series.

The Mad Men Barbies

I'm a huge Mad Men fan, and these barbies are just my favorite!!!  Apart from the Lady Gaga barbies that came out a few years ago, these dolls are remarkably "spot-on" re-incarnations of their characters of the hit AMC show.









You have Fat Betty (who came out 50 lbs. heavier than in previous seasons), with her can of whipped cream that she devoured in an earlier episode.  You have Megan Draper in her "Zou Bisou Bisou" dress she wore for Don's birthday surprise.  Next, you have Roger Sterling holding his bastard son, and my favorite one of all, Joan Harris wearing the “emerald necklace of shame" a she pushes her baby carriage.
