We think we may need a martini after paying for some of this stuff, but wouldn't it be nice to drink it from the comfort of our new Eames Soft Pad Chair?

So similar to yesterday's Mad Men post - I'm surprised you didn't reference it...

Dang, that sofa is hot. I've been considering the Lenox at R&B, but that may be another option to think about...

Sorry, but that phone's from the 30's - the early 50's. That phone looks like it's from Sam Spade's office rather than Dan Draper's. Early Sixties business phones were more boxy, and came in beige or black. They had little clear plastic cubes at the bottom that you could punch to access different lines.

I'm a little over the Mad Men slobberfest.

Slobberfest? Although I am an avowed slobberer, the lexi-whore in me does love finding a new word.

Love the show, love the set design and I don't care who knows it.

Thanks for the tip on the EW article!
