Before the Emmys that the rest of us saw on Sunday night was the Creative Arts Emmys. The big winner for hair for a series was again the hottest show on television, MAD MEN. It was for the episode "souvenir". The head hairstylist is Lucia Mace. Congratulations to Lucia and the entire team!

They all do incredible work on that show. I had always thought of women from the Mad Men era as stiff and uptight. It did not look like a lot of fun to be a women during that time to me. However, Mad Men has totally changed my point of view. I have realized through the over all creative team on this show that this time period was a very sexy time for women. Women put a lot of time and effort into their hair, clothes, and their femininity. In fact it seems to me that women were running things a lot more then in a very behind the scenes way than we are now. I think it looks like a lot of fun! Imagine being "Joan" on the show. The guys may think that they are in charge but I don't think that's entirely true.

Really the women then are just like we are today. We all can run things from behind the scenes or from right up front. Whichever way is more fun to you. We all have our own beauty, naturally, and what we don't have or what we want to improve on we can. There are a million products to help our skin, nails, hair, there are always new clothes, all of this right at our fingertips. We all can create whatever look we would like, and we can also avoid the looks that we don't want. We all have it in us to be a "Joan" or a "Peggy" and to have all the fun that we want!
