Did you know you can make yourself into a Mad Men character? The Dixon Chick did and has the result posted as her Facebook photo, she was the one who told me about this website: http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/madmenyourself/.
You pick out your sex, skin colour, body type, shape of your head (?!), hair colour, whether or not you want a swanky hat, hairstyle (gee, only one available with super straight hair like mine? there's a surprise!), eyes (with or without glasses), eyebrows, the shape of your nose (this was the hardest, I found!), your mouth (with or without cigarette), the colour and style of your clothes (I picked an outfit similar to one I actually own! who knew capri pants have been around that long?) and your "extras" - which in my case, consisted of a necklace and a martini! Last but not least, you pick a scene - whether you are standing in a kitchen, at the Sterling Cooper office, in the boudoir, etc.

Here's the result: me dressed casually, having a drink with a handsome dude in a bar. Whaaatt??? Nope, that so didn't work. So I switched the scene to a more appropriate picnic setting:

and then went back to change my look for my date with Mr. Gorgeous (a.k.a. Don Draper, in my dreams!) - much better result!

Then, just for fun, I went back one more time and did myself up as the guy! Yes, I resisted the urge to choose the pirate eye patch (yes, Rachel, you know you'll want to pick that one!) and went with the more conservative, office look - with a pipe, just to be cool.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1kTaarhbFeQWY1G6oaIW0VjELR0XNXw7kZR_gx-FeAba6j-4QxaXv6Ka19rY0XFAsdciShGjuMMysl7wWd-CWXuFued66yGFNcLQigxPkCY3shbOByaLUZ9VhLZCkcYzDjsEsLD9-qbuu/s200/madmen_dude.jpg)

Isn't it time you Mad Menned yourself??
