Need a vintage inspired avatar? MadMen yourself!
My husband and I have a shared Google Calendar for important dates like birthdays, our anniversary, and the premiere of MadMen 8/16. Yes, yes, the costumes are to die for. But I'm not even going to bore you with that right now. I'm even more thrilled that AMC has come up with a clever little social media scheme that has Mad Men addicts hooked. Mad Men Yourself! You can put together a dapper or styish avatar ala 1960, complete with cigarette and martini accessories. It's like a Mii, but cooler. You can even pick your scene - at the bar with Don Draper, at Sterling Cooper, being catty with the secretaries.
You can then save your MadMen creation for Twitter, Facebook, your iPhone and as desktop wallpaper. This has to be the best use of social media yet.
But before you race over there to create your MadMen character, I have to warn you that the body shapes aren't very varied. You're going to appear much curvier than real life. At least we can all look like Joan Holloway this time around!
Got to the AMC website to create your MadMen avatar! Post a link here and we'll have a cocktail party.

thanks for the tip Kerrie! I spent a few good hours playing with this. I loved all of the art work. What talent! Wonder if I can afford her?!
