It's one of those posts where I beg your assistance

So. Replies and such forthcoming, but first...

A day or so ago, I finished up with S2 of Mad Men--a rambly post is no doubt going to pop up at some point: OMG BEST SHOW EVER!--and I'm now catching up with S3 and all is joy and rapture.

Except that I kind of want a .gif of Betty Draper SHOOTING THE PIGEONS (I can't imagine a more perfect scene) for my journal. More technologically savvy friends of mine, does anyone know how I would go about finding such a thing? I don't even know where to look. Thanks in advance to anyone who has an idea!

Also: I don't care what the damn show is called, it's all about the women.

[ETA] May is a goddess! Hells yeah!

Every post that starts off like this makes me giggle.

I've only watched the first few eps of Mad Men, but I must get back on it! People keep saying it's awesome and I trust y'all's judgment.

Oh, you mean how it happens all the time? I do this thing where I get behind. Or I might disappear off the internet entirely for a while. And then I have to catch back up and it seems so overwhelming! And then I do it all in one sitting! I'm horrible at lj, really. But I'm glad I can make you giggle!

It really is so impressive. For one thing, it's fabulous to look at, with all the attention to 60s detail. But it also completely deconstructs that era by embracing it, which is a real accomplishment. Plus, fabulous, fabulous characters and one of the greatest casts I've ever seen. I watched the first ep and wasn't all that into it, but if you watch a couple in a row, I swear you'll get sucked in (quite like Buffy, actually).

Let me know if you watch and what you think!
