"Mad Men" and Victorian Sex

Everyone has commented about how the ladies on that "Mad Men" show especially Christina Hendricks are glorious, womanly, voluptuous, curvy in all the right places, all that good stuff.  And rightfully so.  And everyone has commented on what a tall, delicious slice of meltingly hot ass Jon Hamm is.  Okay, so far so good.

Also more than just a few people have waxed nostalgic about the good ole days when women were womanly, seductive, sensual, sensuous, enjoyed being women as pretty feminine beings, and didn't screech and scream histrionics about how being a fat slut was empowering because she's a strong woman in charge of her own life.  You know, you had the Gibson Girls with Evelyn Nesbitt and Camille Clifford, to 1940s cigar girls and pinups, to sexy secretaries from the 1960s with cat-eye framed glasses.  And you also have a lot of people reminiscing about the good ole days in which men actually cared about how they presented themselves to the world, took pride in their appearance, debonair and dashing, tended meticulously to personal hygiene, dressed gentlemanly and more importantly they acted gentlemanly, and they weren't antisocial fat losers that played video games in which they r-- women and they complain about why women won't have sex with them.

But as of yet, nobody, and I mean nobody, has made the observation that Jon Hamm could be considered the modern-day Arrow Collar Man.



Come on people, I had to find out about this by looking up "Victorian clothing" in the Google?  Don't get me wrong, I love vintage clothing from the Victorian era, Edwardian era, and other olden times.  But I can't believe no one has yet bestowed upon that fine male specimen the honor of the label "Arrow Collar Man." It should have been so obvious.  I don't actually watch the show myself because from the reviews it seems that Jon Hamm's character not only has a nice ass but also is an ass, and most of the characters all around all not savory people.  But come on, the show takes place in a vintage-retro era, and the guy is gorgeous.  Look at him.



Tina Fey has noted that Jon Hamm looks like a cartoon pilot, so that's progress.  But come on.  Arrow collar man, people.  That should have been the first thing to pop up in everyone's mind.  Him and that other dude on the show that often tends to play a gigolo/man-golddigger in a lot of his roles.
