Jake Rudh and Jessa Alt cover City Pages, "Mad Men" style

The cover and spread for this year City Pages' Best of the Twin Cities issue is Mad Men-fabulous. This year's cover models, mid-century modern fans DJ Jake Rudh and Jessa Alt, look simply stunning in their late '50s/early '60s styling in this spread shot by Emily Utne. Though I have to say, City Pages sort of stole l'etoile's idea to use the two as models in mid-century styling - we did the same thing for our Jubilee holiday party promo images last year. But ain't they adorable?








City Pages also has a fun little outtake slideshow of the duo. Here are a few:

My night with a Mad Man

You may have heard that I met Mad Men's Pete Campbell, Vincent Kartheiser, at Clubhouse Jager last Tuesday with my l'etoile and LOL/OMG! cohort Kate Iverson. I did a blog on it for LOL/OMG! with photos, which got reblogged by The Washington Post, Jezebel.com, and Joss Whedon fan blog Whedonesque. I'm a HUGE fan of Mad Men, which is why it was particularly exciting to be the one who spotted him.

I also did a writeup on it for Star Tribune:

Bad Betty!

Mad Men and its retro style seems to have a heavy influence in design these days, and we particularly love to see it interpreted in lingerie. January Jones, who plays the housewife Betty Draper in the series, is seen here modeling for GQ magazine.
She's mostly wearing Dolce & Gabbana lingerie and Kiki de Montparnasse in this shoot. It's actually not our very favorite GQ spread, but we certainly do like it. Maybe it's because we have never watched Mad Men...are we really missing out?
