Annie Leibovitz Shoots Mad Men

Today Vanity Fair put their September issue feature of Mad Men online, along with a fabulous photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz.

The shots, taken in the Bahamas, show a beach-ier side of Don and Betty, but that doesn't make them any more casual, relaxed, or less intense. I am fascinated by the sets and styling because of the way the hard, fast-paced, dramatic life of the Drapers in NYC transfers to such a calm, serene setting. I think it does a good job of encapsulating the show- a perfect, lovely exterior, but steely and cold as ice on the inside. Check it out, along with a fabulous piece by Bruce Handy, here.

As a side note, I can't wait for the Season 3 premiere on August 16! Hopefully the PGA Championship will end soon enough for me to hurry home and catch it!
