Hello Gorgeous! It's Mad Men

Some of us have always been fiends for Mid-Century style and design, while others have recently discovered that particular brand of ooh la la courtesy of Mad Men.

For those of you who are still wondering what the hype is all about, you can watch the first episode of AMC's cult series here . If you're looking for a primer on the ads created by the real Mad Men during that era, you might want to track down a copy of Hello Gorgeous! Beauty Products in America '40s-'60s by our own style siren Rachel Weingarten.

It's Chic To Be The Queen

If 40 is the new 30, then 81 is the new fabulous- at least in Britain where Vogue magazine declared Queen Elizabeth one of the world's most glamorous women.

Britain's oldest ever reigning monarch, has been declared by Vogue to be "as glamorous in her brogues and headscarf at (her country estate) Balmoral as she is wearing the crown jewels."

Glamour, the magazine declared, is "about how you wear something, not about what you wear. You cannot buy glamour and you can't fake it." Though at Airkisses we firmly believe that you probably have a better chance of faking it if like her majesty- you also happen to be one of the world's richest women...

Our own Rachel Weingarten interviewed various minions at Buckingham Palace when she was writing her book Hello Gorgeous! Beauty Products in America '40s-'60s. When asked about the queen's beauty routine, Rachel was told that there is so much that is known about the queen and that like any woman, the queen prefers to keep some things very private indeed.
