Pointed out on another forum: the same person has been the costume designer for both Mad Men and Deadwood. Jesus, what an eye!
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but is she really petty enough to confess deliberately
I thought so. A deliberately malicious act by her sister. Petty and resentful. Or maybe not so petty if she's raising Peggy's daughter, but definitely mean and resentful.
They're getting pretty close to making Betty completely unlikeable. I wonder how they'll deal with that by season's end. Or if they will.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
daughter
I thought she'd had a boy for some reason. Huh.
I was impressed that they managed to find a priest who looked exactly like VK for Peggy to bond with.

What I love about this show is that it doesn't make excuses for its characters' present based on their past. We may get an explanation for why Betty is the way she is, but we won't be expected to like her any more for it.

I suspect Betty's headed for a complete crack. I just keep getting the sense that she's hanging on by the merest thread, judging by her reaction to the guy coming on to her in the barn last week.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I keep waiting for Betty to start in with the "mother's little helpers" that the Rolling Stones sang about years ago. Wasn't it around '62?

Oops - you might be right. That was a little boy the priest pointed at.

More like '65-'66. But diet pills and tranqs were already being widely distributed by the early sixties.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thalidomide was first prescribed in the late '50s. And while it isn't quite the same thing, sociologists had noticed by the mid-'50s that a lot of middle class women were bored with life as homemakers, and would treat with large amounts of alcohol (among other remedies).

A lot of it had to do, IIRC, with the sense of independence that women had fostered throughout WWII, making up the workforce and having to keep households afloat while the men were overseas. A lot of women who had come of age during that time period had seen possibilities where before there had been none.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, Peggy's sister confessed to the young priest because she knew that it was him - she just wanted to make things more difficult for Peggy because she thinks Peggy has it too easy.
And Colin Hanks and Vincent Kartheiser resemble each other amazingly well: when I saw the preview last week I thought that they were going to be playing brothers. (Although, we've already met Pete's brother and he's completely different from CH.)
