Was it? I thought he was somewhere like San Diego—I could've sworn I saw military ships in the background and sailors.

Yeah, that's what I saw.

There were a few things I thought were too on the mark -- that girl's name was Joy? Also, the one guy was like, "Oh, I'm gay. Therefore, I will be your new hairdresser!" @@

"Oh, I'm gay. Therefore, I will be your new hairdresser!"

"Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance."

Though in fairness to arty German bohemians, Astrid Kirchherr wasn't a professional hairdresser, but she gave the Beatles their distinctive haircuts.

Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.

I totally thought about her and Klaus while he was on, Hec. I'm just glad that haircut finally went; it drove my beauty-school dropout mom insane to look at it. Every time she saw it, she thought it was supremely wrong. Even though I did think that Peggy wouldn't have hair as up to date as Joan's.

We've seen her with her hair different before. That time that she met the guys at the strip club, she had it up and it looked really nice.

Yeah, that was a good look.

Considering how obsessive Weiner is about the style details of the show, Peggy's hair was purposefully anachronistic. Joan called it out - why do you dress like a little girl. Peggy's look was from the 50s and she hadn't moved up. So the symbolic/iconic gesture of the haircut was of Peggy owning her place in the sixties, becoming a woman etc.

Y'all are right about the on the nose-ness of the Eurotrash but I thought it was just another one of those ways in which they were exhibiting the external vs. the internal. How Don must feel the life he lives in New York is so surreal and then, he's faced with utter surrealness in the form of the ET. Maybe a little 2x4 but certainly not egregious.

And Kurt having the style instincts didn't bother me so much as a stereotype since he was clearly not only an artistic type, but has a very distinct style sensibility. I mean, when he first showed up for his interview with Don, he was wearing a fisherman's sweater, and the other times we've seen him, he clearly dresses in a very different manner from most everyone else.

"Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance."

BWAH!

I think whoever Don called is going to be the same person that he was sending things to at the beginning of the season. I think it is also quite possibly the woman we saw in the car salesman flashback.

Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.

I am totally assuming that they will all turn out to be imposters, much in the same way Don is.
