Mad Men Auctions on Ebay

The multiple Emmy and Golden Globe award winning drama Mad Men has teamed up with City of Hope & Ebay to auction items from past seasons. A portion of the proceeds goes to charity to fight lung cancer.


Vintage 1960's furniture from the set of Mad Men, up for auction

The ten-day charity auction will feature tons of vintage mid-century furniture and props from the show’s iconic Sterling Cooper ad agency, including a number of pieces from the offices of Don Draper and Roger Sterling.

Vintage dresses will include a dress worn by Betty Draper at the Stork Club, the green dress worn by Joan Harris in the famous lawn-mower episode, and the dress worn by Bobbie Barrett during her night on the town with Don.”

Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris


Melinda McGraw as Bobbie Barrett


The most tantalizing of the auction items is a walk-on role on the series.



Our own Hellhound Vintage model recently had the pleasure and good fortune to work on the Mad Men set in full 60’s wardrobe, hair & makeup, as a background actor in a scene set at a certain famous club in New York City circa 1965.

Rebel Grrrl

The antidote to sugary sweet teen, ym and seventeen, Sassy was the rebel girl, the queen of my world, intelligent, in a band, with rad vintage infused style, politically informed, and not taking any shit from you. My alltime favorite fashion spread was Amy Smart kickin it in Axl Rose themed white leather biker jacket, rose print biker shorts, and custom Converse. When Chloe Sevigny (Sassy intern at the time) shaved her head, I was enamored. Little did I know she (along with Rosario Dawson) was going to blow my mind in Kids a few years later in '95! ...Back in the days when i was young i'm not a kid anymore But some days i sit and wish i was a kid again
Back in the days...

Pop Culture: American Western Shirt

The American West-- the gold rush, the search for a better life, finding yourself, progression, all synonomous with the west. And one symbol of the American West fashion is definitely the western shirt. "The west is not a place. It's a state of mind," according to Jack A. Weil founder of Rockmount Western shirts. Jack just crossed over to the other side in '08 at the age of 107. Living to 107 isn't even the coolest thing about Jack. He was still working daily at Rockmount. He loved his work. Considered the worlds oldest CEO, he actually innovated the pearl snap and the western yoke. Other finishing touches beloved by western connoisseurs and created by Jack include the elusive diamond snap & sawtooth pocket. And all the hipsters rocking tiny fitting westerns? Jack again-- his slim fit styles overtook the old school boxy fits that were predominant in the 1950's and earlier. 3 generations deep, still family owned, still Denver based and "one of the last predominantly US made brands, the signature Rockmount design is considered to be the longest production style shirt in America" according to www.rockmount.com Pretty impressive from a man whose first business venture failed! Very inspiring... here's to you Jack! ~the vintage mix~

i love rockabilly girls!
