Lionsgate, Mattel, and AMC have joined forces to bring you Mad Men Barbie Dolls.

For those of you without TV’s, Mad Men is an award-winning drama set in the 1960’s about an advertising agency on Madison Avenue, and the slick, stylish, delectably lecherous men and women who work there. The attention to detail to the fashion, props, and sets in this show is truly remarkable, and now Mattel has made equally detailed, Barbified versions of Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Joan Holloway, and Betty Draper. They are available for a mere $75 at BarbieCollector.com, amctv.com and other retailers in July.

The dolls bear little resemblance to the characters (where did Joan’s curves go?), but in the retro spirit of Mad Men, it looks like the mold of the dolls closely resemble the original 60’s Barbie.

Notably absent from the dolls’ accompanying accessories are the smokes and booze. Mattel markets primarily to kids, after all.

I love HBO’s Imagine site. By providing a unique perspective and information for each piece of the narrative, HBO invites the viewers to participate in its storytelling. You’ll be able to grab each of the story from its vast universe of different stories.

HBO doesn’t only excel in its programming from comedies, dramas, to documentaries, but its way of presenting the programs in this spectacular and interesting fashion deserves recognition. I don’t mind paying the premium for this. Network TV which is already struggling should take note, which I’m sure they’re painfully doing already…

For those of you who follow “Top Chef: Las Vegas“, I’m sure it was a wonderfully delicious hour leading up to the much anticipated finale! How many of you were Bryan fans? Or perhaps you preferred the youthfulness of Michael. Whomever you rooted for, you can’t deny that this season was exceptionally exciting with the tension caused by the Voltaggio brothers!

We don’t want to ruin the conclusion for those of you who haven’t checked your Tivo yet, so instead of recapping the finale, here’s a fun look into the most famous sibling rivalries of all!

Cain and Abel, as portrayed by Marc Chagall

Michael and Fredo Coreleone

Ross and Monica Gellar

And the classic favorite…..Bart and Lisa!

Who are your favorite siblings? Whether they’re friends or foe, they definitely make for great entertainment!

Last month, when we were traveling in Asia, we suddenly found ourselves with no cash. After a bit of panic, we called American Express who provided the best service you would imagine possible. We felt like we were in an American Express commercial. I promise, I’m not getting paid by Amex to say this. I just find that excellent customer service is hard to come by nowadays.

Apart from the service, what I really appreciate about Amex is their marketing campaigns. I actually make a point of watching their commercials because they are… just really well done, almost artful, entertaining and moving even.

I just watched a new one that I wanted to share. What look like frowns on inanimate objects turn to smiles. The beauty is found in the simplicity.

This one with Diane Von Furstenberg is one of my favorite commercials of all time. The music and cinematography is wonderful. Directed by Bennett Miller, director of Capote.

And of course, featuring Rober Di Niro, directed by Martin Scorsese.

And this hilarious one with Tina Fey and Martin Scorsese.
