This is an early sneak preview of my MAD DOLLS feature for the upcoming March/April 2010 issue of Haute Doll Magazine (www.hautedoll.com) featuring fashions by Natalia Sheppard, Diorama and miniature furniture by Carolyn Allen, and Barbie repaints by Vin Trapani. This is a vintage painted-hair Ken head on a VOLKS articulated body wearing the vintage Ken fashion Saturday Date by Mattel. (Keywords: Mad Men Madmen Ken doll Jon Hamm Don Draper)

To promote the third season of Mad Men in New Zealand, the communications agency DraftFCB put together Don Draper dolls to send to the media there. While you can't own one, and they don't really look like Jon Hamm, whose face is much craggier and more masculine, with a stronger jawline and a much less button-y nose (we can't even imagine how smooth this doll's "smooth area" must be!), you can admire the idea and the craftsmanship. A representative from the agency told the Mad Men uber fansite Basket of Kisses how they put the doll together:

"His suit is hand-stitched from real cloth, we designed and built a wood-paneled box for him to sit in. They were prohibitively expensive to make and we ran out of budget pretty quick, but totally worth it."

Note that the packaging is even cuter than the doll: "Collect all four mistresses!"

Looks like they used a young Prince Charming Ken doll, when I think the Brandon Routh Superman Ken would have had a better face sculpt and real hair...and they probably could have gotten some nice suits from ebay rather than having to have them all done by hand, but I guess they felt it was worth it.

Personally, I just want the box!

I just found this shot that seems to be the wonderful inspiration for Mary Ann Roy and Hilda's upcoming FDQ spread. Can't wait to see it! I'm working on my own tribute with another pair of doll and diorama artists that should come out in about six months.

My Dad and Mad Men's Jon Hamm

Just looking at this old photo of my dad which he had taken for his engagement to my mother over 45 years ago, and thought "Now who does he remind me of?" then realized it is the lead from one of my favorite shows, Jon Hamm of Mad Men (who also guested on another favorite show, 30 ROCK, this week).

When Jon is in character with slicked hair and a tie, he looks even more alike, but I couldn't find a still from the series with his character smiling and showing teeth like my dad, which I think is the essential element to connect them, though my dad's (and my) lower lip are a bit fuller than Jon's.
