Mad Men’s Kiernan Shikpka Plays Child Therapist

Kiernan Shikpka’s character, Sally Draper, on Mad Men was sent to see a child psychologist because her mother disapproved of her behaviour. During the actress’ time off from filming one of the best shows on TV, Shipka filmed this video, in which she helps delusional child stars with their personal issues. 

She nails all the quirks and body language of a stereotypical therapist, and her wardrobe embodies the same level of sophistication that inspired a partnership between Mad Men and Banana Republic. Watch out, Christina Hendricks and January Jones!

It seems that she’s on her way to becoming the next Dakota Fanning – featured in fashion magazines such as ELLE and the like, but if all else fails, perhaps she could host her own self-help or talk show.

When season five of Mad Men premieres on March 16, 2012, we can find out how Sally will react to Don’s engagement.

In the meantime, feel free to ‘Mad Men Yourself’.

Is the iWood Laptop Wish List Worthy?

Now that Thanksgiving is over and Halloween costumes have (hopefully) already been picked out, it’s time to go shopping for gifts for the holiday season before the malls hit maximum capacity. 

For the youngsters on your list, you may want to consider buying an iWood laptop. Well, ‘laptop’ may not accurately reflect its true product description, but it sure looks like one. In the place of an LCD screen is a chalkboard and instead of a trackpad in the ‘keyboard’ area, there is a compartment to store pieces of chalk.

Chalkboards can offer a nice, creative aesthetic when aiming for laid back, eclectic or unique decor, so it only makes sense to let kids partake in the fun. Eight years old may be too young to appreciate owning an iPad, but for less than $60, the iWood laptop makes a great gift idea!

Music Video: Coldplay – Paradise

Coldplay – Paradise

Coldplay debuted their new music video for Paradise today and it’s wonderful from beginning to end. Watch it, play it in the background as you download the song on iTunes, and then play it on loop on your iPod, I dare you.

I’ll be keeping an eye open for information about an upcoming tour from the group because I loved their last show!
