For those of you watching Mad Men this season, tell us: how do you feel about Bob Benson? We’re torn.
Disclaimer: We were slightly predisposed to hate him as our only familiarity with James Wolk (the actor playing Bob) comes from a past role as a preppy-jerk boyfriend type in For a Good Time Call.
This is what we know and like about BB
He is one snappy dresser. Short shorts!
He seems to truly want to help out Joan (also Pete!).
Ps. Is Bob dating Joan? We need to see some on-screen physical displays as confirmation. Beach date was not enough.
He is real life hot.
This is what we don’t trust about BB
100% Sycophant.

Bit of a liar. He told Ken his father died, but told Pete that he was recently nursed back to health! Mind. Blown. This could, however, all just be part of the sucking up.
Apparently we are not alone. Rolling Stone started a popular hashtag #WhoisBobBenson and apparently some real life humans have some popular theories about him (i.e. undercover law enforcement, a foil for Mr. Draper himself or even a love child!).
Not ones for ruining TV with conspiracy theories we just want to know if you can tolerate him or not?
To Like or Not to Like: Bob Benson
Handsome Fellas Hanging Out: Volume 3
Hey Reader.
Here's a true afternoon delight!: Jason Bateman and Will Arnett out and about in New York.
With only a week until you hermit out to watch all 15 new episodes of AD in a row, we recommend getting out and enjoying the sunshine this weekend. These two sure did, cutest couple of the long weekend.
Happy Friday!
Monday Links: Artsy Fartsy Edition
We are feeling acutely artistic this week, maybe it's because one of us is planning a baby shower and the other one is helping! Hurrah!
In the ever-evolving world of party planning, one must always choose a colour palette, dawlings! So we like this nice compact website where you can instantly create colour palettes with as many or as few hues you require. This site is also helpful if you need a little assistance with complimentary combinations. Of course, we still turn to ColourLovers for ready-made palettes.
While you're riding this colour wave, check out Amy Sia's rich and vibrant prints over at Society 6. We especially love the painterly pillow covers.
Award for most creative Dad goes to this guy. His sandwich bags are the bomb dig. This practice got us thinking about how it could be translated into a cool high school art project. And then that got us thinking about high school art projects and how they seemed inherently pointless and we were often left thinking "why are you making me do this? This isn't art!". Thank god we've thoroughly gotten over that teenage self-righteous behaviour! But seriously, why couldn't our dads do stuff like this when we were young? Surely we would be at least 70% more creative now!
Anatomy of a Hottie: Sexy Lipsync Edition
Happy Friday!
If you haven't watched the clip of John Krasinski and Jimmy Fallon soundlessly battling in a lip-sync-off, you are going to have to stop whatever you're doing and watch it now (see below). It's fantastic and we love John Krasinski more than ever.
Let's just say it wouldn't be inappropriate to call us super fans (still relatively indifferent to Jimmy however).
We are also mentally preparing for our own Lip Sync battles. Caitlin would obviously choose I Want You To Need Me by Celine Dion and Lauren's choice is clearly Radio Romance by Tiffany.
Groovingly yours,
Us
The Morning After: Met Gala 2013
Loyal readers will recall that back during Oscar blitz we had a hankering to see someone rock a jumpsuit + overskirt; foolishly we should have used better judgement and forseen it in full force at the MET Gala. The Naeem Khan ensemble we were swooning over at the time even made an appearance on Elaina Watley (girlfriend of Victor Cruz...yes, we also had to Google who that was). AND Heidi Klum wore the Marchesa dress we predicted for Sandra Bullock. Again our fashion prowess astounds!
But enough about us.
In the spirit of playing favorites, here are our top looks of the evening:

Conversely, we actaully can't even deal with:

Or with how some people we like wore some cray patterns and bizarre matching gloves we hated:
 |
 |
Naturally, we had jumpsuit envy:
 |
 |
But also jumpsuit disinterest:

 |
Some people had hair wins:
 |
 |
Others had hair loss (harhar):
Fashion faves wore graceful headgear:

 |
Katy Perry wore disgraceful headgear:

Men wore blue & it was a win all around!:

Looking at Aaron Paul
I love Aaron Paul. He is hot. He is adorable.
Enjoy these photographs as taken by Terry Richardson.
