You

Hey guys! Welcome to my fiftieth post! I'm being all pensive.
So yesterday I put up a poll on my blog’s facebook asking y’all what you wanted to see more of on here.

And it got me thinking- the most important person on this blog is actually YOU.
It’s weird to think that anyone would read the drivel I want to write about, but it seems more and more so that you actually do! Crazy!


And I don’t know much about you.. I know most of you are from the UK, use PCs and run Internet Explorer. But apart from that I am clueless!

So this is my plea to you to tell me who you are, you don’t need to include your name or anything, just tell me if you know me in the real world, or if you found me by googling ‘are Jedward gay?’ (Seriously that is one of the top things people google to get here), you can tell me you think I’m an idiot- I don’t care, just tell me what you want! I’m never quite sure what’s a hit and what’s a miss.

What do you want me to write about?
Do you like my interviews?
Do you want to know more about your faithful narrator?
What’s your favourite post I’ve ever done?
I’m willing to talk about most things. Srsly I can chat shit about all number of topics [n.b please please please don’t ask me to talk about sport.. I run out of things to say after ‘I was a sub for the third netball team at school… errr I have asthma okay I am like allergic to exercise’]

So basically GET IN TOUCH WITH ME!!! There are a number of ways you can do this:-
By liking my FACEBOOK and writing on the wall
By sending an EMAIL to longtimenodig@mail.com
Or just by commenting on this post after the jump (I don’t think a blogger account is necessary, so you can give me abuse anonymously if you so wish)
If I get any feedback whatsoever from this I will be over the moon! So get tapping away on those little keyboards my little Long Time No Diggers.

Dressing Mad Men

Series Four of Mad Men just ended and I don’t know how I’m going to cope without my Joan fix for however long it is until Series Five hits the US.

I
NEED
JOAN


Mad Men; Salute Pictures, Images and Photos

Also Betty is totally buff too, and you can’t afford not to mention AskMen.com’s most influential man of 2009- Mr Donald Draper.

(N.B If you don’t watch Mad Men- watch it. And if you already do- *high five*)

Today’s feature is going to help you lot buck up your style ideas and show you how to dress like a prissy housewife/saucepot secretary/highflying ad man/goody-two-shoes-with-a-shady-past copy writer- and all on the high street!


BETTY:
Think-
Florals
Knee length full skirts
Pastel colours

Necessary Accessories-
Pearls
Neuroticism
Cigarettes

Real-Life Examples

(admittedly these are both kind of horrible but Bets is much more of a Spring/Summer rather than Autumn/Winter kind of gal.)
