mad madison avenue


OMG-it can't be true-my favorite show of all time MAD MEN is coming to a close.
I think I took this show a lot more to heart than most - as my real life dad was a real life MAD MEN.

Dad was a super creative and bold Art Director - he resigned  from J WALTER THOMPSON and rented a brownstone across from the Morgan Library.
He invited  his account team and copywriters from JWT to join him - and AD GRAPHICS was born.
The brownstone was amazing it had a backyard where Dad had his drawing table in the during the summer - he was soooo cool.

DAD- just a boy from Queens was in Manhattan -on Madison Avenue and had a key to the Playboy Club!
It was heaven on earth.
The writers, the photographers,the art directors, and the bongo drums.
It was a perfect combo that gave our family a perfect creative life open to possiblity.

Thank you daddy for the amazing head start in life & bye,bye Don Draper - I will never forget you.
