Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks Is Mad Hot

We were going to wait a couple of weeks to talk about Mad Men so that we could give the late-pass holders a chance to watch when the second season starts on July 27th, but the Emmy Award nominations were announced this morning. This is history, people: Mad Men is the first basic cable show (along with fellow nominee Damages) to to snatch a Best Series nomination.

And while we could go on and on about the stellar writing and the crack ensemble cast, we’re not Roger Ebert'no, we’re Ayo! Scott and Stephen Hold ‘Em'so instead we’re gonna big up actress Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan on the show. She does some truly sublime things with a 1960s-era zeppelin-shaped bra, and we just had to share them. After the jump, see more of Christina to understand why we’re really giving Mad Men the thumbs up.
