Look at Mr. Toledano, all snug as a bug in a rug, in a tall stack of great photo books!

Untitled #6 brings to mind two of my favorite yesteryear fixes: Todd Haynes’ gorgeous Douglas Sirk homage, Far From Heaven, and the series that’s been the toast of basic cable for a few seasons now, Mad Men. Our circle-skirted protagonist looks like she’s hitting the road with her Samsonite in tow, and burning down the house she’s leaving behind to ensure that there’s no turning back. And who could blame her, really? Life in the bell jar sure wasn’t the fairy tale it was made out to be—just ask Betty Draper or Cathy Whitaker!
