THERE'S A CERTAIN LATFH QUALITY TO THE TAKERS OF THE OFFER TO "MAD MEN YOURSELF."
Hey, I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying. I'm up there myself, second row to the right, with the stars dancing around my head. Better than in my eyes I suppose. I just Blingeed up my avatar to stand out from the crowd.
A couple things I've deduced from a not-so-quick crawl of the web for MM avatars?
On the whole, the show's fans are white, wear glasses, are proud of their geek quality. And some even seem proud of smoking!
But my best guess is that they all are romantics at heart, yearning for a time they never knew and would turn their backs on if they lived it.
Just like it does to Peggy and Don, Betty and Roger, that would make them "mad."

Cartouche -- I'm sure that you tell AMC or Dyna_Moe that you want sheets they'll arrange it in a snap! What a great idea, by the way.
VR -- What can I say other than 'hipster.'
Umbrellakinesis - LOVE THE HAT!' And yes, I was shouting.
Here's my secret Ghost Writer: I don't even have cable! Tho I just learned that you can watch the season's episodes of MadMen on line!
I'm not surprised that the audience is mostly white, etc. I got comments about that about when I blogged about feeling like I'd been Peggy Olson.
In my pic, I have a glass of Scotch in my hand, a Salem in my mouth, and a woman with a bra that looks like two ice cream cones on my arm. Don't I qualify?
And the term "hipster" is so subjective, historic and ambiguous at times, it's hard to understand what "is" and what "isn't." In places like the town where I live, the term is applied to everyone who didn't step out of the snooze-inducing, all-powerful cookie cutter.
The glasses are probably something people wouldn't add to an imaginary self, and that's a very funny observation, but the Mad Men me can do all sorts of things I wouldn't do in real life, smoke 2 packs a day, and drown in cocktails - so why shouldn't she be pictured doing so?

It's where cougars and younger men can meet(Cougar is the slang for woman who is mature, experienced and want to date with a younger man).1
Am I the invisible Mad Men Sista-gurl Avatar? ;-)
But no, I'm a black fan of the show with no nostalgia for the time, but with an enjoyment of television that engages my brain.
