Mad Men Countdown 1: Peggy Olson (5/13/15)

Mad Men is a show know for its deliberate pacing and slow building seasons. As someone who also likes to take things slow, Emily is a big fan. She has been an avid Mad Men viewer since she first found the series, and the countdown to its finale is not going to be easy. To help distract from the fact that in just five days the last ever new Mad Men episode will air, Emily has decided to celebrate a truncated Mad Men Week, impersonating characters from the now-iconic series.

To begin, she takes on the character who has undergone the most change: Peggy Olson. Starting with her first day as a secretary at Sterling Cooper, and ending (probably, we don't know for sure) with her ascension through the ranks to a copy writer/copy chief position at one of the largest advertising agencies in the world. Two weeks ago, one of Peggy's iconic moments was her arrival at McCann-Erickson. Wearing sunglasses with a cigarette hanging from her mouth, she looks every inch the woman we were all rooting for her to become. Emily captures that same ruthless energy and I-don't-give-a-****-what-you-think-about-me attitude in her reenactment.
