Poor Sally – “What’s Wrong With Her”?

Wow, let’s see now Betty, how about for starters you told her you would cut her fingers off?  That sounds like what they do in some other countries!!

Poor Sally, she’s so pubescent….Daddy is gone and even when he’s around, he’s screwing lots of women, and none of them are Mommy.  She is terribly jealous of him going out with these women, when now that Mommy is out of the picture, she could be “Daddy’s Girl”! Too bad Poor Sally doesn’t know it just doesn’t work that way – especially with a Daddy like Don.  She is desperately seeking some male attention and approval, so hey here’s an idea…’I’ll cut my hair while he’s out with another woman and he left me with yet another of his women. ‘  Poor Sally.  Oh boy, the fall out from that one act of misguided defiance; The babysitter gets fired – “Consider it severance” (nice Don, the kid was in the bathroom for God’s sake!!),  Poor Sally gets a strong slap across the face and like any abused child, she immediately apologizes and even makes up a lie that it was a mistake.  Don get yelled at and so he yells back, Henry tries to intervene and guess what??? It worked!!!!! Sally got everybody’s attention and again,  in true fashion of the day, rather than being recognized as a symptom/victim of the massive dysfunction going on, she must be the problem and we must fix her!! Poor Sally!

With the onset of puberty comes SO MANY new feelings and Poor Sally – as she tentatively begins to explore her own sexuality…Whamo!! In comes YET ANOTHER UNENLIGHTENED  MOTHER of the ages and Sally is sent home chastised and disgraced.

When Betty is confronted with the news that her daughter was masturbating in public, with arms tightly crossed and a pinched face, she apologizes for her daughter’s horrific behavior (funny she never challenges the neighbor’s accusation of what goes on in this house!).  Poor Sally cowers in her room waiting for the inevitable angry Mommy to appear.  Betty storms in and remonstrates her child for what?? The word cannot be spoken, the act must be denied a name and brushed aside with “We don’t do that in private and we don’t do that in public”.   When Sally protests she did nothing… the  horrid  verdict;  “I’ll cut your fingers off”.  Poor Sally….

And Betty, well it’s all about Betty… after all, she is the quintessential shallow, cold, stupid and totally self-absorbed bitch mother whose foremost concern is “I’m so embarrassed”. Don’t you just love her??

I think Monday’s Six Word blog is going to have to share space with….MAD MEN. Soapy as it is, lines and characters predictable – I love it.  And to think I almost forgot to take charge of the remote in time to see it – we all know Peter was well on his way to watching CONFESSION on TMC!

Monday Morning Recap

It was painful to watch Roger succumb to the demands of a haughty, self-aggrandizing client and put on the Santa suit.  Oh those of us whose income depends on pleasing on a client rather than the use of our own intellect and talent… Hey isn’t that all supposed to go together??

And then there’s Don – so true to form!  We can count on him to get drunk and screw some skirt that happens to pass by in his visual field,  impaired as it must be considering his state of inebriation.   Props go to the nurse who so outrageously flirted with Don, but scooted away safely when she realized there was nothing to be gained there.  Too bad Allison, Don’s secretary  couldn’t think past the drunken attention she was receiving from her boss!! She presented an unflattering depiction of an attention-starved woman, an over-giver and worst of all, a pathetic embodiment of a naive, although I think she should have known better woman who believes that if a man fucks you, then he must really like you!  Too bad Carole King and Gerry Geffen’s hit,  Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? hadn’t been written and recorded yet!!! AND  what’s really telling about that song (all women take heed) is that Gerry wrote the lyrics!!!!!!!

Talk about PAIN – poor Allison felt like a $100  hooker the next morning and Don… well, and we thought  Betty was made of ice lol lol.  The laugh’s on us – he was one cold bastard the morning after the night before!!!  I wrote six words describing despicable Don:  womanizer, unfeeling, cold, angry, drunk, selfish. Pretty harsh I know and I like him – although truth be told I think my feelings have more to do with his looks than anything else – oh yes I know how shallow that makes me.

MAD MEN, Don Draper, New York City, ad men, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

And he looks so charming too, Who knew?

However, one possible explanation for Don’s dismissive attitude towards Allison in the office was that he had a blackout! Oh how redeeming that would be as well as damning because who needs an alcoholic who blacks out in their life???
