respect the curves!




hotness is: this curvy goddess!

I love Joan played by Christina Hendricks from the show Mad Men as does everyone else who is obsessed with the show, the era, the fashion and the curves on miss Joan Holloway. Mattel, put out a series of dolls based on the characters on the show. Don Draper (the womanizer), Betty Draper (the Grace Kelly-like housewife), Roger Sterling, (the silver fox), and Joan Holloway (red, otherwise known as the bombshell). Mattel got the color of their hair and clothes somewhat right but sadly left Joan's luscious beautiful curves out. She looks like skipper (who has the body of a thin pre-teen). They certainly left out all the "Va-Va-Voom" from Joan's body, and it's a total shame because this was their opportunity to give us all a different, real, true-to-life barbie doll.

  1. So cute! I agree with the missing va-va-voom of Joan's curves! Maybe it used more plastic or something haha. Still, I feel there is not excuse and I want answers!
