Help put a lawyer and a law student on Mad Men!

Are you a fan of the show Mad Men? We’ve only seen one episode, on an airplane, but we’ve heard great things. Television critics have praised it to the heavens. Our colleagues at Fashionista are also big fans.
So are many law students and lawyers. Meet Leo Mulvihill (below left), a law student at Drexel in Philadelphia, and Jon Rich (below right), a lawyer in New York:

Both have submitted their photos to the Mad Men casting call contest.
Find out how the contest works, after the jump.


Mulvihill explained the contest to us over email:

With law firms collapsing, rescinding offers, and canceling OCI, my law employment prospects are looking grim.

I thought I would get creative. AMC and Banana Republic are currently running a Mad Men Casting Call contest, where each contestant is to put forth his/her best Mad Men style.

For those of you who haven’t yet seen the show, Mad Men is based around characters in an early 1960s ad agency on Madison Avenue. The show centers on Don Draper, the agency’s creative director, and the people in his life in and out of the office. It also depicts the changing social mores of 1960s America.

The contest asks each entrant to show his or her best 60s style and take a picture. Visitors to the site then vote on each entry, 1-5 stars, with 5 being the best. The casting directors take a look at the top 10 men and top 10 women and picks one for a walk on role for the show next season.

With the resumé not doing me much good, I threw my hat into the ring for the contest. Here’s my entry.

Voting ends at 11.59 pm Eastern Time on August 11. You can vote once a day per computer connection.

I’d appreciate the help from everyone at ATL to get my ugly mug on Mad Men next season.

After you vote, feel free to make whatever snarky comments are warranted by my shameless plug for myself in this contest. Or rip on my “TTT” school. But just make sure you vote first.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Please support your fellow law students and lawyers, by giving five stars to Mulvihill (click here) and Rich (click here). Please note that the Mad Men website, apparently due to heavy traffic, is about as reliable as Friendster circa 2004. You may have to try accessing the site multiple times before you succeed.
To Leo and John: GOOD LUCK!
