Torke Brings the ’50s and ’60s to Lisbon

For season 2 of Mad Men, Torke dressed a passel of perpetual extras up in period costumes, complete with classic cars from the ’50s and ’60s. Thus coiffed, they wheeled around Lisbon distributing the “Mad Men News.”

Not sold. The effort felt more Grease than Mad Ave., minus an Olivia Newton-John knockoff rockin ‘the hotpants. If I were on the receiving end of one of those newsletters, I’d be shocked not to find a yearbook in my hand.
