darlings, if you have ever fantasized about sneaking onto the set of mad men to twirl amongst the rack of dresses and steal a puff off of jon hamm's discarded cigarette, do i have a treat for you.

photographer extraordinaire, james minchin III, was given access to the dressing rooms, art department, and sound stage of our favorite TV show. the result -- an intimate, behind-the-scenes peek into mad men, from meticiously detailed 1960s props to an image of don draper using an iphone.

yep, sometimes what goes on behind the camera is just as fabulous as what goes on in front of it.
