Mad Men yourself.

OK, so:

1) All the hair styles make me look like my dad, or what I imagine my dad would have looked like were he dad-age back then. Yeah.

2) I really like the cardigan-pointy-shoes-newspaper look. I may actually co-opt this.

3) What would you call the background music? It's good to work to...I got typing an e-mail after my picture had loaded and hadn't noticed that ten minutes had gone by!

Hey little girl
Comb your hair
Fix your makeup
Soon he will walk in that door. . .

(or something along those lines)

Doesn't really look that different from me now.

When I learned I couldn't make my little man hold a cigar and a glass of Scotch at the same time, I felt like the best minds of my generation had been destroyed by madness.

(I pretty much look like a sterner BP, though.)

Well, poop. Apparently this requires Flash 10, and my old Mac can't run Flash 10.

Wow. That train didn't even slow down. How come?

I'm SO getting this on a t-shirt.

The black swirls should be silver and I never wear heels, but this is close enough.

What would you call the background music?

It's a close cousin to (or maybe variant of) contemporary jazz. Try starting a station in Pandora with "The Girl From Ipanema" and see what else pops up.

Incredibly sexy stuff.....

How does that compare to the real me (I'm clean-shaven now)?

And after playing on Pandora a bit myself, I think that music is referred to as "Brazilian jazz."

It turned out to look weirdly like my grandmother...

tangerine, I totally want to hug that picture which means you successfully captured your tangeriness (?).
