You haven’t seen the last of Betty Draper’s golden globes — new outtakes from this month’s GQ cover shoot with Mad Men’s January Jones have surfaced, and they do indeed seem designed to drive men mad.
There’s no doubt that Jones has a spectacular body beneath Betty’s cone bras and swirly-twirly hair Cinnabon. But would you rather drape her in country-club chintz, and keep your image of Don’s driven-to-distraction ’60s housewife intact?
What do you think of other buttoned-down starlets gone PG-13 for glossy magazines, like Jessica Biel in the now-defunct Gear back in her papa-don’t-preach 7th Heaven days, or Gretchen Mol in Vanity Fair’s infamous “is there a chill in here or is it just my nipples” shot heard ’round the world?
Are they just part and parcel of this business we call show, or does it reduce beautiful, accomplished women to the mere circumference of their cup size?

God bless January Jones.
pathetic. taking most of your clothes off in a magazine is *so* original.
This coming from a website that continuously devotes blog posts on pictures of the boys from Twilight shirtless.
I love January- but this pic is not that great- she needs toning up a bit, but the cat on a leash is a big plus- I’d love to know who he manages this- my cat would chew me up and spit me out if I dared to put a leash on her.
One word: Desperate
What does she have to be desperate about? She’s young and on a hit show.
I do admit it’s a bit much. She’s clearly trying to appeal to the Betty-haters out there, attempting to show she’s not that stuck-up, cold chich from the sixties.
