Christina Hendricks eats with "Esquire"Everyone has been hopping on the Mad Men bandwagon as of late, and who can blame them? With the amazing set design, gratuitous (and accurate for the time) drinking and smoking and the insanely hot cast, what’s not to like? Oh, the plot is pretty great too.
While January Jones is smokin’ as Betty Draper, and Elisabeth Moss is great as Peggy Olson, Christina Hendricks’ Joan Holloway takes the cake — in the show and in real life. Aside from being a total babe, Hendricks is funny, loves food and cocktails and is quite photogenic, as Esquire displayed in their September issue.
“I love to cook. I just got a deep fryer, and it's amazing,” Hendricks told Esquire writer Ryan D'Agostino, who was lucky enough to have a meal with her in L.A. for the interview. “The first night we got it, we made homemade poppers. I mean, what's the best deep-fried thing ever? Cheese poppers.” The truest thing I have ever heard from a celeb.
When I started watching Mad Men, Joan became my style icon. Vintage dresses started to appear in my closet and I became less concerned with having some meat on my bones, which many women who watch the show have said about the Holloway-effect.
“This is the way I'm built, and I feel beautiful,” Hendricks said about the fact that she’s been lauded for her curves. “It's funny, because I don't feel like I look that different from anybody. Everyone's always like, ‘You're so much smaller in person!’”
And in every interview I’ve read with Hendricks, she eats, drinks and talks about sex — she’s a dreamboat. “Drinking and smoking and having sex with other people’s wives and all those things &mdsah; they are bad, bad behaviors,” Hendricks told New York Magazine earlier this month. “But it’s all done with fabulous clothes and lighting and excellent music, and that makes for a really sexy show. Being bad is sexy.”
Yes, Hendricks is straight and seemingly in a loving relationship, but that doesn’t mean we can’t drool. You’re welcome. Submitted by on August 19, 2009 - 5:00pm. |

Ahaha, I was just about to
Ahaha, I was just about to make this comment. YoSafBridge! My best friend and I used to watch this show for hours (it's still my favorite show ever made) when I went to visit her and talked at great length about how her "breasts are like planets." It's for real.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party...
OMG!!!
I love redheads and she is like the ultimate redhead, excuse me while I drool.
I have loved her since she played a lesbian who got the girl in the episode "Check Your Head" of Without A Trace in 2006. She is beyond gorgeous, and I will just say again OMG!!!
Wait...
Hot
Damn...
I've seen these photos a few dozen times and they still manage to leave me speechless.

Zing!
Cue Tex Avery's slavering wolf character...
Nothing against the other sexy ladies of Sterling Cooper--they're all pretty gorgeous, but Hendricks definitely takes the cake. What a bombshell.
She may be straight and in a loving relationship (no, really--that's nice), but she'll always be gay inside the theatre of my daydreams.
I'm posting again...

I love her!
I have loved her since I saw her on the first season of Mad Men!
Part of the reason why I love her, besides her beauty, is the fact that she's not afraid to be a bigger woman. It makes women like me feel ok about not being skinny.
Holy...........
Hot Damn!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!*
HOT. I can't even look at her without my eyes popping out of my skull in a cartoony fashion. Oh My God. Must roll up my tongue off the floor and place it back in my mouth.
*Alleycat impersonation I reserve only for such moments.
OH MY....
*THUD*
Christina Hendricks
Been a fan of hers since I saw her in Firefly... love a good redhead.
And yeah, I think her boobs were just as big then - she was just wearing less revealing clothing.
She is by far and without a
She is by far and without a doubt the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! I am actually having to remind myself to breathe when I see her. And it's wildly unfair that she only ecxists on the screen and not in my own world. However, if she did, I would probably die of a heart attack if I ever saw her just walking down the street.
She's cute, funny, clever, sexy and mindblowingly stunning! She is all that is WOMAN.
I might have a small crush on her...............
