15 Times Betty Draper Was Totally Fierce

An ode to the woman who taught us "only boring people are bored."

15 Times Betty Draper Was Totally Fierce

If you binge-watched Mad Men on Netflix like I did, you probably developed an unhealthy obsession with all things Betty Draper. Her perfect hair, classy style, sexy husband (let’s not forget sexy husband number two) and overall boss-beotch attitude most likely made you want to bow down to her as the queen of all housewives. Here’s a few times she really deserved it…

1. That time she drank this tequila after spotting her ex on a date.

We’ve all had that moment when we saw our ex at the bar and immediately felt the need to down a shot. If only we could do it with as much class as Betty…


2. When she shot this gun.


I personally feel every girl should know how to shoot a gun, and of course look fabulous while doing it. Unfortunately, we will never be able to pull it off quite like Betty did.


3. When she ate this ice cream and gave zero cares.



Ever eaten a pint of ice cream and immediately felt guilty? Betty Draper hasn’t. She does what she wants and looks good doing it. Who cares if she gained a little weight for a while there? Not her.


4. The time she told her daughter this.



“You don’t kiss boys. Boys kiss you.” Yep, you heard the queen. If there’s anything society has been lacking lately it is boys with the courage to actually pursue a woman the way they are supposed to. Ladies, we don’t kiss boys. They kiss us.


5. When she went to Europe and looked like this.



Perfection. If you had any doubts that Betty Draper is the fiercest woman on the planet, they should be gone now. Move over, Beyonce.


6. When she found out her husband cheated and wore this dress for two days.



Only Betty could pull this “my gorgeous husband cheated and I’m totally depressed” look off. If only we could look half this good during a breakup. Rock those polka dots, girl.


7. The time she struck this sassy pose.



I mean really, who else can use a cigarette as such an effective prop? Betty is the embodiment of the term “sassy and classy.” And she has the perfectly pursed lips to prove it.


8. Every single time she made this face.



This is the definition of “slay.” No one has mastered this look like her, and no one ever will. Forever wishing I could pierce someone’s heart with my eyes like you, Betty.

Not to mention, eyebrows on fleek.

9. That time she rolled her eyes and blew smoke at Don.



I’m sorry, when’s the last time YOU looked this good while blowing smoke out of your mouth? Oh, never? That’s what I thought. Props to the ultimate matriarch.


10. Every time she smiled like this.



Proof she’s an angel? I think so. Betty can get anything she wants with that face and we all aspire to accomplish this feat.


11. When she rocked this lingerie.



Bow down to the original smoke show. If her husband cheated on her, where is the hope for the rest of us?

Just, bye.

12. When her ex husband accidentally hit on her at a gas station.



All I have to say is…Take that, Don.


13. Pretty much anytime she rocked some 60s sunnies.


I envy her ability to flawlessly pull off sunglasses that would make most people look like an alien.


14. And of course, when she slapped her neighbor in the supermarket.



Betty single-handedly made the “slap and glare” a thing as big as the “bend and snap.”


15. Last but not least, when she pranced around in this bikini.


BRB going to the gym.

There you have it. 15 of the times Betty made us drop to the floor and bow down in honor of her perfection. She’s the ultimate boss of a housewife. Now,

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
