60s Lifestyle Revival

Mainstream Media Embraces Life in the ‘Mad Men' Era

It seems everything 1960s is coming back into style. Some attribute this phenomenon to the popular television series, Mad Men, which is set in the early 60s and tracks Don Draper as an ad executive. The show even came out with a popular online game which lets you ‘Mad Men Yourself’ into a 60s-era look.

Even Life Magazine has hopped on the bandwagon by publishing these old photos from the early years of Playboy. I’ll tell you one thing, if anyone misses the 1960s, it’s Hugh Hefner.

Take a look at the photos to see some vintage Playboy photos.
