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,

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
