Get a Mad Woman Body

First step, ditch the gym! Recently, January Jones (a k a Betty Draper) said that she was told by producers to "gain weight, gain weight, gain weight because they want a soft, voluptuous woman, which they were [back then], which is beautiful, as it should be." And you can cancel that appointment with the plastic surgeon too! The show's creator wants his guest stars to be au natural. "You can’t have a face full of Botox and get on the show.
