It was just a fluke that I saw it. I usually ignore all the glossy ads on
the way to locating the table of contents. But the Wonder Bar double spread
couldn't be ignored.
I'm a fan of AMC's Mad Men series about Madison Avenue's 1960's ad men, so I
tried to deconstruct what the ad agency is trying to do. Can't figure it
out though: luxury leather tote for southern consumers is minimized;
beautiful
model and red car overshadowed by Asbury Park's Wonder Bar and Tillie. And
why Wonder "Car"?
