It's been a while since we've seen some silly trend sweep the YouTube Nation (remember planking?), but the wait for a new trend is OVER. Enter: Draping. We actually like this one! It involves posing like Don Draper and... that's about it. Check out Mad Men fans Draping around New York City—and yes, ladies, you can Drape, too:
If you want to further this trend, we have some recommendations as to how you can act even more like Draper, but note, these are for experienced Drapers only:
- Be charming to a woman for a short period of time before acting like an asshole.
- Steal someone's idea.
- Steal someone's identity.
- Start drinking whisky at 11 a.m., repeat all day until you fall facedown on your bed.
