Joan Hollowaywould probably approve.

In a flash from the past, Playboy posted a 12-year-old photo onTwitterof"Mad Men"starChristina Hendricksin a bikini.

"Tuesday Trivia,"the magazinetweeted."Who is the famous actress in this photo from the July 1999 issue?"

Hendricks can be seen wearing a long, blond wig and a silver bikini as she straddles an overly tanned male wearing nothing but a tiny bathing suit.

Two other women appear in the picture dressed like the actress, along with a clown. But this is no joke.

"For those who guessed Christina Hendricks from 'Mad Men,' way to go!"Playboytweetedlater on."She's on the right and helped illustrate an article on summer shooters."

Hendricks, 35, told the November issue ofHarper's Bazaarthat she's flattered by the compliments her curvaceous figure receives.

A fan once approached her, saying,"'Excuse me, I just want to tell you that I watch your show, and you make me feel better about myself. I am a curvy woman, and you've made me feel sexy and beautiful.'"

"I got teary-eyed,"Hendricks said.

According to Playboy's Twitter account, this picture is from a 1999 shoot. (Twitter)
