I love the surreal aesthetics you're using for this page. I really hope this is what you use from now on. And I think the non-stupid visitors will understand the symbology just fine.

For the audience, not all mothers are the greatest in the world and some of them are absolutely not worthy of any praise, but those same borderline psychopaths make for great content and are fun to make fun of! Just like they did to you!

I'm not trying to come off as a snob, it's just that I know by the stats that there are more readers than feedback.

The whole page is pretty much a circular metaphor. I think I've finally settled on a color scheme I like.

I'll get to the mom's profile a bit later. She's based on about five different women I met from age 11 to now, all from Victoria - a sort of overbearing manipulative "socialite art-snob".
 
 
[Transcript] - Izzy is speaking to her mom on the phone, "Yeah, Mom." Her mother replies, "Why don't you? I can take you to Alicia's new house."

"Yeah. I'll pick a day to stop by when I'm not so busy."

"I'd love to show you the new appliances she picked out. They're industrial quality, and unlike your place, everything is color-coordinated and all of it matches!"

"Sounds fun."

"I'm so proud of Alicia. She's done so well for herself..."

"I look forward to it. Look, I gotta go..."

"How's your new job going? I heard you quit the other one."

"I'll talk to you later about it, okay?"
 
 
       
 

Mandatory picture in the foyer. If mother stops by and doesn't see her photo engraven image, Izzy will never hear the end of it.
Mother's speech and manner is always overly polite and sugary. This is to compensate for the equally bitter aftertaste of what she really means to say.
(rub it in your face...)
(unlike you...)
(You ungrateful bitch! Those are our friends! We got you that job as a charity call! I had every right to know what you're doing every minute of the day to keep you from humiliating me, but you did it anyway! Don't think for one minute I won't make you pay!!)
