The Lifestyle Mother Deserves

Posted by Bettina (Los Angeles, United States) on 28 June 2011 in Documentary & Street.

She must have done something really bad to deserve this. Happy ST. This was an ad for the "Monarch Village": a village of deserving monarchic matriarchs.

Still catching up from all the work!

derserve? strange street sign. would like to know what it is all about. what she definitely should not "deserve" is a taco bell diet.

@trilliana: I just find it so uncomfortable to be appealing to this aspiration of grandeur and importance and pride through advertisement. It's a retirement home; hardly resembling monarchy. Hardly a lifestyle. Hardly deserving. Maybe settling. "The Lifestyle Mother Must Settle For" is more like it.;)

ST Smiles . . I see they have that image on their website for retirement living. Grand as I'm sure they try make the place, it sure looks like a nightmare to me . . every day of the week !

There are just so many things that make me cringe about that picture. It just needs some apple pie, Dad doing the bar-b-q wearing a "Funny" apron, the kids living in a $5M New York apartment(even though they are unemployed), and a dog that can talk to finish it off. Back in a moment, I'm just off to put 2 fingers down my throat

@CElliottUK: I hope you feel better now.

Oh no - this retirement village looks to be the equivalent of Sunnyside from Toy Story 3!

@The Mouse: Lol. That's just me making sure this isn't in my future...

That is messed up!

Tee Hee. Looks like the implication is that she is deserving of sitting back with her family and just going "Taco Bell." Oh, I think not. Mom deserves WAY better than that. :-)
