"Mom-Like"

The other day the assistant at my commercial agency called to tell me I had an audition for a Budweiser commercial. He told me the time and the address and he told me what to wear. At first I thought he said a "skin tight dress" but was relieved when I realized he actually said "mom-like dress." And then I was sort of disturbed. Have I really entered into the "mom" category? Not to mention since when are there "mom" types in beer commercials? After hanging up and heading to my closet, I realized I actually have a lot of "mom-like" dresses. Most of them are my mom's. But now what sort of "mom" are we talking about here? An L.A. "cougar-type" mom in Uggs and a Juicy sweatsuit or a "sensibly dressed" perhaps "Talbots-clad" PTA Board Member mom? Being a mom for the first time was very confusing. I opted for a "conservative" yet "form-flattering" DVF-esque "wrap-dress" ("Nothing flatters a figure better than a good wrap dress, Lilibet, especially with three-quarters-length sleeves,") my mom, Betty, (of the latter school of moms) has told me many times. So I slapped on my wrap dress and combed some baby powder through my hair because I didn't have time to wash it. I accidentally put a little too much baby powder in my hair, however, turning it a lovely shade of frosted gray. And all of the sudden I went from "fresh young mom" to "old mom" or perhaps even "hot grandmother who's had lots of plastic surgery."
