Comment by ubique:
I hardly ever like staged photographs which is why I am so much taken with this one ... it first had to overcome my prejudices, and it did! I like it so much because it is such a wonderful little story. I think it's about rebellion. All the small icons of her time and her place are there; the baking stuff, the appliances, the phone, the pop, the dress, her grooming and of course the apron. She is the perfect vision of an idealized life. And yet, there is a tiny hint of something else; some simmering insurrection. There's a tiny wicked smile at her lips, and there's the slightly racy stockings. I wonder who she's calling. Probably not Dexter (or whatever hubby's name is). So I like it for all that and for its echoes of Frank Yates's Revolutionary Road. 10, and the Order of the Thumb:

What a nice blast from the past. I'm now sitting in my mom's kitchen as a little boy and she is baking me some cupcakes.

Maybe: "A phone call from the fifties"? (except for the barcode on the bottle) (not voting)

Mom?

Absoutely love the retro feel to this image - I can't find a thing I would complain, comment or even dare to suggest to change.
