--- Quote from: Storel on 28 Apr 2015, 22:45 ---Why are we assuming that's a portrait of Veronica? Just because the hair's the same color?

Because Veronica strikes us as the type to have artful nudes of herself scattered about her abode given her openness (to appropriate-ish persons) about her career?
--- Quote from: Gladstone on 28 Apr 2015, 23:03 ---It's actually a housewarming present from Dora.
--- End quote ---
Somebody just launched a new fanfiction line.
QuestionableIntentions:
I get that this was a joke, but still. A whale penis and a nude painting of oneself (if that really is her) are not appropriate decorations. Especially not for your son and his girlfriend.
Would a male character have gotten away with it?
Method of Madness:
Steve, maybe.

Steve definitely. If memory serves, shirtless photo (possibly just in a codpiece?) above his bed. It used to hang over the mantle, but he decided it worked better as a post-coital conversation piece. Someone with better archive-fu will have to hunt the relevant strip (a conversation with Marten and/or Tai, I believe) down for me, because I have no idea where to look.
BenRG:
I'm thinking that this is why Marten doesn't bring girlfriends to his mother's place often. He isn't ashamed of her but she just can't help but be embarrassing with her paradoxical openness about her profession and nature. She scares them off without meaning to!
Meanwhile, I think that Claire has a sudden need to wash her hands.
FWIW, I think that the portrait is of a young Veronica Vance, possibly by an admirer or a client. Most wouldn't display it but, maybe, this is a clue to part of Veronica's personality: She has a love for beauty and feels that something beautiful should be seen. As for the whale penis? Well, unfortunately that's another part of her personality: She's got a mischievous sense of humour.
Regarding the overall décor, Kugai is probably right. It's likely an example of Scandinavian minimalism, what I call 'an IKEA special'.

It's hardly erotica and Marten and Claire are both adults. It's certainly eccentric and maybe a little vain but it's hardly offensive!
Just a final note - I've got a real feeling that, probably next week, Veronica will tell Claire that she knows that she's trans and will freak Claire out by demanding all the gossip about the relationship.
