High School Party
Part 3: Jenga!
I don't think I've ever mentioned Joel's mom before. I kind of want her to be one of those characters who's around, but we never see. We only see her in flashbacks. Maybe one day I'll show Joel's mom modern day, but for now she remains out of camera in present day.
My inspiration for Joel's mom (in 1979) was Jamie Lee Curtis from Halloween. I was doing research on 70's looks for teenage girls and I didn't want her to be all flashy or anything, just average. The first thing that popped into my mind was Jamie Lee from Halloween. For some reason that's my idea of average 1970's girl. I shouldn't have grown up with that movie.
