Mom glamour shotMother's Day is a day on which we celebrate the beautiful ladies who made us into who we've become today: internet-crawling culture monkeys.

If you're reading this, there's a good chance you know how to "surf the web," a skill set that may remain unfamiliar to your mom, bless her. But today that changes!

Today, Urlesque provides you with five internutty gems guaranteed to get your mom all set up with her very own online obsessions, JUST LIKE YOU!

This collection of middle-aged ladies popping collars in soft focus is sure to give Mom a case of the giggles. Maybe she's had her own Glamour Shots disaster or maybe she's savvy enough to know that the signature portraits can be dangerous to both the eyes and the soul. Whatever the case, Mom's going to love these photos, which promise to keep her from even going near her collar next time there's a photo op.



If Mom is one of those ladies, she's a big fan of soft, newborn babies dressed up by photog Anne Geddes as plants, animals and inanimate objects. What could be a better introduction to YouTube culture than a mash-up featuring baby after baby after baby, all of them costumed as, like, snails and mice and birds and s**t? Yes, it's gross, but it's also Mom's day, so humor her!

Speaking of Anne Geddes, um, hello? How about personalized eCards featuring those plump little stinkers set up as the perfect accompaniment to a birthday wish or congratulations? (Also, expect Mom to go nuts with eCards in general. They're addictive.)

Cathy comic


If Mom reads the comics, then she's probably keen on Cathy, the frumpy everywoman whose battles with chocolate, the gym, and -- ack! -- her mother keep good Moms everywhere entertained on a daily basis. With the internet, there's no need for an actual newspaper anymore, thanks to Geocomics, which updates the comic strip every day.

Babyrazzi


Mom may still think Perez Hilton is "the blonde porno star with money," but wouldn't you rather she not waste her time on celebrity blogs? While those intentions are all well and good, there's got to be some online gossip rags that aren't a waste of time. So, what better introduction to those filthy online rags than a quick stop at Babyrazzi, a celebrity baby blog where Catherine Zeta-Jones provides a hot zinger about being a not-so-domestic goddess? Sure, they may have picked it up from Allure, but that's what blogs do, and when the line is "I make reservations, I don't make dinner," Mom's sure to be tickled pink.
