Helen has taken stances in past episodes against beauty standards for women, whilst simultaneously trying to get Daria to look less off-putting. In "[[This Year's Model]]" she expressed negative views about the modelling industry and about plastic surgery for girls & young women in "[[Too Cute]]"; however, right after stating plastic surgery was bad, she then started to talk about how it was understandable if a middle-aged women did it to get ahead in work. In "[[Of Human Bonding]]", after lecturing the [[Fashion Club]] about how a few lines and spots aren't sins and how women shouldn't be pushed aside just for age, she abruptly asks Sandi if her mother knows "a good collagen man". She keeps trying to hide her exact age. [[Glenn Eichler]] has stated this isn't a comment on Helen "so much as a comment on the pressures the working world exerts on women and on middle-aged adults in general".

One MTV tie-site was [http://web.archive.org/web/20001020092438/mtv.com/mtv/tubescan/animation/daria/homepage_051299/index.html From the Desk of Helen Morgendorffer]: " I'm so busy these days I hardly have time to hyperventilate, let alone deal with this internet jazz, but let me tell you I'm just as "with it" as some little snot-nose-fresh-out-of-law-school-with-a-pathetically -Freudian-cigar-fetish -and-a-fancy-Sub-Zero-refrigerator-he-uses-to- store-a-half-a-jar-of-mustard. And who cares if Eric invited him to go windsurfing?"

She includes pages on her firm, the Lawndale Library Board, Carter County Road Walkers Club, the Lawndale Businesswomen's Forum, and the Couples Therapy Night organisation ("husbands must turn up"). She also has a "Morgendorffer Family Update".
