 If you could have  mirrors in your  home  that when you look into them they made you look 10 pounds thinner,  would you like that to start your day before you left the house?  Perhaps you leave feeling better about yourself and not asdepressed to start out the day?

OR  do you prefer a mirror that  shows  the painful truth? 

As much as I would like to see myself in a better light, I guess I want the truth and not a  deception of myself as looking better than I do. 

Stores are using these so called skinny mirrors now to pump up sales. They make you look 10 pounds thinner,longer and thinner. Do you think that is fair??? Is it deception for the clothes buyer?

No don't want to live in an illusion.

Seriously I'm pretty sure people know how they TRULY  look and if they want to fool themselves by using mirrors that make them appear to be something they are not then that is their prerogative.  I personally think it is odd to want that but what others want to do is not my concern. 

I don't think it is deceptive of a store to use them either as, like I said, people are usually pretty aware of how they really look. Stores often use lighting to make us look better too. But a person who is 5'3 and 150lbs and then goes into a store and all of a sudden they look taller and thinner they know that isn't real. And if they don't, well then I'd say they have some issues that need to be addressed. 

We we are definitely a society of denial on so many levels though.

Lol I thought the same thing! For some it can make you look gaunt and too skinny so how would that be flattering to some of us?
