Oh Pretty Me!
I love the idea that we never really know what our faces look like because they’re always reflected backwards. Our sense of our symmetry is unfounded and we only know what we look like to others. Oddly, this increases our vanity rather than the other way around. So I am particularly fond of mirrors that are chopped up or oddly shaped to add to this confusion. I also like the idea of our faces being turned into artworks on the wall that are always changing, depending on the faces we make. Someone once pointed out to me that women always have their mouths open when applying mascara which is kind of an amusing statement of self-shock. I try now to close my mouth when putting on mascara, but honestly, it’s very hard. So I just go with it all, wondering if everyone else thinks my face is as stunned as I do.
