MIRRORS

We've had some exciting changes in SL this year, but none has stirred such strong reactions as our new working-mirrors. Seriously, friends would send me photos of themselves reflected on one of the magical gadgets and when I didn't show much interest they would send me a taxi and invite me over so I could look at myself on one of them and inspect them closely, thinking I perhaps hadn't purchased one myself yet.

I mean... of course, it is quite handy to see where you are going with the lipstick though curiously we don't look any different now we have them, I suspect they are quite unnecessary in this world of ours. I do remember the frustration of finding just nothing in the old ones when I tried to find myself; we were all vampires. If it wasn't for the myriads of photographs and paintings we take of ourselves we would have no idea of how we look like!!

Still, mirrors? is that what we really need around here? a world made of perfect looking people (in our majority) gazing endlessly at ourselves. I hope I am wrong and that we get tired of them some day soon and find something more interesting to look at.
