The Mirror Is Your Friend

"The Mirror Is Your Friend."

A friend and writing colleague, Jeannie Kerns posted those words today and set me to thinking:

"Just because you can fit into the outfit doesn't mean you should. 

Remember ... the mirror is your friend."

Sometimes I want to growl at the mirror. Other times, I may not see my own reflection clearly. Gee, does anyone?

Pondering these questions, I'm just having a little fun with a twisted rhyme today.

Girl at Mirror

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror,

on the wall -

do these pants make

my butt look small?

Does this tight jacket

bulge at all?

And am I headed

for a fashion fall?

Sometimes, a body's just gotta beg the question.
