Through the lying looking-glass

If an anti-consumerist goes shopping, they must be aware of the dangers of mirrors and lights.

You might find yourself looking surprisingly stunning - slimmer and kind of "photoshopped" - in that lying piece of looking-glass and might not think twice before you buy something you don't want. But you can always exploit the flattering reflection to take a lying picture of yourself. These high-waist tight pants would look really bad in real life. I'm glad I didn't buy them.

What's also dangerous are these special postures that you (or at least I) unintentionally make when you look at yourself... trying to look naturally or what?
