    Absolutely not! I would at least have to do something with my hair every once in a while. Geesh.

    I could've done a year while back, I think. I used to avoid mirrors all the time years ago, and whenever I did catch my reflection I'd make an ugly face or give myself the finger. Stupid teenagers!

    But now, I'm even thinking of buying a full length mirror for my home!!! Oh my.

    So, no probably not.

    no I need to shave every 3-4 days. sure a lot of the ladies dig the scruffy look but it would bug me after a while.

    Absolutely not. I feel naked without make-up.

    OK, so I just ran to the bathroom and realized it's pretty much impossible to do this if you ever wash your hands in a public bathroom or need to set something on the counter.

    At home, I guess you could cover the mirror, but not out in public.

    Nope. I can put in my contacts without a mirror, but I prefer to have one. Especially if I end up with an eyelash or cat hair in my eye.

    Besides... If I spent a year without a mirror, I'm sure I'd spend about 364.5 days with a poppy seed stuck between my front teeth.

    HA!! Nope. I hate my curly hair and couldn't flat iron it to perfection daily if I had no access to a mirror!!

    No, because I brush my teeth everyday and my mirror is right there! Lol

    I could go a week or so because I do not wear makeup much, but there is a giant mirror in both bathrooms.. So...

    I find it hard to believe that one could actually do this. So she put a blanket over the mirror in her house and didn't look at her reflection when she drove.

    What about when you go out in public and use the restroom? Did she close her eyes and feel her way to the sink because she might catch a glimpse of herself? She had to have walked around with her eyes closed all the time because there are reflective surfaces every where.

    How the hell are you supposed to do that?

    Mirrors are everywhere.


    I myself need a mirror to put in eye drops. Really hard to aim right without one.

    So did she wear a blindfold at the hairdresser?

    Without mirrors, how else would I blow myself kisses???

    This, I have no idea how she used a public restroom. Plus, realistically, I need to look in the mirror before I leave the house in the morning. If I don't, I tend to go to work looking like complete cr*p, which isn't good for my professional image. Maybe if I was better at keeping up certain things (e.g. brushing my hair or making sure my clothes aren't covered in cat hair) without a mirror then I could try to do it, but I still don't know how you'd deal with public situations.
