Anti Vanity Challenge
Options
Today on TV I saw a brief interview with a woman who was writing a book or blog about the year she spent not looking in a mirror...even ONCE. Her husband would let her know if she had anything seriously out of place (ie spinach in teeth, a rogue hair or whatever) Beyond that, she did not look at herself at all. She claims she learned a lot, got more done, and learned to enjoy body parts that had previously bothered her.
What do you think it would be like, and would you ever try it (if realistic)

The only mirrors in my house are in the bathrooms.....
Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating.
Mirror in the bathroom
I just can't stop it,
Every Saturday you see me
window shopping.
Find no interest in the
racks and shelves
Just a thousand reflections
of my own sweet self, self, self...
Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom...
Mirror in the bathroom
recompense
For all my crimes
of self defense.
Cures you whisper
make no sense
Drift gently into
mental illness.

Does taking pics with your phone count as looking in the mirror?0

i think we should be doing the opposite. vanity gets a bad rap, in my opinion.
except instead of looking at our bodies with a critical eye when looking in the mirror (i.e. 'i want to change x, y, and z') looking and just saying 'damn i look good.'
that's what i've been doing the past few years. does wonders for the self esteem!0 -
I roll out of bed every morning and into the gym without looking in the mirror-no one's supposed to look good at 4AM. However, if I were to do that any other time of day I'd scare people off with my hair.

Nope. I love making faces at myself in the mirror. I'm a 5 year old trapped in a middle aged body.0

But mirrors are everywhere...how could you even do this?0

Ah she addressed this in the interview. Aside from basic avoidances, like not clothes shopping for that year, she said there's a big difference between glancing at a reflection in a glass window or public bathroom mirror and studying oneself the way we do0 -
