Nowadays, materials used for backing mirrors are metallic coatings of silver, gold, and chrome. The silvering process was invented in about 1600AD and is still used even today. Source: Mirror History.
I simply don't believe what I see in the mirror. I know I'm slimmer than the reflection and my face is much younger. Hehe. Self image is a powerful thing, especially when you post a fifteen-year-old picture on your social media.
Sayings about a cracked mirror bringing seven years bad luck used to abound when I was a child. Some people would cover a mirror if there was a death in the family too, believing their soul would become trapped.
Superstitions aside, have you ever tried tying a bow in your own hair while looking in a mirror? It doesn't help much—believe me. A few days ago I thought I'd tie a narrow satin ribbon on one side of my hair to hold it back instead of a clip. Clumsy fingers and wrong messages made the task very difficult.
And now to the answer of the question: TOOT. How did you do?
