I own a magnifying mirror- a woman's prized possession, as well as her ultimate worst enemy. On the normal side of the mirror, I'm me. A little blemish here or there, maybe my eye brows need a bit of plucking. No biggie. I'm not so bad looking. I can deal. On the magnifying side- I'll need my roommate to escort me out the house with the "Only you see that reflection" speech, until I put her face to face with her reflection magnified x300. $146 of beauty products and an appointment with my beloved esthetician later, I've nicknamed myself SuBo, and I'm eating Arugala lettuce for lunch.
Originally published by Blend Magazine in 2008, Simon Wald-Lasowski's photo series titled "Beauty is the Beast" is based on the assumption that beauty is the imperfection. He brings up an interesting topic that is definitely relatable. Maybe he has a magnifying mirror too.
