There is this wonderful podcast that I listen to regularly.
I don't recommend things very often, but I recommend this like I recommend my religion. Ok, maybe not that much recommendation, but pretty close. It is probably the hottest thing since sunburn. (Anybody know that movie reference?)
Anyway, enough about my obsession with this podcast, lets get to the point.
One of their podcasts, Desperately Seeking Symmetry, sparked a thought in my head that I have not been able to get rid of. Here is the thought: when I look in the mirror it is deceiving me. It does not show me what I actually look like, what everyone else sees.
SOOOO
Everyone, I would like to introduce you to Leesa through the looking glass.
Say hello!
What I think you see when you look at me. What you actually see.
What do you think of her? Does she look familiar?
In the podcast they mentioned a guy who built a mirror that would show you what other people see when they look at you. When they looked in the mirror some people freaked out, and were sure that the person in the mirror was someone else. Now I don't think I look that different, but I do look different.
Try reversing a picture of you, I want to see your secret mirror companion.
Oh and don't forget to fall in love with Radiolab! Start with "Limits," it will change your life. For reals.
