Fun house mirrors distort our reflections to amuse us. Why not use a similar thing to give people the self image they crave?
As well as a slimming mirror there could be a portly mirror, a "what acne?" mirror, a "your ears are like tiny delicate pasta shells" mirror and an "of course thats the normal
size honey" mirror.
The possibilities are endless.

How about mirrors with add-on image filters, Photoshop-stylee? I can envisage "darken" would be popular with those who liked to think they had a tan, or a "texture smoother" with those who didn't want to know about their cellulite. |

and for the truly unpolisheable turds perhaps we could have a complete fiction mirror, which is actually a box with a model in, who just mirrors the user's every move. |

Perhaps, the mirror could be made of a flexible material and combined with bathroom scales |

This would allow a lever mechanism to distort the mirror in response to increased weight. This way you would never look fat, no matter how much you weigh. Although, you might begin ot wonder why your face is distorted to half its usual width?| — | riposte,

This should be sold with bathroom scales that automatically subtract 1/2 pound every week off your weight. |

PeterSealey: if I was willing to do the work, I wouldn't buy the slimming mirror either. |
