Do you have a mirror you think makes you look better?

I swear my bathroom mirror makes me look thinner and younger than the mirror in my bedroom. The bathroom mirror is 5’ long and not curved in any way, and is not distorting the image optically.

But, damn, I look good today. In the bathroom.

The mirrored door on my bedroom wardrobe. I look much thinner in that one than any other mirror in the house.

I recall using a gym that had mirrors that I think were warped in some way - you’d check yourself in a mirror in the changing room and look okay, go into the gym and all of a sudden you’d put on 20 pounds…
