"When I was a little girl I would pretend I was Alice in Wonderland, looking into a miror, wondering what I would see. Was that really me? Who was that staring back at me? Could it be someone pretending to be me? I would dance around, make faces, just to see if that little girl in the mirror would do the same.
I suppose every kid’s imagination takes over. The looking glass can be magical, like acting, in a strange way. Especially when you’re pretending to be someone other than yourself. This did happen when I put on my mom’s clothes, tried to fix my hair as she did and powder my face with her big powder puff, and, oh yes, her red rouge and lipstick and eye shadow. I would imagine I was sexy, like the top movie star in those days: Jean Harlow.http://historiful.tumblr.com/post/2552816073
