*Nh Rose The Girl In The Mirror It may seem really odd to someone who has never sent naked pictures of themselves into VW, but I find it extremely difficult to recognize the girl in those photos as being 'me'. I'm not that confident and I don't like people looking at me - in fact I am really rather shy! But as we were choosing the pictures for this contri I heard a song on the radio that had some lyrics that seemed incredibly appropriate to this train of thought Ö.. "There's a girl who stands in the mirror She looks for the story in her eyes She follows the curves of her body Wearing nothing but a naked disguise" The concept of nakedness as a disguise is actually quite bizarre, but when I think about it, it really is true. It is as if my nakedness is a disguise from the person I am as a wife or a , a neighbor or a colleague at work, or even me. (Which hopefully means that no-one recognizes Rose in any of these other guises - this is something that they 'know' I just wouldn't do!.) For more than six years now I have been thinking about this dichotomy and trying to make sense of this concept I have of Me vs Rose. In the back of my mind I could vaguely remember another song about a girl in the mirror, and through the wonders of Google I found these words Ö. "There's a girl in the mirror I wonder who she is Sometimes I think I know her Sometimes I really wish I did I can't believe it's what I see That the girl in the mirror The girl in the mirror Is me" (I'm still not convinced though! *LOL*)
