With the New Year quickly approaching and people making many resolutions some that will be kept and some that will be forgotten by the Presidential Inauguration we wanted to leave you with some food for thought.
Our image is portrayed by more than just what we wear…it is also noticed by what we say!
Dear Imagers,
Thank you for your continued support. By the looks of the numbers Mirror Image is quickly becoming a favorite and we couldn’t do it without you! I was out and about on Halloween and was fortunate enough to overhear some women talking about how some of the costumes were H.A.M.S. and should be featured on Mirror Image Magazine!!!
You can imagine my surprise. I want to thank those ladies because they are the inspiration behind our “tricks & treats” feature. I put up a few more treats than tricks because I was actually quite impressed with the array of costumes I saw this year.
Keep checking in on us to see what other extras we have in store for you!
Til next time.
Style & Smooches,

Here at Mirror Image Magazine we know you must have thought we were slipping that we didn’t talk about fashion week coming and going…we were just trying to take some time to find the spring scandals that all of the other sites might not have jumped on yet. Here are a few spring scares right in time for Halloween (which is the only time it would make sense to be caught outside wearing one of these outfits!!!)
We’ll call this one Farmer Jane meets Cyndi Lauper. Now we know even farmer girls just wanna have fun but come on now. What was Zucca thinking??? Denim, polka dots and a tutu? Dorothy, if this is Kansas then remind me never to visit there!!!
I know why she’s wearing dark sunglasses. She’s scared someone is going to recognize her modeling this atrocity. Celine should have spent more money on material and added it to the dress and less money on accessories because what is around her neck doesn’t work for me.
I know that a picture is worth a thousand words but this Alexander McQueen design has left me SPEECHLESS. I’ll leave the thoughts for you in the comment section…
Dear Readers,
I am coming to you today from the top of my soap box. (Give me a minute to be lifted up) Okay, I’m settled now. We MUST, I repeat MUST, do something about this disaster that is taking over nightlife. Flip-flops in the club as shoes!!! When did it become the “IN” thing to wear to the club that which one wears to the corner store?
Now I know that flip-flops have stepped their game up over the years. I myself own over 20 pairs, in different colors, styles and materials. Really, it is kind of amazing how many different ways they can market the same shoe. I have flip-flops that I have paid $1 for and flip-flops that I have paid over $40 on. Yet I won’t be caught in the club wearing any of them. That is not to say that I have never brought a pair in my bag (or a friend’s bag when mine is too small) but that is for after I leave the club and do the drunken walk to the car not for while I’m getting my drink and my two step on inside of the club.
I went out to a few spots last night and was very disappointed in what women were considering appropriate footwear. I’ll give it that flats are very trendy this summer but there is a difference between flats & flip-flops. And even still I believe flats are great for shopping, lunching, bbqing and hanging out during the day but once night falls it is time to make a change.
Footwear can make or break an outfit. And last night I saw waaaaaaaay too many outfits that were borderline end up broken. I know that my whole disposition changes when I throw on a sexy pair of stilettoes. Does that not happen for all my stylish sisters? Gentlemen, doesn’t a fly pair of heels grab your attention?
I’m asking you to join me in the ANTI FLIP FLOP MOVEMENT. Ladies, pledge to step your shoe game up when you go out at night. Gentlemen, pledge not to give these flip-flop femmes any added attention. Let’s bring back the IMAGE we want to nightlife. Let’s bring back the days of taking hours to get ready and really looking like we care when we go out.
Please bring your “A” game or stay home. Oh, and fellas, don’t think you’re off of the hook. Leave the white tees as undershirts and stop thinking they’re a fashion statement. Do you even know why that trend started?

Dear Readers,
As your editor I would like to apologize for the lack of updates in the past week. What can I say, we at Mirror Image Magazine have been partying like its our birthday…because well, it was my birthday!
That’s no excuse though. We owe you BIG…and that’s just what we plan to do, bring you BIG things. Don’t think for a minute that we weren’t out looking for the best (and the worst) to bring you. And we’ve found it.
We’re a few days late and a few dollars short (blame that on the shopping spree we went on in South Beach…for research purposes only, of course!), but we’re going to bring you many opportunities to free your mind and image for this Independence Day. We’re looking to bring you an after the fact review of the BET awards (we know you saw our girl A. Keys and her SPANX!!!), super sales that will help you find those purrfect BBQ outfits for the weekend as well as just the thing to wear to the 4th Annual Polo Shirt and Tennis Skirt Party @ LQ (who but Showcase Ent & Empire Ent. can get us to wear a tennis skirt off the court???), we’re also bringing you the opportunity to put us on blast…yup, i said it…look for the picture of Mirror Image staff and supporters. You tell us what we did right and what we did wrong.
We know we got you open…but you’re just our close friend 
unless of course you think you have what it takes to be a Mirror Image Style Critic. We’re currently looking to expand our team so if you think you can hang with the big girls then send us a sample of your work at submissions@mirrorimagemag.com
