An Open Letter To the Mirror in the TJ Maxx Dressing Room

Dear Mirror in the TJ Maxx Dressing Room---

Hey. I was in the dressing room tonight, trying on some new jeans. Remember me? I'm the one who took this picture with my phone.



I understand that it's probably a good marketing skill for the mirrors to tell the customers that they look good in their clothing. That TOTALLY makes sense. But honestly, "That would be such a score"? Really? Who says that?

As a mirror, it's your job, I guess, to let posers look at you all day. That doesn't mean you have to become one.
