Here's Looking at You: A Mirror Personality Quiz

Next time you walk into the bathroom at a friend's house, look hard at the mirror. I don't mean at yourself. And no, I'm not asking that you open it and look inside the cabinet to see what's on the shelves. (You're not one of those people, are you?)

Just look at the mirror. Besides setting the mood for the room, it might say a little something about your friend: likes, hobbies, travel interests. In that vein I've collected 11 mirrors, each one a different style. First scroll through to see which you like. Then read the description and see if it fits you.

To really tempt fate, I am also guessing your sign based on your top choice. At the very least, I hope the profiles inspire you to start looking for the mirror you were meant to have.
