Mirror, Mirror on the wall

One feature of the Minkus house which you just can't miss is the wall of mirrors along the living room wall.  Growing up with a house full of girls, those mirrors got PLENTY of use- we'd admire our outfits in front of them, put on makeup in front of them, dance and act in front of them, why, we'd even just talk to each other while looking at each other in them, rather than facing each other!  (Remember those days?!)

I hadn't thought much about those mirrors lately...until I went with Bruria to Gedalia Minkus's wedding last week.  Before we went home, I took Bruria to the bathroom...and right before she entered the toilet stall, she noticed that one wall was covered with a wall-to-wall, full length mirror.  Bruria was ecstatic!  She pranced around in front of the mirror, turning around slowly to admire her dress, she lifted up her arms and danced, watching her reflection...it brought back such fond memories!  Since we don't have any full length mirrors at home, she doesn't usually have this opportunity!  I had a hard time getting her to actually use the bathroom, since she was so enamored with her reflection!
