Duh - How do I take a picture in front of a MIRROR?

I don't need to say a thing...my furrowed eyebrows say it all.

How do you take a picture, in front of a mirror, without a camera in the center?

This is painful to watch but based on a true story.
Thinking done in slow-motion to solve problem - played by Lauren Wells.

Act 1 - TA- DAAAA!

Baby in the oven shot!
Kidding PEOPLE,KIDDING!

I can hear my dad squeeeel for joy from here....he thinks my genes are getting too old.

Pffffffffffffffft - freaking PhD Chemist/toxicologist!

Not the photo that I want, needs to be closer- want to show off the crazy MAKE-UP!

Act 2 - THE CLOSE UP

Inner thoughts;

Now, how can I take a picture without the camera being in the shot?
Mmmmm - I got nothing.

Act 3 - THE STRUGGLE BUS

Nope, moving it close to the mirror does not help.
Check.

Act 4 - ETERNAL OPTIMISM/DUMB GIRL WITH CAMERA

Nope.
 Even holding the camera higher up does not help.
Mmmmm how can I get this camera OUT of the shot? UGH!
How do professional photographers on Instagram do this?!?! 

Unless....

Act 5 - LIGHT BULB ON

Ahhh - HAAA! 

I figured it out - BINGO!
REFLECTION IS KEY
(and so is a digital screen)

Act #6 - TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

Beaming because I solved the problem.
So smart - so very smart.

And I have crazy eye make-up.

Double BOOM!

Love when women at the Spa mis-understand you when you say 

"Yes-yes, I go to that crazy-party called Glitter Ball"

which in their minds means

 "Ahhhh yes! Crazy, BIG, SMOKEY EYES is exactly what you need!"

Errr - no. That's not what I said.
Oh well.

Act 7 - MEANT TO DO THAT

I'm going to pretend I MEANT to close my eyes for this picture.

Act 8 - SAD BUT TRUE

Only this (smokey eyes, problems with mirrors and cameras)
would happen in the Desh.
I swear it's the heat here - you lose brain-cells!
hahahah!

So...yeah.
