$19.95 trip in time

I bought myself a new makeup mirror online and it arrived tonight.It's exactly like one I had when I was growing up. I took it out of the box, plugged it in and
suddenly I was 13 and sitting at my pink and white dressing table that my stepdad made me, in my pink & white room, looking in my Conair 3 way mirror getting ready for my first date. Curling my hair, putting on make up, practicing seductive looks to use on the 17 yr old I was going out with (as if 17 yr old boys needed seductive looks, little did I know back then).
I spent hours in front of that mirror. It had different lighting settings, too. Naturally I kept mine on "evening" most of the time. I wish I could travel through time somehow and talk to that girl, warn her of all the stupid mistakes that were to come.
I come back to the future with a bang and look at the face I have now. This mirror has the face of a middle aged woman in it and much, much better lighting and magnification than the one I just threw out...where did those mustache hairs come from? Where did that sad, bone tired look come from?
At least I can afford a lot more makeup these days, to cover up the years and the mistakes.
