I’m surprised that instead of my reflection, I see a white brick wall with the word Bellissima! written across it in black paint—the subtext of this message being Don’t worry about what you look like! Go out! Enjoy life! Don’t be vain! It’s like those terrible coffee shops that don’t have Wi-Fi because they want you to talk to other people instead of looking at your devices. Torture. With no mirror in sight, I roll my eyes and open the camera app on my phone. Bellissima, my ass.
