Unleash your inner swashbuckler with the Pirate Self Portrait Mirror deigned by Jeannie Choe and Steven Tomlinson.
The 16" x 12" mirror has etched out patches that make it appear as if you're wearing an eye patch. If you capture the right alignment with your reflection, the silhouette of a parrot should also rest on your shoulder.
With the pirate phenomenon still very much afloat, this mirror is the perfect way to channel your inner treasure hunting crusader without having to leave the house in ridiculous apparel. Yarrr, no pirate (other than Jack Sparrow) would put themselves in situations that evoke shame and mockery.
They also have self portrait mirrors featuring a mustache, half a skull and a bird on a twig.
