Description Based off Silverchair's "Ana's Song", which means a lot to me. Had to deal with the issue of anorexia when I was younger, and still have deep-rooted feelings from it that arise every so often. It's not an easy illness to get over.

" You must attend to the commencement of this story, for
when we get to the end we shall know more than we do now about
a very wicked hobgoblin; he was one of the very worst, for he
was a real demon. One day, when he was in a merry mood, he
made a looking-glass which had the power of making everything
good or beautiful that was reflected in it almost shrink to
nothing, while everything that was worthless and bad looked
increased in size and worse than ever. The most lovely
landscapes appeared like boiled spinach, and the people became
hideous, and looked as if they stood on their heads and had no
bodies. Their countenances were so distorted that no one could
recognize them, and even one freckle on the face appeared to
spread over the whole of the nose and mouth. The demon said
this was very amusing. When a good or pious thought passed
through the mind of any one it was misrepresented in the
glass; and then how the demon laughed at his cunning
invention."

That is how H. C. Andersen's "The Snow Queen" begins.
That is what I was Reminded of when I saw this.
Partly because i the Danish version (a.k.a. original) the looking glass is called "et troldspejl", literally a troll-mirror.
"Et troldspejl" is now a danish expression, used about showing things in a wrong/fake light. (Good things in a bad light, bad things in a good light, etc.)

Sorry for going all geeky on you. I just like picture.

This reminds me of a poem...
"beloved, gaze in thy own heart/gaze no more in the bitter glass/that the demons, with their subtle guile/lift before us when they pass/or only gaze for a little while/for there a fatal image grows."

This is fantastic and very powerful.
