How can a woman know what she looks like when seen from behind? She doesn’t see her back in the mirror, not even in two mirrors, one behind the other, because she herself is in the way.

But if she’s cares how she looks and what others think of how she looks, she would want to check how she looks from behind.

Why not an extendable selfie stick with a swivel, so you can take photos or videos of your back from 1–5 feet away. And why not connect that with a laptop or tablet, so you can see yourself live and in motion — to know what you look like walking or jogging or exercising.

Clothing stores should have that capability to help you choose what you should wear and how you should wear it. And you should have it at home to help you choose an outfit for a particular occasion.

And if your significant other isn’t nearby, he or she would probably appreciate it if you would share such images.
