The State of the Selection Hand Mirrors

stormdogSince the bathroom mirror fell from the wall and shattered yesterday, I just walked to Walgreens to get a hand mirror.
The only one available is a sort of bright lavender. I'm annoyed at the implication that, as a women's product (since apparently no man will ever use a hand mirror) that it must be some kind of pink (because apparently women must have pink things exclusively). But so it goes.
More annoying is the fact that there is a giant sticker covering the bottom third of the mirror, touting the maker's name and the fact that this is a hand held mirror, in case I couldn't figure that out. I think the only way to get the sticker off and clean the glass is with a razor scraper and/or lighter fluid. Who thinks these things through? Nobody, I suppose. I'd buy a different one, if I had the option.
