Time Out went through a phase before of celebrity interviews and ludicrous swanky shopping articles, recently it's been a more solid listings mag. I guess circulation's been dropping, so in future we can expect lots of pap photos and sleb lifestyle articles. Great.

Doesn’t she have shiny legs? I was in a Mac shop a while ago and found that they were selling a product specifically for shining your legs. It was called leg-shine. Now having shiny enough legs is just one more worry…

I don't think you'd want shiny per se. A bit of an eggshell sheen perhaps - the sort that seems to radiate an ethereal glow when it catches the light - but you wouldn't want legs so shiny you could do your make up in them. Although it might be convenient if you were running late on your morning commute.

No - that's a whole different question. We're talking about the underlying shininess of the skin itself, not the additional layer of sheen that can be added by the donning of hosiery.

I don't think legs would be much good as a makeup mirror even if they were really shiny. You would have to be contorted at a fairly odd angle to see in them, and that would make it awkward to hold and apply makeup. Trying this on a crowded bus or tube would be nigh on impossible.

Sorry - I plainly didn't think it through.
In addition to the problems you listed, the curve of your leg would produce a distorted reflection, which would only add to the difficulty of makeup application.
