    Ever tried using a WebCam for a Mirror to get dressed up in?

    Shh.... it's 6:15am, family asleep.

    Gotta be in London early, so leaving soon. Have been in the Bathroom but think it begant o wake family.....light too bright, so dressing in my study with the PC's.

    Ever tried using a Web Cam and PC monitor for a "mirror"?

    Works OK, though I prolly look half dressed in reality.

    /creeps off to the car....

    well people usually use webcams to take there clothes off, so i see no problem with it going the other way for a change.

    *ahem, trying not to snigger into my morning OJ*

    Zak, you're a very funny man.

    I love the way that he finds himself in his study for a purpose, but still has the need to post about it.

    I was up at 6.15 this morning too... Not good.

    Zak, you do realise that you had the WebCam set to broadcast and your reverse strip show was seen by several million people? In fact it's seeing some of the highest ratings ever seen on YouTube

    I looked sharp as hell.....on fire even

    But then, at 320x240 on a 22" Monitor, I also looked pixelated and fat
