>From a discussion about the renovation of the Magic Castle in Hollywood
(It was involved in a fire last Halloween, and is being
renovated/repaired).
"I love learning little trivia and last night I learned about the term
"barber shopping". It's the terms for mirrors that have been placed at
opposite sides of a room that allow for endless reflections. You won't
notice at first but the mirrors in the Tiffany Room do just that!"
Construction or Interior Decorator slang?
