The Mirror Image team consists of Inquirer and philly.com writers with a passion for fashion and an eye for the trends. We live to shop and shop to live, but always appreciate a good sale. We know that “What I am going to wear?” is a serious question, possibly requiring consultation and multiple outfit changes. We believe beauty treatments can be a necessity instead of a luxury, and consider awards shows required viewing. Above all, we strive to bring style into our daily lives – and have fun telling others about it.
Contributor Elizabeth Wellington has been the Inquirer's Fashion Reporter since 2003 and writes the Mirror, Mirror column for the Sunday Image section. She is a bargain shopper who hates buying pants and rarely meets a dress she doesn’t like.
Contributor Chris Gray is the editor of the Image section, and has been a reporter and editor at the Inquirer since 2001. She believes you are never too tall for heels and considers text messaging a vital form of communication.
Contributor Karen Heller covered fashion for several years, nationally and regionally, and has an enduring interest in style and fashion. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in commentary, she reports on popular culture. Her column appears in the Wednesday Daily Magazine.
Contributor Kristen Graham is a Philly.com producer and columnist. She is still recovering from her mother dressing her in homemade cotton plaid bell-bottoms as a toddler, and regards religious Project Runway and What Not To Wear watching as the only way to make amends.
Contributor Jodie Chester Lowe is a Philly.com Entertainment producer and a member of the Great Expectations project team. By college, she knew she needed to expand her wardrobe beyond casual shirts and jeans. She’s branched out with the tops, but denim still gets its own drawer (or two) in her dresser.
Contributor Ellen Dunkel is the Philly.com Entertainment channel manager. She was almost literally born to shop, having grown up in Paramus, N.J., the No. 2 ZIP code in the United States for retail sales. She often serves as a personal shopper for family members who are missing the fashion gene.

Daddy's Little Girl (LOL)If you can call criminals fun---that's what these two are. They have been pure entertainment. I do hope they get just punishment.

If true, it's kind of bizarre for a parent to give breast implants as a gift! This is a sad case.
Don't you think that they are being particularly vilified here becuase this happened in our beloved working class Philly? In a town that is known for his work ethic, they will catch no breaks. Frankly, I don't think they deserve any breaks anyway.

It looks like Daddy already gave her a nose job for her Sweet 16, (only Marie Osmond was born with a nose as small as Kirsch) so what naturally (or unnaturally) follows is breast 'enhancement'.

Silicone implants were pulled off the market before "Bonnie" received hers and weren't approved for use again until just recently. Saline was the only available option at the time she got her little Christmas gift. And even now, you have to be 22 years old to qualify for silicone (18 for saline). So she wasn't old enough, and they were technically not supposed to be implanted. Nice job, Dad-- it looks like you gave your daughter multiple messages that the rules don't apply to you all.

The German word for cherry is "Kirsche". Enough said.
