Sentence: It took a moment for Dylan to realize that his sister Monique wasn't spending so much time at the sunglasses display because she was trying out a new pair, it was because she was mugging back at her tiny reflections in the lenses of all the mirrored sunglasses. She was awestruck at teh mirrorage or 64 little images of her looking spectacular in silver and rainbow tint. Dylan didn't have the heart to tell her that the sunglass mirrors really did nothing for her appearance but make her already big nose look bigger.

Etymology: mirror (reflective surface) + mirage (something that is not as wonderful as it seems or not there at all)
