In the picture the first thing i saw was a skull and then the second
thing i saw was a lady looking in the mirror sitting at her vanity. I dont
think a girl would see different first then what a boy saw just because
of a different sex. It depends on the person whether boy on girl what
they first saw.

At first i saw a lady looking at herself in the mirror. From far i saw
a scull.When i thought about it for a little, i put it ogether and
realized.that the girl is seeing her life go fast. Maybe it is the girl
wearing a mask from dunbar.From the outside she see's beauty but
on the inside she see her real self

looking into A mirror. To me the question doesn't make sense how
Am I going to say what A man see's first because I'm not A man. But
Some women would see the lady first and the man wuold probley
see the skull,But I noticed the skull first.

When I first looked at a picture I sow a women in front of the mirror.
Later on I sow a skull, her make up and perfum . I made a prediction
For women : I sow a skull figure and then I recognized a picture of the
woman in front of the mirror . For male: I think male would seen a girl
in front of the mirror.

When I looked at the picture, i saw at first a white skull. As I was still
looking I then saw a woman who was siting in a chair, looking at
herself in the mirror. So my prediction to that is that i think most male
and females would have saw a skull first as well. I really don't think it
matters if u r a male or a female. I still think most would have saw a
skull first, then the woman. Then again there are other people that
would have thought different.

I think that it doesn't matter if you are a female or a male. It depends
on your personality. Like if your into dark stuff then you will see
something that is more scary and if your into more non scary stuff
then you'll see somthing that isn't as scary as the other person will
see. So I think that it doesn't matter what sex youare.

When I first saw the picture i saw a skeleton skull. Later on I saw a
women sitting in a vanity, like doing her make-up. In my opinion a
male would have have seen two women talking face to face. While
a female would have seen just one women doing her make-up in a
vanity table. So, yes , I feel both genders would have view the picture
differently.

When I looked at picture at first for few seconds. I saw a skull and a
woman in its own eye. But she sat front in the mirror and thought
something in her mind. It was her fear about death.
I had to look at it again. This time I had a chance to look at it
clearly and thoughts more. I saw something about a woman sat on
the chair and it was a vainity. She looked at the mirror and had her
hands held each others. She wanted to think about something or
tried to be vain in someways.

When I first loked ay the picture "All is Vanity " , I seen a skull. When
I took a closer look I saw a women sitting in front of her vanity. She
was staring at her reflection and sitting in front of makeup."Question"
could this picture be tied in with some type of psychology? Reverse?I
predict that the boys would have seen women first. I think this
because men are always looking for women.If it was in the reverse I
think that women would have seen men first too.

herself, then after a while i disturbingly noticed the skull after a few

saw a women sitting on a chair looking through a vanity mirror. She

in the back-ground. I saw candles & bottles on the vanity . In the end i
looked very closely and saw a little creature in the mirror at the bottom

realy started looking at what it realy wasit is not at skoll at all it is a
round mirror with a vanity with a white cloth on it the one eye is the
relection of the woman the other eye is actually the woman.where the
nose would be is a relection of an opening inthe curtain in the
backround the teeth are perfume bottles sitting on a vanity . my
prediction is that bot men and woman will see the same thing
wheather they see the skull or the woman first it is going to be the
same thing

First, i saw a skeleton of a skull. Later, i saw a woman sitting down
looking at her reflection through the skull but the skull seems to be a
vanity table and on it are her perfumes and her beauty products what
are suppose to be the skull's teeth. I predict that both females and
males saw the same thing at the same time. I don't think it's a
gender issue at all. I think it depends on that person and what they
saw first.

teeth. Later i saw a lady looking at herself also i saw a sheet on here
vanity and her hair looks like the eye of the skull. I think that the guys
and girls are going to look at the it and see the same thing but a girl
would see more then a guy because a guy would not want to look at it
to see the whole picture but the girl would sit there and look at it to
see the whole picture.

At first I saw the reflection of a woman in a mirror with makeup, cloth
hanging from a vanity and the moon in the background. Then I saw a
skull. I don't think tthere would be a difference at first between what a
male or female would see, but I think females would see more detail
after a while. I think females have tendencies to pick certain litle
things out that males don't always see or pick up.

I first saw a women sitting at a table. After I looked at the picture for a
few mintures I saw a skull , yet my mind keeps going back to see the
women.
I feel that most men would see the skull first. they tend to think in a
more basic manner. what they see at first glance is what they see.
Females would see the women sitting at the tablefirst. Women tend
to think in a more complex way. They look in to things in a deeper
way.

At first glace I saw a woman, she was looking in a mirror. She was
at her vanity probably doing her make-up. At second glace, it seemed
to resemble a skull, i believe this is what the woman sees when she
looks in the mirrior. While we see her real reflection.
I believe that a man would see a skull at first because most men
do not take interest in woman puting on make-up. I believe that either
gender will see what they are more interested in.

AT first when i seen the picture to me it looked like a woman with a
ugly white skeleton with a white skull. the woman was looking at
herself in the mirror of the skull she is observing herself she sees a
reflection of herself she is just looking.and later when i looked at the
picture i noticed something different the skull kind of looked like a
tablecloth halfway covering the table . it look like the woman was
making something or putting some indgrient in the bottles she had a
long white stick in her hand. I think a woman would have seen a
woman first, and a skull second; a man would see the skull first. The
woman would also see much more detail.

When I frist saw the picture i saw a white skelton skull .Now that i
really looked in the picture i saw a women in the mid 1800's sitting in
a vanity possibly fixing her or putting make-up on ; now that i look in
even deeper i see a women thinking , really concerned about
something.
I believe that when male and female see this picture they will see the
same thing i saw which was a skelton skull . no matter the sex i
beleive that the very frist look will be the skull.

well the first thing that iv'e seen when i looked at the picture was a
huge skull head smoking a cigarette , or something like that, then i
seen a women sitting in a chair looking into the skulls head like it
was a mirror. then i seen that the back round was dark and scarey
looking, and then the women was sitting at the vanity with bottle of
perfume i guess , and the vanity had candles on it , and then in the
mirror ,on the side of the vanity there was there little monster in the
corner , and then when u look it looks like it is a ship.
well about the gender thing , i think if me and a guy would be sitting
together , maybe we would be seeing different things at first then
probley at the end we would both probley see the same , but maybe
we would have two different views and maybe not see the same
either way i guess. and reall the gender does not make a big
difference at all.

The fist thing i saw when i looked at the picture, was a lady in a
mirror, but the more i looked at it the more i saw. I saw the front of a
shit, a skull with a object hanging out of his mouth<< like a a
pipe>>,and i also saw to twins in the moon light. As i studied the
picture more, i saw two ladies playing chest , out side with the moon
behind them, while a little monster whatched over them...........
With the gender issue i think that we all saw the pic in the same
amount of time. i dont think it is your gender that makes a difference,
but it is your IQ level. If anything makes a different it is your age..

Looks like most of us came up with interesting and very descriptive
ideas about the picture we observed today. Especially liked the idea
expressed by a few of you that it represented Paul Laurence Dunbar's
"Mask" in some way, or that perhaps the two pictures are connected
to one another by theme or subject. Your predictions and
explanations were also very interesting and quite varied. Am looking
forward to having more time in lab on Tuesday to explore this further,
to look at some other visual displays, and to post additional
comments.
I am also looking forward to Professor Grobstein's visit on
Wednesday, March 14 to discuss gender issues, to learn a little
about male and female brains, and to explore ideas about how we
make sense of visual images. I had the privilege of attending a
summer institute for teachers called Brain and Behavior where we
studied some of these issues. We got to think hard and have fun at
the same time, which is what I hope you will also experience here.

The first thing that I saw in the picture was the skull bone. Later I had
seen a women looking into a mirror thinking about herself. I think
that boys and girls see the same thing. It just take some people a
littile bit longer to see. I think that boys will see the skull bone first
then recognize the women later, but the girls would have seen the
women looking into the mirror, then they would see the skull.

At first glance I saw a lady looking at her reflection in the huge skull.
Later it looked as though she's adjusting the teeth of the skull which
look like perfume bottles. The reflection of her head and her actual
head form the holes in the skull for where the eyes would be.
I think the idea of me trying to predict the thoughts of my peers and
provide reasons for my assumptions is ridiculous. I have no type of
study or facts for me to be able to make an "educate guess";
moreover, I do not even know why I have beheld what I've beheld, so
how could I possibly read my friends' minds. I am but a student, not

I think males and females would see the same things. If you see
something for the first time, you don't study it. You take the first thing
you see. I don't think this has anything to do with what gender you

At first I saw a girl looking at herself in the mirror. Later I saw the
skull, and the girl's head in the eyes of the skull. The bottles sitting
on the vanity table are the teeth of the skull. Gender has nothing to do
with what you see first. I was sitting next to a male friend and we saw
the same thing at the same time.
