She goes up and down on one foot, and the shadow of the raised foot is always to the left of the screen. If I focus on her raised arm, she doesn't change, but if I focus on her feet or her legs, I can make her switch back and forth. It is pretty cool now that I am able to see it. To Claire,

It doesn't look like an optical illusion at all--it happens no matter how I look at her or how I focus or what I do. Vicki, please help me out. I don’t get it. I watch her and she just flips back and forth occasionally. It doesn’t look like an optical illusion at all–it happens no matter how I look at her or how I focus or what I do.

I can control her. :) Just look away from the screen so that you can only see her in your *peripheral* vision. I guess there is just too much stimulus when looking directly at the image, and I can't concentrate on flipping. When I look 90 degrees to the side, it looks more like just a rotating stick figure, which can easily spin either way. Okay I figured it out. I can control her. :)

Now I can control her spin direction. I focus on the toes of her rotating foot. Is that foot in front of her body or behind it? You choose and her spin direction accommodates your choice. It's not easy at first. OK. Now I can control her spin direction. I focus on the toes of her rotating foot. Is that foot in front of her body or behind it?

What does that say about HER? Truly, I finally saw her start flipping, but I can't cause it to happen. It seems as though SHE is in charge. It's a terrific optical illusion--the equal to any of these: http://dangerousintersection.org/?p=818 She turned only clockwise for me, no matter what strategy I employed—until I complimented her on her visible nipples, then she changed directions several times.
