I'm so distracted by her shadow boobies that I don't much care which direction she spins.

I can't get her to spin counter clockwise.

MMmmmm.... shadow boobies....

ABG: try looking at her FOOT, not her shadow boobies. It's easier to get her to change rotation that way.

She has feet?

Actually, once I focused on the feet, I can't get her to turn Deosil. It's just the way my brain works.

I keep seeing the shadow of her foot and it convinces me that she's rotating clockwise. She remains stubborn in her original rotation.

Works awesome for me. If you cover her up with your hand and just look at the shadow (reflection?) you can flip her back and forth.

I found that watching the illusion on this page helped me do it. Now, I can look at the image in GD's post and do it.
Very cool.

OK, this one is weird, GD!

I only see her counter-clockwise in this image, no matter what I try. I see her left leg as her supporting leg, right leg as the lifted/working leg, making her only turn to the left.

This sounds so cool! I wanna be able to flip back and forth too, but it didn't work for me.

Very cool.

And when I look on this page, they are ALL going clockwise, opposite of what I see in GD's original image. Somethin's wrong wit me.

ETA:
I can do it! I can flip her at will! I have no idea why.

This makes me happy, which also probably makes me a geek, and I don't care.
