Okay, I've been seeing a lot of people post asking "Which way is she really spinning." So I decided to post and take some screen shots... retentive, I know, but maybe this will clear some things up:
Examine both of the above shots very carefully, and you will be able to see that they are of neither her left, nor her right side. The image was designed "just so". It is, in fact, both.
And on to the front and back shots. Again, you will see that it is neither her back nor her front, but both. : )
Update: Further examination leads me to believe that she is not spinning at all, but instead "morfing", for lack of a better term. If so, then as the image is morfing, the brain registers it as "spinning". From there either the left or right side takes over, and causes it to spin either counter-clockwise or clockwise. :)
