    So you want me to be blind? Is blindness fashionable? Methinks no. Stumbling into people and falling on your face is probably also not very lady-like. WHAT DO I DOOO?

    I wear glasses every day, and I have about 10 different pair. They are definitely a fashion accessory for me.

    My glasses are fantastic. I almost wish I needed them for more than just reading.

    I miss wearing my glasses everyday sometimes, and I would miss them more if they were cat's eye style. (I wear contacts daily now, my vision is really terrible and I find it better in my contacts)


    My grandmother used to rock a pair in the 40s and 40s very similar to that, and she is my style icon.

    @Liz11685: I find my vision is better with contacts too, but if glasses didn't distort my eyes (I have a highish + prescription), I would totally wear them for fun once in a while. Now I pretty much just wear them before I go to bed and when I get up, but my bf still thinks they're hot, eye distortion and all!

    The glasses are fantastic, the hats are all kinds of failure, and I love vintage hats. I feel like some stylist was like, "Oh Jesus, put a beach ball on her head! Anything to distract from the *glasses*"

    Wearing goggles will draw me in like a magnet. As will glasses. As would a party hat or Burger King crown.


    Seriously, I will talk to you. There's not a whole lot of people I don't talk to.

    One of the weirdest things that ever happened to me was when a certain actor eyefucked me and said "I like your...glasses" while staring at my breasts. My friends still tease me and say "your glasses look great in that sweater."

    @sarah.of.a.lesser.god: In a related story, my ample-bosomed best friend and I were at a coffeeshop once. We had been up all night studying and were dressed super casually, just jeans and Threadless T-shirts. This guy comes up to our booth, staring at her breasts, and without ever looking up or making eye contact with either one of us, goes "I like ... the ... graphic ... on your chest."


    Yeah, but your story's better cos it's an actor. You kinda have to tell us who it is now.

    Look, mechanically-oriented bitches of 1940, my brand-new glasses frames are snazzy as all hell and look great on me. So you can suck it.


    Although I don't think they'd like a "girl of tomorrow" who's as mechanically-minded as they are, come to think of it. (Engineering ftw.)
