To kweel!
Doubt glasses would bother me, unless they were really thick-framed and ostentatious.Glasses used to be anything but a fashion statement. Today is a little different in that often times, glasses styles are seen as a stylish accessory.
So is the old saying, "Guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" true or is that hangup a thing of the past?
I am a sucker for a female with black framed glasses.
Why? What is appealing about thick black frames all of a sudden? I don't get it - it completely elludes me. When I was a kid that was the generic frames for poor kids whose parent's couldn't afford anything else - thus - I got stuck with them. They were associated with poor, nerd or ugly my entire life - after years of being picked on *for* having to wear them suddenly people like my husband are trying to get me to wear them - get me to CHOOSE to wear them.
I just don't get it - of all the looks to have - why is that now the "sexy" glasses?
Fads and determinations based on such arbitrary quantification factors never make sense.Why? What is appealing about thick black frames all of a sudden? I don't get it - it completely elludes me.

I guess I get miffed when things that I got my ass kicked for on the playground suddenly become 'fashionable'
HRMPH!! pfrrrpt
I caught the edge of when being a computer nerd was bad and when it was cool. People looked at me funny when I started getting into audio. My headphones caught attention and so did the iPod (as well as the music collection). Things change, is all.
Nerds are the new cool.
Because we have jobs.
Having a job isn't cool.
Just ask Christine McConnell.

but she is not a nerd. :2razz:
No, obviously one of the cool kids, what with her jaded air of ennui and her colorful history of excessive drinking, casual sex, and dabbling in blood sacrifice.

Clearly her character is under attack.
