vintage, cheap, most glasses have never been worn!

maybe this is a better link:

OK yeah. I need new RX sunglasses. I am going to do this when I get paid on Firday. Also might investigate getting a new pair of regular ones now that I'm in glasses 24/7.

old glasses - comfy, but not geometry teacher / malcolm x enough

new glasses - not so comfy, though quite authentic. literally a half-inch thick at the edge. very authentic 50s geometry teacher. not sure why i'm pulling such a weird face in the second photo.

probably concerned they're too OTT

i like your old ones more - not sure if it's just the facial expression, but the new ones make you look older

new ones are gnarly v dot

will post a pic of myself in them smiling for comparison purposes.

Your office (?) looks awesome as do both pairs of glasses.

I still haven't gotten new RX sunglasses. Have to wait until I'm employed again now. Boo.

are you sure they make me look older, guys??

i won "dapper duffer" award on friday's all-teacher mini golf tournament

I was seriously just considering using Zenni the other day, but a friend suggested they were undoubtedly constructed by child slaves. Buzzkill.

V - I really like the both glasses on you but the new ones look great.

I finally got a pic where you can see that mine are purple and green. After 6 months of having these I love them so much that I don't care that they were pretty $$$.

geometr teacher glasses are so hot. I'm severely limited in my choice of glasses since I'm a -6 and -7 which makes me really fucking blind and my lenses are so expensive as well (usually about four times the price of the glasses)

I'm trying to stop swearing.

i'm a -8.5 in one eye and -9 on another. you should see how thick these glasses are. literally a half-inch on the side. actually, you can see in both pics how thick they are from how much they distort the space around my eyes - my eyes literally look about half as big as they really are. but i just told the optometrist fuck you man, i want gigantic malcolm x glasses.

I missed the last few entries but those glasses are pretty badass, baja

I need sunglasses!

for sunglasses, i just picked a bigger, thicker frame off goggles4u.com with tinted prescription lenses.

That's exactly what I'm doing.. looking through Zenni right now.

I kind of love these but they may be too small :(

I still need to do this. They have some frames I LOVE at my opticians but they're like $200. Ugh.

xp yeah those look a little narrow height-wise

you mean short?

I actually just have a wide face, haha.. they do look a bit short too now that I re-look at them. I am just sort of an old woman and like tacky floral prints.

I wonder what these crazy ones look like on somebody's face:

these are my new glasses. not crazy or anything but i got the lenses that get dark when you go outside. is that corny? i love it.

those are nice! I had transition lenses in high school & picture day was a trial because the flashes semi-tinted my lenses! apparently the technology has improved..

yeah it only seems to react to sunlight/uv

transition lenses! oh no! maybe ladies can get away with this but every dude who wears them == automatic perv

does wearing sunglasses mean automatic perv?

clear lenses is fine, sunglasses are fine, it's the in-between that's a real problem

but if you can find some images of dudes in half-tinted specs who make it look stylish then by all means prove me wrong

LOL ouch elmo! though I guess I haven't seen them on many men in my recollection.. it is mostly the ladies

i was just sick of not wearing sunglasses, or wearing sunglasses and having to keep track of my expensive glasses.

they get pretty dark in full sunlight btw.

elmo otm

only god can judge me

at least you picked out nice frames! are they zenni? what % tint do they go to? don't know if I should order 100% tint or what

they're ted baker ("tokyo baby b127"). they didn't give me an option as far as tint % but they go as dark as normal sunglasses, which i was glad about (b/c admittedly the half-tint looks a little weird).

yeah I was told by some random person online to go for 80% but I don't want to look like a douche! I want sunglasses! I have never been asked how much tint I want before, though, so I didn't know if maybe sunglasses are normally only 80% or something.. ah well

i would def go all the way if that is an option

I usually go all the way... nyuk nyuk

I am so in love with Baja's glasses I'm going to get me a pair. I actually had a pair similar a few years ago!

thanks!

londoners you need to check this out:

http://www.arckiv.net/
http://www.myspace.com/arckivcamden

this guy, fraser, travels to palermo and madrid and marseilles and all over the goddman place to root around in ancient forgotten boxes of glasses, many of them never worn, and brings them back to london to sell for about the same price as a new pair at specsavers or whatever the fuck

his web "presence" is shitty but if you want a new pair of glasses go check him out, you will not regret it. i got a pair of original pierre marly wrap-arounds (http://www.cofrase.com/triangledor/marly/uk/historik.htm) and he put prescription lenses in, matching the original lens color

last time I got vintage frames fitted with prescription lenses they made me dizzy - I think it's cause the bridge was made of soft bendy aluminum, and when I adjusted them for my face (should have done this before sending them off) the measurements got thrown off

just ordered these with tinted lenses for sunglasses:

http://www.goggles4u.com/images/33589.jpg

$23.99 incl. shipping!!!

just got a 20% off coupon for being on their mail list: enter Save20 at the checkout if you wanna use it. i got the email last night and it expires in around 72hrs. their website is kinda screwy and pages take ages to load, but it's worth it!

www.goggles4U.com

awesome!

i think i will order some new sunglasses and maybe new regular glasses bc mine are kinda eh but i want something for fun, too!
