WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT ???

I don't own jewelry. I don't wear a watch (isn't that what the clock on my cellphone is for?). I rarely wear contacts. I'm not a candidate for lasix surgery. My only real accessory are my glasses. I currently have three pair. One really cool pair which I have had for years and just have the lenses swapped out as my prescription changes. Another are my old Armani frames where I have had transitional lenses put in. You know, the ones that turn into sunglasses when UV rays hit them? They never become completely clear, even out of the sun, making them look a bit creepy like a predator would wear (and you can see what I mean by a posting on July 29th w/me wearing them). And then there are these - which I call my 1957 algebra teacher glasses. Or my Malcom X glasses, as my staff called them.

I liked the look of the Malcom X frames, but after a few hours they are uncomfortable, and heck it's been two year, so time for new frames!!

Yesterday I got my eyes checked - including dilation. I hate that. Morty stated it best that afterward he feels like Mr. Magoo. For the younger readers here, you might have to Gooooogle that. And why is that I always feel like I'm never giving the correct answers during the eye exam? Someone would make kirjillions if there was a device to just hold to your eyes to determine your perfect vision. No more "one or two.....two or three".

So before my exam I stopped in to look at frames. It's doubtful I'd ever buy from where I was - but it gave me some ideas. I snapped some pics while I tried on, b/c well....when my glasses are off, I am blind. How else is one to evaluate? What I wasn't expecting was the clerk to catch me doing it. I found out not only am I not the first one to do it - I wasn't even the first one that day!!
So any thoughts on the styles I tried on? Anyone? Anyone???
