    This is where I bought mine. Very, very nice place and he has all of the updated equipment. No more puffs in your eyes, it's all lazers now and you get to see a 3D flight through your eyes lol.

    Eye Impact, Washington/Memorial Corridor.

    These were similar to the ones I saw; to be precise -

    The optician claimed they were the most stylish option, but as I'm a minimalist, I felt they were better for people who didn't bring the visual splendour factor to the table. After all, style varies depending on the body of of work it's on and if you put a fancy frame over the Mona LIsa, it only takes away from the greatness of the actual painting.

    This will be my premier pair.

    Ohhh, you know, I like to get in the, mood pair.

    The, let's dance, for old times sake, mood pair.

    You know, the let's discuss Moliere while we bathe each other and sip wine pair.

    Heh heh heh.

    The superman ones will be a gimmick pair for more intellectual events with scientists and girls who don't like traditionally hot guys.

    In terms of a stylish standpoint, I think the best ones are the half rim ones. They're alluring, but not for me as I go beyond the surface. I go deeper and deeper.

    Anyways, my fitting session is in a few hours so I'll keep you all posted on my progress and the discussions I have. Whether I resonate any deeper with my loyal followers and peers. I';m sooooo exciteeeddddd.

    With my glasses, I look like Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow in the Batman movies). Just wanted to share that very interesting fact.

    Just FYI, there's an Anime out called meganebu this pretty much about different types of glasses fetishes. Haven't seen it myself, but thought you might like it. So yeah, my thoughts on the ronny thread of the day.

    Bunch of them, everyone likes dif stuff though. My all time favorite single pair are made by banana republic. They don't even make that style anymore. Nike, addidas, and converse even makes them.

    Heh. Posted at 9:23 PM.

    Actually, I think the quoted statement is probably true, if you replace 'fitting session' with 'crystal meth'.

    The glasses in this post are terrible. My dad owns a very similar pair. I think you'd be best to go for the tortoise shell ones in the previous post. Square-ish glasses are definitely the way to go.

    Felt the same way. Rimless, not necessarily oval but something close. Yuck.

    Check my ips, kid. IM ON THAT JETSET SCHEDDY, AN I AINT WORKIN OUTTA THA STATES

    Rimless works if you have the raw sexuality to pull it off - that's what I ended up getting as a quote unquote, primary pair. It's class, and a stepping stone to a monocle. I was raised close to the streets and its a part of me, so I'm not jumping in bed with the monocle right out of the gates.

    The hipster ones I found Mr. potato head ish, but I got a pair for curiosity sakes. Very interested in the response to these as its a bit of a disguise.

    IMO I put it best when I told the optician/salesman - I dont want anything taking away from the visual splendor that is my face. Let's keep things minimal.

    I'll be testing them out on some high society broads next week - not socialites, mind you - but doctors, intellectuals, archaeologists, writers etc. Girls who carry their own weight.

    I'll keep you girls posted.

    Not feeling them, but going to try them. First impressions aren't everything
