This July, I'm going to be in Niagara Falls for a few days to attend a small blogger convention - the Blog Friends Festival. (Wanna come? Please come!) So, of course, I need great glasses and a haircut. (Yes, I'm aware that the haircut won't last until July. This way I can find something I love -and- bonus! figure out how to do it before I get there.)
I scored on the glasses.
My last pair was six years old. They were purchased right after the Harry Potter round specs fad finally went out, so they were rounded rectangular, a pinky-coppery metal, and designed so they didn't show up so much. Here. See? Unobtrusive.
Not so these. My new glasses are not shy. They are forward-thinking and opinionated, and if you ask, they will tell you what they think.
Or at least that's how I feel in them. Smart and sassy.
And I am sick in love with them. They are maroon. With bling. And curlicues. These are the first not-so-serious glasses I think I've ever had, and I love them. To the point of being gushy.
Bear smiled. 'I like your new glasses.' he said.
I launched into the Loving Of The Specs, Part One: 'Did you see the bling? On the sides? And they're red! And they make me feel smaht! And did you see the blinginess of them?'
He looked a little bewildered. 'Bling?"
I waved my hand at the side of my face. 'The crystals! On the temples! They look so cool!'
(Coming from a woman who is so indifferent about jewelry I often don't wear my wedding ring, this is a big change.)
Mine are maroon-red, and the bling on the side? Much blindier.
I smiled all day. Aren't they yummy?

Very cool!
I waaaants them, Precious!
Wow! Face jewelry.
They are beyond yummy! They are scrumpdili-icious.
WHERE'S THE PIC OF YOU WEARING THEM? HUH?
Wow. Almost make me wish I wore glasses!
Like, totally sick, dude.
And very blingy.
Neato! They do have spunk and attitude!
They are beautiful. Truly. I once almost had myself convinced I needed glasses so that I might get to enjoy the pull-on-personality of whatever you choose. Alas, DAMNED 20/20! I had been alergic to the eye makeup I was wearing at the time. Your glasses say, "I am Me, get outta my way!" don't break them while rockin out in your car, dude.
I WANT NEW GLASSES. My DH just got some cool new hipster glasses. YOU just got some cool new hipster glasses. My glasses are at least 4 years old and I can't read street signs with them and I WANT SOME NEW ONES RIGHT NOW.
Ahem.
Ang - After I get A) the new haircut and B) new batteries for the camera. I tried last night but all I could get were vague reddish images - batteries are WAY low.
Snazzy specs! And Niagara Falls? There's an outside chance I could be there then! That's the Frozen North where my OC has his cave away from home!
Oh I love those! I need some new glasses. Maybe I should get some bling. I too wear so little jewerly that I often forget to wear my wedding ring.
Very yummy.
1 - LOVE the glasses.
2 - A blogger fest in Niagara Falls? Oh, I am SO THERE!
3 - would LOVE to see a picture of you WEARING your new blingy glasses. Please?
Your new glasses are gorgeous!!
Found you via Jen :)
Oh I LOVE those glasses! Fabulous choice!
Thanks for the "sorry". So strange that these words from someone I don't really "know" mean so much, but they do. thanks.
You're coming to BFF? You don't have to get all fancy for us, girl. God knows I won't be, gien how ginormous I'm likely to be by then... But then, Sandra is always gorgy, so there is that to deal with.
We are all glasses wearers around here. And how cute are you!!
Whoa! They are soooo cool!
Very, very cool.
