I have worn glasses since I was 6 years old. My mother noticed that I was squinting down the driveway at our house, so during our next breakfast she put the Cheerios box on the kitchen counter across the room from me. She asked if I could read it. “Sure, it says Cheerios”. I couldn’t read it…but I knew what the damn box looked like.

I have an eye appointment on Friday and am in the market for some new frames. Rob and I went to the store today and I tried a whole bunch on in an effort to figure out which made me look “cool”, “funny”, “chic”, “edgy”. All of this and enough practicality to carry me through the next 2 - 3 years.

I made faces, he took pictures.

Vote, voice your opinion…a prize is to be had. Not sure what yet. But, I have a whole stash waiting to be loved.

There are 8 different frames, Labelled 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9….2 was too poopy to share. Actually others are probably too poopy to share as well however, at this point I could give a flying fart.

The Frame with the most votes wins. That is, unless I don’t like the final choice ;). Winner will be choosen at random.

The photos are located in my Flickr account, the first is here, scroll through to see the rest.

My future is in your hands. Godspeed.

  1. I like #4 and then #7. Either or.

  2. I really, really like #9. Did people look at you funny while you were having your pics taken in the store? :)

  3. hmm, did you know that being pregnant can screw with your intra-occular pressure and effect how your lenses are curved? it might not be the best time to get your glasses changed. i was thinking of getting new glasses too while i have health insurance (thank god for state programs for pregnant women) but i didn’t want to end up with a prescription that didn’t work once the baby was born.

  4. I like 1 and 4…they look like the perfect size for your face.

  5. Ditto what Wendy said about preggo-eyes - my script always changes noticibly when preggo. Regardless, I vote for frame choice #1 hands down (eyes down?)

  6. I vote for #4 and #7, those are my most favorite ones for you.

  7. i say 4 or 7, as well.

  8. hahahahahaha you’re such a goofball.

    hmmm i like the shape of #1 but i like the color of #7.

    i need to get new frames myself. maybe i should have a contest.

  9. Honest to bob, you are so damned CUTE! In my opinion, you could wear all of them. All of them together or singularly. Or none. Or every. That is how cute you are.
    I know. I’m useless. I can’t help myself. I just had to tell you you are cute.
    That is all.

  10. all look good, but I like #1.

  11. I like #7 the best. Though they are all really cute! I just like a bit of color.

  12. I like #1 the best, definitely!

  13. #1 no doubt about it.

  14. Definitely #1. (You might want to get a spare pair… my daughter has broken at least five pairs of my own glasses since she was born five years ago… most little ones REALLY like glasses.)

  15. They all look fine…except the red ones. Could be a personal aversion though. I knew a couple of strange women and they both wore those Sally Jessie Raphael glasses. Ugh.

    My favorite is #1.

  16. I like #1(DK1519) and #9, the little oval ones. I think I’m leaning towards #9, but I think they’re both perfect. You are so friggin adorable!

  17. I like #1 & #9. I’m going to the eye doctor tomorrow & will be picking out glasses myself soon. Don’t all the choices they have make it even harder?

  18. #1, definitely. And you do look adorable!

  19. #3 (second choice would be #1)

  20. I like #4 the best

  21. Numero 4!

  22. Okay, I think something is wrong with my puter LOL. I couldn’t find numbers 3, 5, 6, and 7. All I found was frames 1, 4, 8 and 9… and from those I liked the little Oval ones best… I think that was number 9 wasn’t it…
    Cheers Eva

  23. I forget which number they are but I liked the Prada ones.

  24. I would definitely say one. is that the lens crafters in Brookline, it looks familiar.

  25. I like 7, then 1 then 4. You look good in all of them - I would stay away from the red ones though, I did that once it didn’t work out very well.

  26. Having just gone through the search for the perfect sunglasses, I have to vote #9. You look good in them. :) Not that you didn’t look good in the others, you just look better in pair #9. Um, I’m going to be quiet now.

  27. Number 1 baybee

  28. I like 1 and 4. I think you look best in the darker colored ones. They frame out your face nicely.

  29. #1. Def-def-definitely.

  30. #9 (though I also kind of like the red ones).

    And little ones will definitley pull glasses. My daughter is almost two and when she gets mad she tries to rip my glasses off and fling them.

  31. I was torn betwen 1 and 6, but I think 6 edges 1 out just barely.

  32. #1’s my favorite, #4 would be my second choice. Great idea to get all these opinions! (although perhaps it’s overwhelming?)

  33. #1 or #9…..

    #9 definitely number nine. :)

  34. Let me be the millionth person to say #1 (4 and 7 are also nice, but #1 really seems to suit you!)

  35. Number 1, definitely. And yes, small ones LOVE to pull on glasses, slobber on them, twist them and fling them, so a spare pair is a must.

  36. Okay, I say 3 or 9. I’m not crazy about the pinkish ones and 4 is too square. If I have to go with just one choice let’s make it 9. I love 9.

  37. I like 1 too. The red ones are the only ones I didn’t care for.

  38. i like #1.

  39. Wow, I guess I’m the only person that prefers #5. #1 was my second choice. You look very cute in all of them. I hate picking glasses, I can try on the same pair 3 times and hate it twice and love it once. Something about all those frames and mirrors makes me a little crazy.

  40. I like the more rectangler look, so I prefer
    #3 - DY4531 and #7 - VPR18G 2nd.

    (I think you might have mis-labelled the last couple of closeup pictures…I think some of the Frame #1’s should be Frame #7’s)
