The Bookish Girl

The Polling was rigged!!! ~ 2006-09-21

Vicky! Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways. I seem to have labelled the #7 frames toward the end of the set (the Prada ones, you can see it written on the lens) wrong. They were (it has since been fixed) labelled #1. The REAL #1 is the first picture in the set and a few other pictures (now properly labelled) toward the back of the set (Donna Karen written on the lens).

This only worries me because A LOT of the votes (over half) have been for #1 and NOW I DON’T KNOW WHICH YOU MEANT – The REAL #1 or #7.

Please feel free to vote again, this has been a great eye-opener (am I the funniest girl alive, or what?). Your name will be entered in the contest AGAIN. And yes, people probably laughed at us but if you have ever spent any time with us in public you would know that this is by far the least most embarrassing thing we’re capable of. And also, thank you for telling me I’m so cute. You sure know how to make a girl happy. I was trying to figure out which of my ancestors to disown for breeding multiple chins!!! Oh and the Red ones – TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT SALLY…thank you all for your wisdom during this time of crisis.

My appointment is tomorrow and I’ll probably head back to the store after work. I do know about the eyeball changing super power that I now have as a pregnant woman. I have needed new glasses for over a year now and I’m not too worried about a wrong prescription. If the Dr freaks…I’ll wait. But, otherwise I cannot wait another 6-9 months for the eyeballs to regain their former selves.
Also, my server is kind of a pooper sometimes. If you’re having a hard time leaving me a comment you can always click on the contact button in the upper right corner of your screen. This will send an email speeding off to bookish girl central. Just be sure to leave something in the subject that will clue me in to the nature of your email…

To avoid further confusion:

Here are the top vote getter’s in order of popularity

Frame #1 – I’m worried these frames are too big for my face…
Frame #1

Frame #4 – I’m not so lazy eyed in real person…
Frame #4
Frame #7 – are these too trendy?
Frame #7

Frame #9 – I like these but I’m afraid they’re not much of a departure from my current pair…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I’m just trying to not be so conservative.
Frame #9

    i like the #1′s.. the real number ones, as labelled in this post.
    i don’t think they are too big for your face-i think they are cute/fun/sophisticated..

    and as a side note, my eyes actually got better with my first pregnancy and slightly better still with my second!!

    I definitely prefer the REAL #1. I think the Prada frames are a little more severe…or something. But they are all pretty darn cute, so you probably can’t go wrong either way.

    Also, I got a new perscription in January and got pregnant in May. I’m about 5 months along now, and my perscription hasn’t changed at all…my eyes seems to get more irritated by my contacts now, so I wear my glasses more often, but other than that, no change in vision.

    Also, I totally meant “prescription” not “perscription.”

    OK, I’m done now.

    I really like the #1′s from this post – I don’t think they are too big for your face at all. Very flattering, not too trendy and I think they’re kinda classic.

  6. PumpkinMama says:

    I’m still for #1, with #9 being my second choice, but I think #1 are funkier and less traditional, which I like.

  7. Rebecca says:

    Out of those 4, I really like #4, so I am switching my vote. And there is a contest? I must have skipped over that in the other post. I think I should get more chances because I was voting to do my blogging duty. Just kidding!

    i’m going with #7. love them. don’t think they are too trendy.

    Tie. Compared like that, glasses 1 and 9 look great on you. So if you feel like the conservative go for 9 and if you’re feeling a little trendier (not toooooo trendy) go for 1. :) Of course, I am partial to the whole faux tortoiseshell look.

    All look good, but #1 look the best.

    I going for #9. This is changing my mind from the first vote.

  12. Debbie says:

    I still like #9 and 1, in that order. I have some fairly similar to #9, so that might be why I’m biased. Mine are a dark red (not Sally red) and you can get them in lots of pretty colors that are subtle but funky. Plus, I prefer wee small glasses.

    But I think they’re both great. I like the tortise shell #1s on you, the color looks nice with your hair. They’re not too big at all.

    number 4! I think I tried to vote yesterday but really was trying waaay too hard, opened a window in the wrong spot and lost the comment. So anyway. #4.

    #1…you look like Bono in #7. No offense, I think he’s cute, but you look better in #1.

  17. lisa Co. Springs says:

    Definitely 7—no doubts.

  18. janna says:

    I couldn’t decide yesterday — maybe I was subliminally confused or something!

    Anyway — I like both #1 and #9 about equally. If you want a change, I’d say go with #1.

  19. allison says:

    I like #7. The Prada ones. And I think you should have the Prada sticker on them so that everyone will know that you are wearing Prada glasses. Yeah!

    I like #4, classic and a great shape on you.

    Comment - September 21, 2006 : 4:29 pm

  21. Becca says:

    I have to go with #4. The #1 reminds me way too much of the glasses the army issued me in basic training.

  22. Donna says:

    I’m still liking #1 the best; I don’t think they’re too big. I also like #4, so go with your heart – glasses are a big decision!

    #1, i think. they’re awfully cute and they don’t seem too big for your face in the photo.

  24. Meg says:

    I still like the **real** #1′s. The #9′s are cute, but the #1′s just have that extra zing.

  25. Amanda Cathleen says:

    you are too funny! #1 looks fantastic on you, the frames just have something about them that make them special.

  26. Marlene says:

    Definately number 1. It’s similar in size and basic shape as #4 but I think the tortise shell is a better fit with your skin and hair color. I think #9 is the wrong shape for your face, and #7? I don’t care for the boxy corners. A rounded corner looks more um…..approachable? Keep in mind though that I am 46 years old and my age may be playing a part in my biases.

  27. Julie says:

    I still really love #9. I like the shape for your face.

  28. michelle says:

    I too love #9 with the shape of your face. I did not vote yesterday for whatever reason the pictures would not load for me.

  29. Eva (EvaLux) says:

    I’d go for #1 or #9. Somehow I prefer things that aren’t so severe and very angular frames tend to come across as severe to me :)
    Maybe it is not one of your ancestors, but your “future” that is doing the double chin thing right now LOL.
    Cheers Eva

    Still like #1! I don’t think they are too big for your face. They’re tortoiseshell, right? Cute!

  31. Deborah C. says:

    I still vote for #1. I don’t think they’re too big for your face and anyway, you get more viewing are with the slightly bigger lens (can you tell I wear glasses?). So, #1 for me.

    Long time reader, first time commenter……
    But I had to jump in to vote for #7…Super. Cute. And they look sturdy enough to withstand grabby little baby fingers !!

  33. caro says:

    I remain firm. #4, then #7.

  34. Martha says:

    I still like the *real* #1s the best. #4′s still my second choice, but I think the frames are too dark for your coloring. #7 is too big, in that they are too wide for your face, and #9, well, I just like the square frames better.

    Comment - September 22, 2006 : 9:14 am

  35. Kellee says:

    I still vote #1. Hands down.

  36. Nanc says:

    Number 7! That’s the winner, IMHO. And I’m jealous that you can pull them off so nicely. (I cannot.)

    Comment - September 22, 2006 : 10:44 am

  37. Monica says:

    Still #1. The color is softer than full on black and I like the shape on you.

  38. anne says:

    I’m gonna go with number 4, myself. Cute!

  39. Joan says:

    I like #1. Fabulous on your face. #9 is great too, but if you’re looking for more funky, I say #1.

    Number one. Absotively.

  41. Kathy says:

    My favorite is definitely #1. They look great on your face (which *is* pretty darn cute!)

    Comment - September 23, 2006 : 10:49 pm

  42. bernie says:

    I like Frame #1. They flatter your face the best, in my opinion. I wear eyeglasses too, and I always bring others along for opinions. I don’t trust myself to choose.
