The Polling was rigged!!!
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 #4 - I’m not so lazy eyed in real person…
Frame #7 - are these too trendy?
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.

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.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:26 pm
Also, I totally meant “prescription” not “perscription.”
OK, I’m done now.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:28 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:31 pm
I’m still for #1, with #9 being my second choice, but I think #1 are funkier and less traditional, which I like.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:35 pm
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!
21 Sep 2006 at 2:35 pm
i’m going with #7. love them. don’t think they are too trendy.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:38 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:42 pm
All look good, but #1 look the best.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:49 pm
I going for #9. This is changing my mind from the first vote.
21 Sep 2006 at 2:54 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 3:02 pm
I still like the #1 - I don’t think they’re too big!
21 Sep 2006 at 3:02 pm
Lucky 7 baybeeee!
21 Sep 2006 at 3:12 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 3:17 pm
#1…you look like Bono in #7. No offense, I think he’s cute, but you look better in #1.
21 Sep 2006 at 3:35 pm
Definitely 7—no doubts.
21 Sep 2006 at 3:57 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 4:18 pm
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!
21 Sep 2006 at 4:23 pm
I like #4, classic and a great shape on you.
21 Sep 2006 at 4:29 pm
I have to go with #4. The #1 reminds me way too much of the glasses the army issued me in basic training.
21 Sep 2006 at 4:41 pm
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!
21 Sep 2006 at 5:44 pm
#1, i think. they’re awfully cute and they don’t seem too big for your face in the photo.
21 Sep 2006 at 6:29 pm
I still like the **real** #1’s. The #9’s are cute, but the #1’s just have that extra zing.
21 Sep 2006 at 6:58 pm
you are too funny! #1 looks fantastic on you, the frames just have something about them that make them special.
21 Sep 2006 at 7:14 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 7:34 pm
I still really love #9. I like the shape for your face.
21 Sep 2006 at 7:50 pm
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.
21 Sep 2006 at 8:53 pm
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!
21 Sep 2006 at 10:39 pm
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.
22 Sep 2006 at 8:35 am
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 !!
22 Sep 2006 at 8:41 am
I remain firm. #4, then #7.
22 Sep 2006 at 9:02 am
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.
22 Sep 2006 at 9:14 am
I still vote #1. Hands down.
22 Sep 2006 at 9:22 am
Number 7! That’s the winner, IMHO. And I’m jealous that you can pull them off so nicely. (I cannot.)
22 Sep 2006 at 10:44 am
Still #1. The color is softer than full on black and I like the shape on you.
22 Sep 2006 at 11:46 am
I’m gonna go with number 4, myself. Cute!
22 Sep 2006 at 12:07 pm
I like #1. Fabulous on your face. #9 is great too, but if you’re looking for more funky, I say #1.
22 Sep 2006 at 12:46 pm
Number one. Absotively.
23 Sep 2006 at 9:07 am
My favorite is definitely #1. They look great on your face (which *is* pretty darn cute!)
23 Sep 2006 at 10:49 pm
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.
