I Need New Birth Control

…Glasses, that is.

As it happens, poor vision has reared its ugly head in my direction and my eyes no longer function in their 20/20 alpha style. I’ll blame it on time spent in front of this computer screen trying to crack funny jokes, make weird faces and please you. See? Never say I don’t love you. I’ve given up vision for you…vision! In any case, I’m not one to sulk in misery so I’ll turn my new handicap into a reason to shop, shop, shop (U.S. economy, never say I don’t love you, either) and ask you freaks to help me pick out some rad new frames. I’ve been an advocate of the birth control spec since I first laid eyes on Steve Urkel and while I won’t lie, I have a few pairs that have been allotted extra repeller points simply because they are non-prescription, it’s time to get serious. The above photo is from the Warby Parker Holiday Bazaar launch party that took place earlier this past week. Those dudes are doing great things, partnering with Suno and what have you. But back to what’s important, do you like these for my eyeballs? They’re called the Tenley. And, you know every time you buy a pair of Warby Parker specs a pair is donated to someone in need. They’re also only $95. Love a guilt free deal. So, what do you say?

    Have loved Warby Parker since reading about them in the New York Times in 2010. Unfortunately, they do not locate themselves north of the border. Very sad, yes, and I envy all you NYCers for having them so close by. And TMR so close by… Just saying. But, as a fellow blindee who gets the "sexy librarian" tag all the time (can't even go to the bar without my specs), I'd like to say go a bit smaller: Colton (bright orange, hullow!), Preston, Webb, Beckett, and Crosby. Those shapes would rock on you. They also happen to be my faves but, hey, I'm just the librarian in Canada…

    I am a wedding photographer and my dream in life is photograph your wedding. Because please tell me that once you're married, you won't stop trying to repel your groom? Also please tell me that there will be a big white dress…with layers? Pretty please?

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/10807862064389810409 heidimar

    PS: Also, the monocle? Has to be TMR approved, just has to. Maybe you should get one (or two) of those made and revolutionize the nerd.

    I had a pair very similar to these in the late '80s/early 90s, but I'm a guy. Back then women wore glasses that looked more like butterflies, with the sides attached toward the bottom of the lens. Those were industrial strength man repellers. Main thing I wanted to say is that I enjoy your blog immensely. You are very funny and write splendidly. Thank you very much for the laughs.
