geek glasses

I've become obsessed with glasses. I've had them for 22 years, but have usually worn contacts since 6th grade. My prescription is ridiculous! -8.5! That's terrible! So the lenses alone cost like $400. I've been picking up vintage glasses at thrift stores for years, I don't know why, I just think they are fun. I paid to get anti-glare lenses with no prescription in my vintage American Optical horn-rimmed glasses. Then a friend who works at an optical store told me he could shove lenses in the rest of my vintage frames FOR FREE... so be prepared for a lot of kooky glasses to make an appearance over the next few weeks. In return I am secretly designing a shirt for him that will have a reverse mermaid on it (fish on top, legs on the bottom). It's ridiculous and so funny!
