Just found this thread - here’s [mine](http://www.fotolog.com/bwanabob/17206359) taken a year ago.  
The beard is now gone and my son is bigger. 😉

Trust Dopers to rock the specks! See, because my glasses are darned near invisible, I have to wear makeup anyway! Well, to work, and stuff. I hardly ever wear makeup on weekends unless we’re going “out”–I don’t include the Wal-Mart and Publix run as going out.

[This is me](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2247/2191392276_e29d8283b4_o.jpg) in icon format. I don’t have access to the bigger pic now.

I like my glasses - I feel like my face looks too round without them. Although I desperately could use some new frames - these are extremely icky and old by now. One of these days I’ll figure out how to use my health insurance and do it.

**freckafree** - you are one bold lady! 😃 Everyone really looks so cool in their glasses here, I think.

I fell in love with them as soon as I saw the detail on the sides. I have two other pairs that I wear less often - one pair of Transitions for summer and sunny days, and a pair of more businesslike glasses to wear when I want to be taken seriously.

Me, and my gorgeous husband, naturally. This is where we met, 6 years ago this month. AWWW. Oh, and you can see my glasses quite well.

This is the only picture I can find of me in glasses but I wear them more than I don’t wear them. I’m pretty blind. [craponacracker](http://flickr.com/photos/lesliek615/2190737159/)

More cool frames! **lobstermobster** , your glasses look amazing on you. I _wish_ I could wear bolder frames.

I am a huge fan of the [“librarian look.”](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/Missbunny11/Librarian-before-1.jpg)

When I bought them I told the salesman, upon putting them on, that they were so “librarianish”; and he acted like that was a bad thing. He was all, “Oh no, you look good in them.” So I had to tell him I liked looking like a librarian. Lots of guys find it strangely alluring. 😉

Hi. I like books. Could you point me to something… engaging? 🙂
