I went to a concert this weekend — a very uncharacteristically cool and young activity for the likes of me, but it was great fun. I was sitting on the aisle so I kept being stepped on or over by people as they made their way to the bar or out for a smoke. At one point, a drunk guy with an enormous beer-belly paused in his efforts to squeeze past me long enough to say, “Hey. Great glasses. Beautiful.”
I’ve been feeling insecure about my new glasses ever since I got them, so I was quite flattered that the guy took the time to compliment them.
Drunk? Absolutely.
Sarcastic? Possibly.
Will I take it? You betcha.

I agree with Maude: you gotta post a picture of those glasses! I’m about to buy my first pair since 2000. I want to go for geeky-girl cool, but I’m afraid I won’t be able (too old? neither geeky nor cool enough?) to pull them off.

Oh, I’d love to post a picture but I’m afraid that it might give away my Secret Identity. Unlike Clark Kent, I think people would might able to identify me by my glasses frames. I just have to leave you in suspense …
