It seems as if old age has finally caught up with me and I find myself in need of glasses. The optician told me so.
I could let myself feel down about this but no! I have decided that I will embrace my eye sight assisted future (if lack of depth perception allows me to) and use it to reinvent myself! Glasses give me the opportunity for a new look and a fresh start. But which look? There are so many. Which one should I choose?

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

I think the dutch glasses should be orange, but the snob glasses suit you the best ;)
Definitely the 80’s 3D. Save you money at the theater since every stinkin movie is now in 3D
The hippy is making a fashion comeback!
Gee, that’s a tough one…I admit to being a bit biased towards the Rapper style due to the frames being in red (my favorite color). Maybe you could get the grillz and the bling-bling to go with them?
Get your eyes lazered and then you can have any fashion rims you like. You missed the Elton John, which was my first ocular style misfunction (aged 12. Straight. Not good..and I was so sure they were me)
I think the more important and confusing question is why you didn’t immediately ask for rapper-style glasses. I mean really, come on now!
absolutely the Fabulous!
Iooryz -I’ll let you in on a secret. They are the ones I am planning to get. Don’t tell anyone.
Ebe – And 80’s 3D was so much better then the 3D today.
Dave2 – Sounds like I’m just in time.
French Bean – I’ll have more bling-bling then Mr T.
Jimbo – Sounds like that must have lead to some interesting reactions.
Yvette – I know. they just didn’t have my gangs colour at the time.
Suus – Super!
What? No rhinestone cat-eye glasses? I think you should avoid the rapper style, just because you seem to be accident-prone already. I would think the limited visibility would just make things so much worse!
With a name like Invader Stu, you’re kind of obligated to go for the General.
You’ve forgotten the ‘Geordi Laforge’. Beats 80s 3D anytime
The Fabulous .. but I shall have to second Bart’s suggestion for a Georgie La Forge.
Alison – You’re right. I should have done those. With any luck glasses might make me less accident-prone (but then I would have less to write about) :p
Jules – Very true.
Bart & Unexpected Traveller – Funnily enough I was planning to draw the La Forge glasses but this post was already taking me a lot longer then planned.
And have you decided yet?
AstridQK – Indeed I have. As I am writing this I am wearing the snob glasses but with out the smoking jacket and wine (because I am at work).
