non–tinted prescription lenses in them. Today I picked up my glasses
(that have a slight cat eye thing going on) and they look so much
better on me than my old glasses (which I got 4 years ago and were
wire frames). I have a wide face and those wire frames did nothing for
my coloring.

Speaking of decades of fashion we now laugh at or dislike, I just went
through
the prescription eyeglass collection that I and my mother wore from the 60s
through the end of the 20th Century. I am donating the glasses to the Lions
Club, which then refits them with new lenses for needy people throughout
the world. My mother's cat eyes are a definite keeper but some of the
hideous glasses I wore in the 70s and 80s are gigantic. My daughters liked
the cat eyes and my 60s granny glasses. Eyeglasses take up little space so
I've
kept them and they're cases for so many years.

I've never used readers because I have a greater problem with distance even appreciate more at the nursing home.

Give 'em another 30–odd years and octagonal glasses will be seen on shape in the 80s.

While watching <u>Three Days of the Condor</u>, I noticed Max von Sydow's

Amen. For a few years, my mom had to get sunglass frames and just have ––
non–tinted prescription lenses in them. Today I picked up my glasses
(that have a slight cat eye thing going on) and they look so much
better on me than my old glasses (which I got 4 years ago and were
wire frames). I have a wide face and those wire frames did nothing for
my coloring.

because I saw a woman wearing them on a "Cheers" rerun and I had to
have 'em! (The woman was the beautiful Madolyn Smith. She played the
girlfriend, Pam, in "Urban Cowboy.")
Now that I think about it, I saw a female hair stylist on today's
episode of TLC's "A Makeover Story" who looked like a model –– very
tall, attractive face, long blond hair –– and perched on her nose were
these huge, square, black–rimmed glasses. It was an interesting effect
because the glasses were such a contrast to the rest of her look.

i LOVE my huge glasses, always have, and probably always will.
i still wear them and have them in a few different frame colors!

I love them, too! I recently bought a pair of huge "librarian" glasses i still wear them and have them in a few different frame colors!
