Yes, I do look in the mirror, and I happen to think that my over-sized glasses are pretty neat. And yes, they are prescription glasses. You would be amazed at how many positive comments I get in one day with these bad boys. Fashion should be fun and interesting, and I feel sorry for those of you who seem to take yourselves (and everyone else) way too seriously. And don’t judge a book by its cover! I probably think you’re swell, and I am a pretty decent human being too.

Kudos to you for not following trends and lovin’ your oversized glasses – fuck those rectangular horrors, aka clone specs because everyone and their fucking dog has them. Quelle borefest!
uh…. congrats?
do some people really think you’re not a decent human being because you wear oversized glasses?
I like big glasses. A lot.
I hate big glasses. A lot.
I appreciate you feeling sorry for me OP.
Nice to see your confident about your glasses. I just have to say that I have noticed people compliment others on clothing and/or accessories only to turn around and dis them behind their back. Especially when it comes to glasses and hats for some reason. Just say’n compliments aren’t always compliments. I am glad your happy with your “ridiculous specs”.
Who gives a rat’s hairy ass what anyone else thinks? Wear them proudly and fuck the titters of the rectangle clones.
Oooh, TTFN talked about MY ass for once. Red letter day…
Ok OP, you can quit the hipster twee act and level with us: you really got those huge glasses because all your friends were wearing them and you haven’t a single ounce of originality. Which belies the fact you *want* to have originality because you wear fashionably unfashionable over-sized eyeglasses.
Your glasses aren’t “neat”. But they do tell the world you are a trend follower, the key word being “follower”.
Individualists are all the same.
I’d wax that tooshie of yours, Mole Rat, and then go over it with a fine pair of tweezers.
who cares?
I for one love the giant nerdy hipster glasses a la kanye and jay-z and I think that generally the boys and girls who wear them look very cute. Fashion is fashion, its supposed to be fun. People making fun of you are just jealous because they don’t have the balls or the fashion sense to try something different.
P.S. following fashion does not make you a “follower” – it is the same as following anything else in life, like the news, or sports.
Do your cheeks need to see as well?
I really doubt that people making fun of big glasses are jealous. They think it makes people look ridiculous, so they are ridiculing them. There’s no reason to be jealous over fashion unless we are talking about items that are out of people’s financial reach…I don’t think big glasses are included in that category.
Also, I think following fashion by going out and wearing whatever is supposed to be in style right now, makes you a follower. It does not make you a mindless sheep, but you are still a follower.
I’m don’t follow fashion trends because I really see clothing as functional and I find it hard to justify buying a new wardrobe every season. Some styles are classic and have staying power. That’s boring to the fashionista perhaps, but practical for me.
I don’t care what people want to parade around town in. It’s not my business. But if you are going to dress like a clown, expect to get laughed at once in a while.
To be clear though, I would never make fun of a person or judge the quality of their character by what they are wearing. Nor should they judge me as jealous or gutless because I prefer my jeans non-skinny, my feet ugg-less and my glasses non-bug-like.
as long as they have prescription lenses otherwise your not just a follower, your a fake.
Do lenses cost a fortune or is the cut easier? My glasses are glued together several times over, I’d put anything on my face right now.
A-fucking-men.
Hey, Jim’s back!
I’m actually uber jealous of your oversized specs, OP.
Missed ya Jim.
If people are beating you down because you look like a bug-eyed bitch, you know the number to call….

That’s right. They started it, I’LL FINISH IT! And in case you didn’t know, I SUE DRUNKS!
Thanks guys, i missed you too. Life is so incomplete without a healthy, much needed daily dose of bitch.
All that hammering must tire you out, Jimbo. Glad to sees ya back.
People who wear big glasses when little glasses are in, and little glasses when big glasses are in are, like, totally better people, because they’re not, like, superficial because their, like, self-conscious fashion choices aren’t about how they look. Er, except that that’s exactly what they’re about. But it’s, like, different. Because they’re, like, better people, and they’re expressing that through their accessories and used clothing, which is totally not about appearances. Except that it is, because they’re, like, expressing who they are inside, on the outside. And those, like, conformist clones are merely wearing what they think suits their personalities and looks nice. Which is like, totally different and inferior, seriously!! Because their personalities are, like, inferior and shallow and that, like, means their glasses are too!

I still think Lynda Carter looked hot in her oversized glasses.
