Gratuitous Colorado Porn and a Question
The camping trip my brother and I planned went terribly. Snow. Ice. Fishing poles engineered from aspen saplings. I would guess it was around -129° F or so.
That may be an exageration.
But the waterfall froze.
As did everything else. Check out my Facebook page for the rest. I’m trying to get them on Flickr later.
Anyway, the point of this post, I have decided is something else entirely.
I think I need glasses. Now, if I had to say what I look like, I would have to say you should imagine something between “Yippy ki yay, motherfucker” and “I live my life a quarter mile at a time.” Only with a more square shaped face.
Questions for the women:
So what the hell kind of glasses would I put on?
Do they make badass glasses? Seriously, I Google image searched every query I could think of.
If a man is built like a linebacker, what glasses would you like to see on him?
Assumptions:
Contacts are out of the question, I only need the lens conditionally. They have to be a little tough, since my lifestyle is pretty extreme. The glasses can’t have color or crazy style flourishes.

Not everything went badly – that pic is awesome. As for glasses, I picked up a pair of specs made by Converse recently and the general female consensus is that they are cool. For me anyways. Your mileage might vary.

My only advice to you is go to a store and start trying on different pairs until you like what you see in the mirror. It’s how I bought mine.

Can you take a girl to pick them out with you who will not set you up to look like a doofus? Wire frames are hot.

Anaglyph: There are a lot more on the Flickr page, but I would say I ruined about two-thirds of them by shivering. It was booger freezing cold. I didn’t know the shoe companies had got in on the glasses market.
EM: I’m sure it will come down to me just flipping a coin and then getting used to whatever kind of dweeb I look like afterward.
crseum: I hadn’t thought of the “take a girl with you” strategy that has worked so well in the pants buying racket. I should be able to hustle one up. And the consensus has more or less been wire frames.

great image!
as for the glasses, taking a friend is a good idea, as is visiting a gay optometrist – they have the coolest selection :-)
don’t rush into wire frames until you’ve tried on something with a bit more body. I know you want to avoid ‘crazy’ but don’t aim for ’safe yet boring’ either

Myra: I was looking at some of the polycarbonate frames out there. They seem pretty stout. We’ll see how it goes. You keep the corset pictures coming and there may be a picture of me pimping out the nerd frames.
