A Retrospective in Spectacles

[mixfinder]

Doubt?

I knew at 19, ran during the first marriage, horrible rejection from the other team in the 70's, remarried in 78 and knew but hid and felt I had a covenent with God because of the amazing children, everywhere I went people assumed and accused, I was judged and never enjoyed the crime, came out in 2004, met some one who actually thinks I am attractive, marvels I was still the Vestal Virgin in my 50's and oddly enough act straighter out than when I was in. Go figure.

indeed, aged very gracefully, though i DO like the hairdo in the first panel.

These are definitely your best years, appearancewise Kelly! I didn't realize you baked professionally. No wonder you're such a whiz with all that stuff!

I have no intention of giving up my fake hair, but if I did I'd most definitely have to go with the shaved head, as I believe you are now doing as well.

The Best is Yet to Come

A world wide study concluded that at 57 people are the happiest. No kids, more money, relative good health and you understand the rules of engagement. Life is easier and more rewarding each year you get older.

And Kelly,.....

This is your life!
Thank you for bringing us down memory lane. How very interesting.
You have captured many Kodak moments in your life, and I am sure there will be more in your future.
Life it way too short not to enjoy.

Kelly, great thread. Glasses in the USA were a bit bigger than overhere in Europe I guess especially in the late seventies, early eighties. I saved most of the glasses I had. Here's a picture of the ones I still have. At the front is the oldest I have and so it goes from front to back, the last one being the current one I am wearing. Brands: Skaga, Brendel (this one is actually broken in the middle), again Brendel, unknown, Giorgio Armani, Matsuda, Dolce & Gabbana and ic berlin. Sometimes when I bought new ones the old ones were converted into sunglasses. The blue glasses in the Matsuda frame was for computer use.

And here are a few pictures of me with glasses.

I am a goof. Anytime I think I find something outside the US it will have a cooler style and be like nothing anyone can find. I like the glasses and have thought of the brushed steel look like your newest pair.

I have a wonderful optometrist. I just tell him what I don't want and then he picks a few frames out for me. This was number three when I went there to choose a new frame, we were done within five minutes.

The "ic berlin" collection is great, all variations on the same theme but all having their own character. Mine is model Paul, which was taken out of the collection. New in their product line are the colored plastic frames. Mine is very light weight, quite a difference with the older glasses. "ic berlin" frames are sold in the USA too.
