here's a bonus pic, just because I was uploading them (too late for Photo Friday's 'quiet' theme, alas...)

Wow. Those kick ass!

Are they any good?

They look great, lfr! I love the shape of those frames. Alas, my face is too round for that style.

Snazzy.

gnfti, i spent the whole day in them @ work today; they are comfortable, the prescription is dead accurate and I suffered no headaches, 'break-in' or adjustment period, even rode the bike home with them on.

haven't had a new set of specs for nigh on fifteen years, done mainly contacts (which I do prefer, but need a break from from time to time).

they're a little narrow (horizontally, that is) for general cycling use, but not dreadfully so. if your question was quality related, then I certainly have no complaints.

Gorgeous!

I love the frames. You look beautiful. They're almost like Ashleigh Banfield's, but better.

*blushes* aw, gee thanks for all the awesome compliments bunnies!

Lori, the best part is that frames, Rx, shipping and the whole enchilada was just forty ducats from the linky up top. Praise be to MeFi.

I love 39 glasses.com! I've bought more than a few frames from this site for my kids. My vision is good, but when the macular degeneration kicks in I'm buying frames like these.

Very sharp! They really suit you. 'Course it helps that you're lovely to start with :)

Actually, that's not a sucky photo. I'd think the manufacturers would want photos of such normal, hawt peoples advertising their wares. It's a neato self portrait, and you should be proud.

I KNEW you'd love my shopping cart! amirite?! your words of admiration are for my gorgeously moody, rusty, crusty, sad, abandoned shopping-cart picture... right? right?!

hm. well afterall, yanno I **did** shoot that particular pic with your 'quiet' theme in mind, CF :)

It's a little underexposed, but it is in no way a bad self-portrait. Obligatory come-on line:

Nice specs. They'd look great on my nightstand.

Forgive me, lfr. Your picture is very nice (and fits the quiet theme perfectly!). I'm hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for being distracted from it.

Huge LOL at chuckdarwin.

They do suit you very well, lfr! You look great!

Loverly!
