My Hats

[Visigoth]

I've just discovered that the sunglasses I wear -- and bought new -- are now considered "vintage." Oy. They're the Rayban Innerview, from the eighties. A bit like the Wayfarer, but with pointier angles.

I just bought a pair of Persols on ebay; dying to see how they look when they arrive. After bidding, I did some research, and discovered that there is a modern vs. vintage controversy surrounding Persols: they used to be made by Ratti, but were bought out recently by Luxottica, a giant octopus of a firm. Some seem to think the Ratti glasses are better, although I haven't seen that demonstrated: I've also heard from opticians that the current Persols are the best lenses on the market.

Oh, and I bought this (new, Luxottica) model:

Is that picture really big or have you been immortalized on Mount Rushmore?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's gone- it's gone. It's been gone for months!
It was there for all of a week- at the beginning of summer.

Yeah, right. As of last night, that b/w picture of your face was really, really large. Today, however, it's small. Wonder how that happened?
