I PAID $3 for this pair of 1960s glasses at an op shop earlier this year. The optometrist laughed when I asked whether they could be fitted with my lenses. While making no bones about the fact he thought they were ugly, he humoured me and, da da, here they are with my lenses. They’re bold and people do tend to stare at me, or do that kinda double-take thing, but I like them, ugly ‘n’ all. And, I think, the optometrist has a new-found respect for me. He’s gone from ribbing me about my taste to being in awe of my wearing them. In public.
