Help Hup choose his new glasses by voting now

Last week I headed over to the eye doctor, or the Optometrist as most people call them, so that I could get my eyes checked out. As many of you can imagine, I spend a majority of my time staring at computer screens and I hear that this practice isn’t exactly healthy for your eyesight. I figured that the damage wasn’t too bad since I don’t have any trouble reading and using a computer, but my ability to read anything from a distance(especially at night) has really gotten pretty bad here lately. During my appointment the optometrist told me that I definitely needed some glasses, although I don’t have that strong of a prescription(R -0.75 RS L -1.00-.050 e180 if anyone’s interested).

Today me and Stephanie decided to go and get our glasses shopping on so we headed to place here in Palo Alto called Peninsula Optical Co. A really cool guy named Greg helped us out and we had a lot of fun trying on a bunch of the frames that we thought might work. Probably a little too much fun if that’s possible.

Two of the pairs were definitely our favorites, but we thought that it would be fun to see what each of you think about them, too. So, we posted pics of the some of the glasses that I tried on so that you can tell us which pair you think looks the best, too. To let us know which one you think I should buy take a look at the 15 pics below and then cast your vote at the bottom of this post. Who knows, maybe your votes will make us change our minds about the ones that we’re set on. I’ll let you know the two pairs that we like in a later post after we get some votes in. Thanks for playing along and thanks for your vote! :)

#1 Small, Black and Feminine

#2 Child Molesters

#3 Red Hot, Hip and Euro

#4 Harry Caray Retro Specials

#5 Boxy, Square and Trendy

      only the images for 1, 3, 14 and 15 are displaying for me. can’t say i’m a huge fan of any of them.

      i actually assumed i’d like the trendy ones on you, but they don’t seem quite right after all.

      of the four i can see, i hate to say it, but i kind of like the feminine ones. ha.

      why have i never thought of this? my eyes are so bad that when i try on glasses, i have to be right against the mirror to get just an idea of what i look like.

      I can only see 1, 3, 14 and 15 too! Can’t say I’m fond of any of those. Need to see the other pics.

      Me too! Now I looked at them all on FB but again, not sure what you have named each one of the pix.

      Whoops, I broke the Internets…sorry about that. Made some changes and now you should be able to see them all. Let me know if they’re still not showing up.

      Jdub - how did I know that you were going to go Euro? I’m actually surprised that you didn’t go with the red ones. :)

      10 as my first choice. 5 as a runner up.

      it definitely helps the look when you make less-goofy faces ;)

      Looks like #10 is taking it…over 40% of the votes. They are actually Giorgio Armani:

      The Molesters would be my personal pick, but I’ll go with black and sophisticated…like Hup.

      […] Last week me and Stephanie went to go check out the selection of glasses after I found out that my vision isn’t exactly what it used to be. We had so much fun trying on practically every pair of glasses in the store, we decided to snap some pics of me wearing them and let all of you vote on which pair you thought that I should end up buying.
