The people have spoken and Stephanie is pretty excited about it

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.

One of the funny things that happened after the votes started rolling in is that even though neither one of us let anyone know what our favorite overall glasses were, all of you who voted actually gave the most votes to the two pairs that we had our eyes on. Also, I was pretty surprised that the voting mob didn’t get any more crazy than they did considering that most people actually voted for their honest favorite, as opposed to voting for the most ridiculous pair that I posted(which is still up for debate).

The top-voted pair of glasses that was chosen by you fine Internet-loving, eyeglass-fashion gurus with 26 votes(46%) was #10 Classy And Educated, which also happens to be Stephanie’s favorite(figures). Coming in a distant second place with 10 votes(15%) was #5 Boxy, Square and Trendy, which was my favorite pair(even though I really dig #8 Black and Sophisticated, too which are very similar). Now that we’ve got that big decision taken care of, all we have to do now is stop back by the store and get these bad boys ordered. I have to admit though, I’m still a little torn between the top two pairs, which result in me buying them both. An early Christmas present perhaps?

Here are the pics of the two winners in case you need a little refresher:

#10 Classy And Educated (the overall top vote-getter and Stephanie’s fav)

#8 Black and Sophisticated (the runner-up and my fav)

Do you think that these are the glasses for me? Which pair would you pick between the two pairs? I’m still leaning towards the black ones…

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
