"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I actually thought about a pair of frameless ones but thought that would look awkward with the thick lens.

OK, that's what mine are like, too, and I go for the lightest frames I can to add as little as possible to the inevitable weight of the lenses. Which inevitably leads me back to go titanium, choose titanium.

I will say I get a lot of compliments on my purple semi-cateye plastic frames.

I think I tried to get frameless once and was told it wouldn't work with my thick lenses.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

BTW, Lee, I bought some US to EU plug adapters. None of my electronics require a converter, but I think we'll need the plug adapters to fit US prong to EU round pin

I did that too. I will send you the information on what I have when I get home, though I suspect with us and electronics, too much might be just right.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'd never seen a cateye in a metal frame. And I can't wear plastic because the bridge of my nose was too small. The titanium frame comes in a smaller size so I think it would fit me better and I'm looking at getting the gunmetal color, so my only hesitation at this point is that I'm basically getting a totally different frame than the one I looked at.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, so speaking of getting emails that aren't meant for you...

I just got one with the subject like "Bridesmaid belt options." It's sent to 5 people, including me. The email text reads "Alright girls, I have attached several belt options. Choose one." And there are 9 photos of sparkly belts attached.

The question isn't *Do* I troll them; the question is: how HARD do I troll them?

I think you should counter that there ISN'T ENOUGH SPARKLE and provide photos of the most hideous sparkly belts that you can find.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You should suggest bandoliers instead.

Bridesmaid sparkly belts?? WTF is this world coming to?

Though I realized the other day on a comment thread about "what is the most expensive piece of clothing/accessory you've ever bought" thread that the answer was a freakin' bridesmaid dress. It was something like $200? Which I guess is not that bad as bridesmaid dresses go, but still...
