So, I got me some new glasses!
About time too considering I got my old ones back in 2000 just before what's-his-name and I went to England for a holiday.
So it was time for a new era in eye wear. Fiona and I had looked uptown but they just weren't right. The same company had a store downtown just around the corner from me and there we found them. It's funny how the different areas of Manhattan have a whole different feel to them, each with their own type of people. Uptown is a much more conservative bunch than down here. And it's all reflected in the clothes, food, home wares, right down to the glasses, that are sold in the stores.
We took Kiki along with us because at seven she's actually pretty good at knowing what looks right. We didn't completely agree though. When it came down to the final two, she went for one and Fiona and I thought the other. They were the same style only the ones Kiki liked were purple and the ones I actually got were black and orange. Orange!!!! I can hear my Mum (and possibly Tracey Casey) cringing but they actually look pretty cool. Well that's what we think. And what with my new "do" to go along with it, well..................if I don't look like an East Villager then I don't know who does.
Actually I'm not all that sure what an East Villager looks like but Fiona tells me I look the part so I'm going go with that.
As you can see by the photo - I'm not actually in it. You can't really see the orange when I take one of me wearing them - this way you get a much better sense of what they look like.
