I’m No Michael Douglas

In 2016 I’m planning on getting new glasses and after watching the movie Ant Man I thought I had my new frames all picked out. The Clear Advocates looked awesome on Michael Douglas as the character Hank Pym. Well, those frames came in from OldFocals.com the other day and as it turns out I’m no Michael Douglas.

Donna never did like them from the get go, but I did still like them on my face. I thought they looked good. I admit that I think they look better when I see them on my face when I look in the mirror than I think they do in the photo above.

I took my perspective new glasses to work to get some opinions. My first stop was the company fashionista. At first she was not too thrilled, but after a few swaps back and forth between the Clear Advocates and my current frames she admitted they weren’t so bad. Next stop was my department which consists of all male engineers and the results were anywhere from what the heck to interesting to I like them. After that came the ladies in Accounting with similar mixed results.

After all that, the frames went back to California in the mail. They creaked every time you folded back the temple pieces. It was because of the construction. The metal nose bridge was held in slots in the Lucite lens pieces by screws. They just felt cheap and I usually wear the same pair for a couple years, I didn’t think these would have lasted that long.

The hunt continues…
