Glamatron

So, after finding out that, yes, I’d hit that point that I really had to get back into exercising and give up blended mochas–even though my joint makes them with nonfat frozen yogurt, I realized that my blog habit had given way to my exercise habit and there was Inanna keeping the Glamatron way of life together again.

But, anyway, one of the best things about contacts is not having to deal with glasses.  I always spend mega-bucks on hats and glasses because it takes forever to find a hat or pair of specs that looks good–or even passable–on me.

So, yes, there’s the basic face shape biz, but when it comes to glasses which you have to wear all the time, dressed up or down, face shape is only the beginning.  So for those of us with wide, angular faces and deep-set eyes–a few more notes:

1) Make sure the glasses actually fit the bridge of your nose.

2) Check where the top hits your eyebrows and make sure the look works. 

3) Celebrities are as blind as the rest of us.  If there’s one you look like, check out her eyewear. 

4) It’s all about scale.  But that doesn’t mean that big features mean big glasses, more that big features require dramatic glasses.  Inanna looks whimsically cute and hip in her catseye frames.  Put ‘em on me and I look like the dowdy librarian.  My eyes, frankly, just aren’t up to that much attention-getting.  My frames need to be big enough for my wide face, but quiet enough to not dominate it. 

Now excuse me while I coo nice things to my contacts.
