Well...turns out I'm near sighted and now need glasses for driving and seeing distances. So what kind of glasses should I get? I'm thinking something kind of bold and artsy.

You can always get contacts.

Thick square rims seems to be the fashion thesedays.

Also the advantage of thick rims is you can get cheaper thicker lenses rather than them high index ones. The lenses end up costing more than the frames in some cases.

From all the pictures you have put up, I cant see you in anything delicate and wire rimmed. Maybe something square-ish, and definately bold or dark colored.
Man, hot chick in glasses. Gotta love it

Hey, I get passes, and I've worn glasses for decades. Have no fear!

The current "style" for women runs along the rectangular (short from top to bottom), with rounded or squared-off corners.

(Personally, I envy the folks who can by reading glasses at the Target store, instead of pricy-by-god bifocals.)

Delicate and wire framed are definitely not me.
I hate the thought of contacts on my eyeballs. Kind of grosses me out.
I don't mind wearing glasses. I think they are sexy.

Just don't get any catwoman glasses.

I'm sure you'll look great, Aileen.

Aileen: if you are short sighted and have only just found out about it you can not possibly be older than 20.
Do not argue . I am right. lol. I am a scientist.

How about John Lennon type specs.

I'd get something funky...tiny rectangle frames. Maybe black or like a tortoise color.

Yeah contacts can be pretty nasty, the other month I tore the lining of my eye and it went completely red. It looked like someone had poured tomato soup in my eye. I looked like that terminator.

I still wear them though because I hate the fact glasses steam up when you get onto a hot train after being out in the cold or if it rains you have to dry them. I'd pretty much been wearing them all my life though, so I guess it's different if you've just started out.

You'll pick something stylish anyway because you have a good sense of style I think.

I am very nearsighted, as in, -4.25 in each eye. What that means to those that don't know, I can't walk around the house or watch tv or drive or anything else without glasses. I have both contacts and glasses because I gotta take the contacts out sometime and I still have to see.

Contacts are wonderful! Just like having normal eyes. I've worn them since I was nineteen years old. Glasses are, honestly, a pain in the patootie. I get the ultra thin lenses, because if I don't, the glasses are so damn heavy on my nose they give me a headache. Currently, my glasses are a thin, dark bronze/brown, rectangular and rimless on the bottom. The one drawback to them is that the lenses are easily knocked out. It takes a few minutes of holding my tongue just right to put them back in.

I feel more attractive and sexier when I am wearing my contacts. However, someone I was planning to meet said, upon seeing a pic of me wearing my glasses, that I should definitely wear them to bed ;)

Aileen, you need to do what is comfortable for you. If the idea of contacts squicks you out too much, skip them. However, I can tell you from experience that it's not what you think. Glasses can be sexy, but you have to make sure that what you get is sexy and will go with everything you wear, or buy more than one pair. The other drawback to glasses is that you can't wear sunglasses when you need them. Yeah, they make those clippie things, but they are not a good option. There are the Transitions lenses, but they are mucho expensive. The magnetic lenses are ok, but it makes the glasses heavy on the nose.

Anyway, just do this when choosing your frames. Take someone you trust with you. Wear your hair and makeup like you ordinarily would. Try on LOTS and LOTS of frames and look in the mirror every time. Sometimes what you think looks good on you, doesn't...and what you think wouldn't, does.

Go figure.

Good luck with it!

I love chicks who wear glasses!
Aileen, try those tortoise shell ones, they're nice.
I remember during the O.J. trial when they said that kid who was OJ's houseboy started wearing glasses because, "he'd look smarter."
Well, he should have worn telescopes after he started opening his mouth.
"Houseboy!"
I can't remember his name but (it) was dumb too.
