or maybe that headline should read, through a PAIR OF glassES….  remember  that last post about how dire my sight is these days? well,  i thought i’d give you guys a laugh by posting these  pix of me making a spectacle of myself throughout the (past 20) years.

and like i said, just for today, you’re allowed to laugh! but just for today!

first graduation uct circa december 1985

note the pearls and the german braided updo. and the glasses. yes. the glasses. moving on.

ahem… these glasses were lenses which were put into my gran’s old frames.  we won’t talk about the hair – or the hat!

cape town circa 1991

aah, my favorite oliver people’s glasses! i look so innocent here.

with my best friend from college in budapest december 1997

oliver people’s again – i loved them so much, i wore them for a very long time.

los angeles. circa 1998

these lasted only about one year. and yes, my hair was very short for a while.

chili tongue cape town december 2004

i loved these. i think i wore them for a couple of years. the glasses. not the chili.

topanga - february 2005

same glasses a few months later. me having a rather introspective moment. yes. i had  nose piercing which became a problem while i was shooting, so i eventually  let it close. and sometimes, not very often, i wear my hair straight.

these glasses are what i have now. they’re only really get worn at night, seeing that i wear contact lenses for filming.

but  i suggest that you be really careful when you try to find a lost lens in your eye. otherwise you might be taking the red-eye. like me, this rather painful moment.

so, i hope you had a good laugh at my expense. now stop! 😉
