I’m Gonna Kick Your [Gl]asses

Glasses used to mean something.

It used to be weird to wear glasses.

People wore glasses because they needed to see and weren’t so vain that you had to sport contacts. People wore glasses because their eyes were so strained from staring at a computer. People wore nerd glasses or horn rimmed glasses because they were alt, nerdy, dorky, strange, arty.

Now J.Crew models wear nerdy glasses.

So then how are we geek lovers supposed to find our nerdy mates when the tell-tale sign is now as common as messy, just-woke-up hair and fresh from the Salvation Army plaid shirts ? Is the only place where true nerds go Comic-Con?
