There isn't a better place to browse than the following website -

Allyn Scura Eyewear / Women's Vintage

they also travel and go to large antique shows and events like Viva Las Vegas. I don't recommend buying a pair without trying them on or having tried on enough pairs to be able to eyeball what looks good on your face. For example, I can't wear cat-eye frames, they make me look pissed at the whole world. Mine are more squared with a fairly level upper frame.

Thanks for this pdxvintagette--I'm in the market for some new specs. Within the space of about 2 weeks I stepped on one pair of glasses and broke the arm irrepairably and fell asleep in 2 pair of rimless, making them into pretzels. I think I need to go with another pair of hard plastic frames if this new pair is to survive!

Well, you have me beat for the count, but I've got you beat for worst method of ruining/loosing them. Some time back, after quite the little soiree, I learned a bitter little lesson about mixing champagne and hard liquor - I lost my second favorite pair of glasses out the window of the car on the freeway. Talk about insult to injury.

I lost my only pair when some... individidual... (picture my lips moving differently as I'm censor-dubbed for TV) stole them. That was aggravating because I set the case down and was back within a half hour and it was too late. Thankfully it wasn't my entire purse, but still, stealing perscription glasses? Low.

Nah I think at 17th and Spring Garden that's either Center City or Norfphilly. lol

I'm not acting like it was the crime of the century, either, I was just aggravated by it.

Wow, that's a story!

I did the reverse recently--vodka followed by champagne--and had one of the worst headaches in recent memory the following morning. But my glasses were intact!

I bought a pair on ebay that I adore (french, black with carving that reveals the white below) but I think they're a bit too big for my face. I should try them on again.

Having never been to the QM event, I don't know much about it ... has there been any organization of a time at that event at which folks could trade/sell (but for me, preferrably trade) their stuff? Hats that don't fit correct, dresses we've outgrown, things we bought on ebay that didn't work out? I have always wanted to having an all-vintage Naked Lady part, I bet this crew could throw a good one.

Rocky I understand. My wife died seven years ago after nine years of marriage. I can't imagine it after 25 years.

Here's a hilarious definition of "just friends":
A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

Thought you would enjoy that, Not-Bogart. As for me I'm pretty sure my resum?© is in a lot of offices as a good reference. And to be honest, I think a lot of those employers have me on speed dial to try and figure out why the girl they hired is so damn complicated and evil. And I'm like...uh, check out my resum?©, I have an undergraduate degree in being fun, a masters in being uncomplicated, and a Ph freaking D in not being "that girl".

I have been the "just friends" guy many times and that is exactly what it is like. Good analogy.
