Why I Love Buenos Aires .. Reason Number 1,580

The old saying was that Men Don't Make Passes At Girls Who Wear Glasses.
But for some time now, I have been seeing a lot of girls, women, boys and men, wearing glasses, nerdy glasses and everyone is still looking and I imagine, there are passes still going on.

I am sure it depends on the glasses and of course, the girl .. or boy.
But overall, I don't think that saying works anymore.

I have new reading glasses.

My old ones ( which have been rehabilitated, more on that later) are nerdy, tortoiseshell , clearly reading glasses, not pretending to be anything else.

And I love them. They feel good and what is better, I can see !!

Here they are ... like them ?

Now the old glasses that were not so different, smaller and more perfect perhaps, fell apart after years of wear.
I asked the Eyeglass Man if he could just glue the little thing that goes over your ear so I can use them around the house... "Let me see what I can do" he said.

I got them back today, a week later .. they rebuilt my old glasses ! You can hardly see where they drilled holes and replaces hinges and whatever ... I am wearing them now, I can see !!
He refused to let us pay him anything.
