Rich Juzwiak's glasses. A critique.

So the video is here, the start is set to 1:27.

The following is a list of which glasses I liked the most on Rich Juzwiak, the writer at Gawker.

All in all I counted 19 different pairs.

Disclaimer: I'm gay, too, so all this is meant from my rather reserved (and maybe conservative) perspective of (gay) fashion.

So, if anyone gets to read this, I hope ye won't feel offended, 'cuz I meant to have fun with this :>

And, so, here goes...

1. Light ones. The colours match, but proportions seem wrong;
2. Best light frames;
3. (Black with thickish frames) Best in a dark-lit club or intellectual event;
4. (red ones) Too fabulous;
5. (golden ones) - kinda fabulous, but not in a good way;
6. < This one is the favourite, for some reason, but they're pink, too. Only that the pink colour there is not so in your face. So, if the frame colour were slightly different...
7. Blue - too fabulous, too 1970's;
8. Black ones with white edges - Too Apple. "I want to hide myself."
9. (light frames) Too fabulous and outdated;
10. Black shades. This must have something to do with retrofuturism, but I somehow like it. "I hide myself, but I still want to see you."
11. Police Cruiser shades. The most form-fitting, except that it accentuates the nose the most (sorry, Rich, I like you the most when you're not wearing spectacles (;
12. Dark ones. It's warm and light outside. Yuppie style;
13. Square shades. I like those. 1980's (retro)futurism. Still accentuates the nose.
14. Black shades. Fabulous, 1979 going on 1982. I don't know, which way, though.
15. Red, again. Too fabulous.
    
16. Dark shades. I don't know.


17. Dorky, Gotham style. Maybe if you meet The Dark Knight one day...


18. 1970's, def. Southern states;


19. Big black ones. The Fly. Jeff Goldblum.

When Angela Merkel is Fabulous

Because photos are not my own, I'm not going to show them here, but instead link to them and their articles.

Yes, this is a photo from 03.04.2009., but still holds relevance, as Mrs. Merkel is usually all business. So, sometimes it's good to highlight the lighter side of politicians who have to save the (financial) world. (Greece was then only a worry.)

• Jezebel: German President Angela Merkel Demonstrates Her Signature Dance Moves
• More image in story:
  xfinity.comcast.net/slideshow/news-michelleandcarla/10/
• Biggest possible image that I could find within a few minutes

And E24.ee features a very nice image of Mrs. Merkel's slight change in style, where the top piece is much taller than usual. Maybe even puritanical, but in a good way, reinforcing her image as "The Iron Frau", and given how the 4th most powerful woman in the world must politick Europe out of its financial woes.

So, using all black is not new for her. (In the two photos, Mrs. Merkel gives a speech to the German Parliament.)
