    My Odd CD Related Hobby

    Since I first started going out of the house dressed en femme, over 40 years ago, I have always worn female glasses, fake, sun, or perscription. For some rime now I have worn perscription progressive lenses in a cat's eye frame. Almost daily I frind myself looking at sites that feature this style in eyewear, maybe its a dumb way to waste time, but I love doing it. IMO glasses are a great fashion accessory for women, or at least can be.

    I remember that when I first dressed enfemme at age 8 I ocassionally wore my mothers non perscription glasses, when she first needed glasses, circa 1960,I borrowed her spare pair which were silver cat's eye. I thought that I looked divens wearing them. My mother looked stunning wearing cat's eye frames or any other frame. She mainly wore cat's eyes, or later wire frames that werent cat's eyes. She was a brunette about 5'2" and between 90-100 lbs.

    If I posted in the wrong section,will the moderators please move to the proper subject matter,

    Thank You !

    I agree with you, in that glasses can be a great fashion accessory for a female outfit. Love a sexy pair of sunglasses either worn, or just propped up in the hair can look really nice.

    I find nothing about it odd as they create another element you accessorize with. My past GF had 8 pairs of glasses, one to go with whatever outfit she was wearing.

    I don't that it is odd either, but I was lost for a title of my thread. Thank you for the post rachael.

    For those of us who are blessed with less than perfect vision, glasses are a critical accessory that can make or break a look.

    My daily glasses are a pair of librarian-style glasses that I wear in both boy and girl mode, but I have about a half dozen pairs of women's glasses, including a set of awesome 60s-style cateyes. I totally understand where you're coming from.

    I totally agree! The glasses add a component, in fact I am planning to add some pink glass frames to my wardrobe. The glasses seem to add perspective and composition to the face. I love the way they look, and it helps that I need them to see...

    Oh Wow, I thought I was the only one with an eyeglasses fetish instead of a shoe fetish. I have many different pairs reading and prescription. I have a fairly weak prescription and usually don't wear glasses in male mode, but do need reading glasses. Hugs Jaymee

    i also find glasses to provide a great element to the look one is trying to achieve. I have two femme pairs, one man, and plan to get more.

    It is not strange at all, I like feminine glasses too. I have some femme glasses with clear lenses (I don't need glasses or reading glasses, yet...) I like to wear en femme; in fact, I think I look better with them. I would wear them all of the time when I am en femme, but I am always a bit reluctant since I worry some people who know me might think it is silly to wear them if I don't need glasses.

    My favorites are the big Jackie O style frames that were popular from the 60s thru the 80s, which is what I wear mostly. I also like catseyes too.

    I love big sunglasses, they help me with fifty percent of my face problems these days.
    Saves on makeup.

    I switched to ladies frames 2 years ago - get lots of compliments on them regardless of how I am dressed (finally have the blue frames I was not allowed to get as a child)

    When I go out fully dressed my wife like glasses on me the glasses seems to compliment the hair and makeup. Other than that I don't need to wear glasses, knock on wood!

    My ex-girlfriend felt the same way, she said the glasses really complemented hairdo and makeup and "completed" the look.
