Book excerpt: Dorothy Parker made that famous quote about men not making passes at girls who wear glasses — but long-time journalist Pam Paige has collected an eye-catching array of photographs to prove Parker wrong. Here are more than 90 full-color photographs of beautiful women, each proudly displaying her eyeglasses -- round, square, tinted, oversized, rimless, bifocal, even sunglasses that match the bikini. The photos are accompanied by numerous quotes about the allure of bespectacled women. If you're a gal who wears glasses, this is a tribute to your womanhood. If you're a guy, it will remind you of your admiration for the four-eyed opposite sex. Yep, Dorothy Parker got it wrong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marissa Walsh's hilarious look at a life behind glass is both a poignant personal journey and a wry, insightful exploration of just what it means to be a glasses-wearing kind of girl. Being a Girl with Glasses isn't just a style choice; it's a way of life. If you've ever had your specs steam up when walking into a bar, squinted into the sun on the soccer field, or laid eyes on a new haircut only after your locks are strewn across the floor, you know what it's like to be a GWG. Marissa Walsh has worn glasses since third grade. Now—ten pairs of glasses, one pair of prescription sunglasses, and endless pairs of contacts later—she has fully embraced her four-eyed fate. As she recounts her optic history through the lenses of each pair of glasses—from the Sergio Valentes and the Sally Jessy Raphaels to the pseudo John Lennons and the dreaded health plan specs—at last she found them...the perfect pair. Peppered with pop culture references and complete with appendixes of resources, classic GWG moments, and helpful tips on finding the right frames for your face, Girl with Glasses will give you reason to commiserate with your short-sighted sisters and celebrate your less-than-perfect vision.

Download or read book Glasses written by Henry James and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An absolute eye-awakening story. A beautiful, radiant girl is swept aside when she has to start wearing glasses. It was not usual for ladies to sport specs and the term "men don't make passes at girls that wear glasses" was not only true in the 19th-century but generally believed. A fun story especially when she goes blind and can no longer see herself. A nobleman refuses her but her steady companion loves her with or without the glasses. When I think of how fashionable glasses are today, it's almost unbelievable. Of course, the glasses at that time were anything but attractive, according to Mr. James.

Download or read book Girls who Wear Glasses New York Women Magazine Writers and the Culture of Smartness written by Catherine Elizabeth Keyser and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker, Jessie Fauset, Mary McCarthy, and Dawn Powell began their careers by writing for magazines that defined new urban lifestyles, modern roles for women, and sophisticated humor. These magazines such as Vanity Fair and the New Yorker were called the smart magazines, and the ideal of the smart connoted wit, modernity, attractiveness, and chic. Valorizing smartness meant an investment in materialism and elitism, as the newest in products and ideas was promoted and encapsulated in magazine advertisements and articles. In terms of feminine stereotypes, smartness represented a kind of intelligence that was sexy rather than intellectual, glib rather than probing. At the same time, however, smartness could be energizing and anarchic. Ironic narration allowed these writers both to inhabit a smart persona and to draw attention to its contradictions. I argue that these writers dramatize the tension between the problematic social messages associated with the smart style and the opportunities for cultural critique offered by wit and irony. In so doing, they promote the literary value of satire and suggest the shortcomings of the growing mass media.
