Before you follow the crowd and surrender your aesthetic sense to the latest ridiculous fashion in clothing, body piercing, tattoos, home decor, music or . . . eye wear, look upon this 1977 advertisement for Texas State Optical.OY VEH. These Diane Von Furstenberg glasses were fashionable. They were popular. Lots of women in 1977 wore eyeglasses that looked a lot like this.
Is it a hottie, or is it a guppy? I can't exactly tell. Let me get my glasses.
Or, as the Spanish poet, novelist and philosopher George Santayana famously advised us, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
So, before you abandon all common sense and follow the crowd, remember those hideous, hideous eyeglasses.
And don't get me started on some of the awful clothes we wore back then.
