How would life change if we all wore spectacles with a built-in fantasy filter to smooth out complexions, thicken hair, lengthen lashes, and add kitty whiskers?
I’m thinkin’ B O R I N G.
We might be entertained for 5 minutes, but surely things would grow dull by the second with all the sci-fi pod-licious homogenization. Not that we don’t need more unity, colorblindness, ageblindness, and genderblindness. But can you fathom the inconvenience of being viewed as sexy kittycats and beauty queens as we: shop for chicken thighs at the grocery store, attend a staff meeting, or volunteer at the nursing home?
DID I JUST MAKE YOU SUPER PLEASED TO LOOK LIKE you AND NOT perfected you? Awesome.

Let’s talk REAL glasses to better see the beautiful world (including earned lines, wrinkles, and gobble gobbly necks like mine among us).
Fall is always a fine time to choose new glasses if you need ’em, and actually every season is a good time for me to get new ones since I am masterful at losing and destroying glasses. You’re proficient at cello playing? That’s nice. I have a Ph.D. in progressive lens demolition.

Wait–I have that filter. It’s called taking off my glasses, and then I only see vague blobs of light and dark.
I love Warby Parker. The whole concept, how they started and all of it. Kudos, seriously. For those of us who see nothing without glasses, it is so great to have a company that offers affordable AND chic glasses. Sadly, they aren’t in Europe, where my glasses cost an arm and a leg or two.
