We'll be attending with other members of the UCF and their assorted partners, spouses, etc., and so (naturally) the subject of costumes came up.
I've decided to bring two costumes - one for Zoe from Firefly, and another in the steam-punk style. So now I'm prowling for costume options.
One of my challenges is the issue of SIGHT. I wear glasses with progressive lenses, and believe me, they are not optional. But my rockin' new Anne Kleins are not appropriate for what I have in mind. Which got me to thinking - why not buy a set of glasses specifically for this event? A pair of rose-colored glasses. In my typical fashion, I'm now in love with this idea, and can't decide what to buy.

| This was my first idea. Round sort of screams "steam punk" to me without resorting to the stereotypical goggles. |
 |
| Then I saw these, which have a sort of a "clockwork" look to them, which definitely relates to steam punk. These make me think I should be living in Seattle.* |
 |
| Then I saw these, and decided they were even more clockwork-y. |
You must imagine them with rose-tinted lenses in each case. I am torn - TORN - about which to buy. Give me your opinion, Hot Chicks and Smart Men.

for clockworky, the last. But Rose or Green colored lenses?
Good question. I think I need to try both on and decide which one is better in lower light...
#3, definitely.
The third one for sure...
I'm with the majority - definitely the last one.
The last

# 3 calls to me...
I don't even need glasses and I want #3. You wouldn't really even need to tint those, but be sure to clip a little round magnifier on one lens.
The third.
And I don't know about rose colored, but why not get them as prescription sunglasses, so you can continue to use them after the Con?
Just refer to them as "smoked glass"
I actually like #2 better because I think silver goes better w/ your hair & complexion and because as a practical chick, I think of rewearability. #2 is more potentially wearable for other stuff, too. :)
I'm so psyched for this!
Yeah, #3 is my favourite.
Number three . . .nuff said
I think it is appropriate that the following captcha came up right after giving you advice on what to wear to an SF convention (and yes, I wish I could go too).

Matt, we'd love to have you join us if you can make it.
Can't wait to see the final pair!
