You won't catch me posting any photos, but nope, not just upstate New York. Hafta say exactly the same hairstyle and glasses same era, backwoods BC. :) (Actually, I got contacts in grade 11...1988/89, but my wine colored big glasses...no nosepiece, just the one-piece frame unit with arms at the top edge of the big lense frames just like yours...were my backup. And were very coolio at the time.) And P.S. I have the rectangular frames now like everyone else. How shameful to know I'm so trendy. :) Ha!

I'll have to find some from '89 to see what I was wearing on my face back then; I can't remember, but I think it was wire frames of some sort.

I remember such glasses well...you know some things (like leg warmers and shoulder pads) should just stay in the history of fashion faux pas and never come back....that being said BIG sunglasses seem to be all the rage right now.

But I remember how JEALOUS I was of all you who weren't wearing "granny glasses" as we called them. (At some point, I had an old pair of 14k gold frames that had belonged to my grandfather in the 1920s.)
