From you I will take this as a compliment

I can't decide if I would ever wear those.

I was thinking Karim Rashid too. Very cocaine. I approve, though I wonder what else lurks in your subconscious.

I am also reminded somewhat of the sunglasses that Beans (late of Anti-Pop Consortium) wears sometimes:

I have a pair of rose tinted glasses with mostly black frames (like LK's) that I got because I had an extra $20 in credit or something at SGH. I've never worn them, ever.

I knew somebody would get them eventually.

I really like them and would wear them with flashier CdG and similar pieces, not for everyone though and not sure it would go well with what I've seen of your wardrobe. I'd say they'd go over well with a flashy, eccentric, "high class boozer/drug head on a 2 weeks bender" type of outfit. The square design and "stockiness" of the frames might not fit every face though (I know you posted yours but I honestly can't remember what you look like).

I probably posted a WAYWT with the ideal matching CdG jacket, although some might disagree.

Edit: just looked at your pic in WAYWT and really like the whole thing, very ironic jewish author on the aforementionned two week bender.

By the way do you find the Bertoia chair in the background to be comfortable? I've always found it to be more practical than the diamond chair but this is really more of a display piece than real, functional furniture. And that's coming from someone who thinks a Le grand comfort is a great, all around chair...

No, the bertoia is not comfortable, but it is outside and works well there. I also think that the Corbu furniture is very comfortable, but I think that it really depends on your particular build whether it works for you or not. Re the glasses, I agree. They strike me as an ironic preppy on a bender type thing, although Jewish intellectual is equally fitting.

I really like the frames, not sure that the lenses and frame combination are working for me. They would probably be cool to wear maybe once, and then you'd become "that guys with the pink glasses." And lenses that color, imo, disorient the Connemara out of you. I would switch them out for blue or grey lenses, maybe. Grey gradient would be pretty cool. Blue might be good, might be a little too Bono.
