Hmm, maybe I'll snap a photo with my cell phone at Bergdorf.

Another big fan of Cutler and Gross, they just have such a presence to them you can't help but notice, yet classy, classic and cool in their designs. I just got the below:

Very impressed with Cutler and Gross, from what I've seen. Great build quality.

Would be good to see them on foo.

I'm prepared for the slaughter. Better or worse than the aviators?

Worse now that we see them on you. The frames thickness near your temples isn't flattering. Nor is the shape in general.

They're not bad, but with your hair like that and the facial expression, they make you look sortof like Kim Jong Il.

I like, but then I also like non-conventional frames..

My only critique which is not frame related is your hair style - but I assume you have the thicker/corse ASHIN hair which is not the best to manage.

Well retired heeled dictators is THE LOOK!

Definitely an upgrade from the aviators, whose proportions I always felt didn't work well with your face. Well done.

Seems like it doesn't fit well. There is a gap between your bridge and the frame, kind of like a collar gap on a suit.

Unfortunately, that's going to be the case with almost any pair of glasses. Asian noses don't tend to have much of a bridge to begin with.
