Nerd Alert: 5 Vintage Eyeglass Frame Makeovers
Apparently men do make passes at style editors who wear glasses. This year's New York Fashion Week featured Anna Wintour of Vogue in trademark sunglasses next to her bespectacled boyfriend Shelby Bryan. La Wintour's date indicates that retro eyeglass frames have reached a coming of age, good news for EyeBeenFramed.com.
Taking a cue from the Huffington Post's "Recession's Accidental Entrepreneurs," and also because print media isn't picking up quite yet, we've launched an expanded collection of never-worn vintage eyeglass frames inherited from my optometrist father. Frame clients include Elvis Costello and Mike Mills of REM, so the site is rocking. Here are some recommendations for eyeglass makeovers, because from Keith Olbermann to Rachel Maddow, who doesn't love a new look?
Advertorial for Mad Men's Don Draper
Alien Princess for Lady GaGa
Onyx Sextet for Anna Wintour
The Murrow for Rachel Maddow
The Duff for Keith Olbermann

I think HuffPo should publish photos of all Keith Olbermann's glasses. He wore another pair Thursday.

And yesterday he wore his clear pair. He needs a big Marc Jacobs looking pair like Starrianna mentions below for his Special Comments. 'You sir . . ."
MARC JACOBS sports the nerdiest glasses of them all and he is (arguably) the coolest of the bunch.
Mad Men's design is unique!!

I love that they're all on Twitter as their own characters and you can tell them, "Hey, Don Draper, you dropped your glasses."
Rachel Maddow's glasses are called Murrows? I would call them Clark Kents!
Ops, yes of course! A good advice Mr Keith (and also the one for Lady GaGa)!
Funny Post Karen! I love this kind of old sunglasses. So now we know that Mr Mills wear the same as Keith Olbermann...

Well I'd love to see Keith O in retro frames, but until then will continue to shout fashion suggestions at the Tee Vee.
