So this whole Bouffant-Gate thing that surfaced today (basically a Melbourne suburban school asked the photography company hired to shoot the school photos to airbrush the students, oh dear!) has inspired me to write about something from my school photo days that always made me feel a little awkward, I definitely wished the airbrushing thing was around in my day!
For as long as I can remember I have worn glasses. I got called four-eyes, have numerous photos of me with them all the way down the end of my nose and, well, it made it a little awkward when it came time to start kissing boys, they quite frankly got in the way!
Now however, it seems to be the age of eyewear. Devendra Banhart and his amazing looking girlfriend, Rebecca Schwartz appeared in the short film for Oliver Peoples Eye Wear, Zooey Dechanel also models for the brand (se above) and Tom Ford's line is just, well, you look at the photo below and judge for yourself.
Glasses are cool, sexy even now but they certainly weren't when I was in school and if I could show you my prep school photo (which i'm not cause this is the internet) you, for my sake would wish there had been air brushing back then too!!
