Revenge of the nerds

Just got my new specs, which winged its way all the way from the distant shores of sunny Singapore. h00t h00t!! Yay to my wonderful housemate who brought it back for me, and double-yay to the wonderful girl who got it for me (who I wish were here in London right now).

It's a pair of black, plastic, sturdy, nerd specs, also known as "Army boy specs", since it's practically part of the Singapore army boy uniform, being the only kind of specs that are sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of a miltary regime. Being the total klutz that I am, I totally need a pair of "spare specs" that I wear out on a regular basis, instead of just my fragile, rimless "work specs".

While I've been brazen enough to wear my broken specs out, it would be nice to look a little less Special, even on grocery-runs.

Plus, my new black-rimmed nerd specs coupled with my china doll haircut will sooo complete the sexy repressed nerdy schoolgirl/teacher look. It's wicked!

And below, my dear Moo-cow models Spring 2005's new look, hot off the runway of Singapore!!
