re: #554 doppelganglander

LOL! My son got a pair of those, which he really didn’t need. It seems that the old BCGs, which were narrow black-rimmed glasses, are now kind of hip, so they’ve had to go to something Junior Soprano would wear.

I was in when the BCGs pictured came into the inventory - about 1989. Prior to that you had the black rimmed ones form the 60s that you are talking about.

I remember guys asking why they got rid of the old BCGs just when they were getting cool (Elvis Costello wore simillar glasses) only to replace them with glasses that will never be cool.

It is 20 years later and those glasses have never been cool. Never will be.
