Before you enlarge the image, see how many pairs of specs you can match with the person or personality who wore them.
How many did you get right? I didn’t fare too well, but at least I got Elton John, Geordi LaForge, and Cyclops. Those would have been embarrassing to miss. I didn’t guess Mr. Peanut and, appropriately, Waldo completely escaped me.
My favorite on this chart is definitely the pair Holly Golightly, Audrey Hepburn’s character, wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Funnily enough, the glasses of Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, have also made their way onto this list, but much further down. I wonder if his specs are jealous. Aside from them, I’m going to vote for “Macho Man” Randy Savage as best runner up. Which are your favorite face-adornments?
