Heading Towards Midlife at Ward Speed - Hoof Beats
04/07/2014 15:40No, I didn't buy a Corvette. Rather, midlife reared its hideous head lately while I was sitting in the Optometrist's office getting an eye exam for glasses that were new. My worst fear was confirmed by the Optometrist. "Welcome to midlife, you need bifocals!" Thanks doctor... From the thick brown plastic frames of the '70s to rounded gold alloy frames of the '80s all the way up to today's "chic" eyewear brought to you personally by all of the newest designer labels. After those amazing eye drops which make you look like a zombie and my eye exam, I staggered out into the brightness of the store's showroom to look at said glasses. If it was left up to me, I had Dawn with me because let's face it I'd likely pick those gruesome brown plastic frames out again from the '70s. She's got to look at me the most she needs to enjoy the glasses stuck on my face--probably more so than if I like them--but that is what makes She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) happy right? So there we're perusing the stand of frameworks. True there was some fine appearing eyewear, but the one framework myself actually needed alluded my wide-eyed search--Mustang frames! Yes, I want a set of eye glasses with a Mustang motif to them. I know for a fact every single person reading this editorial now has at least one (if not a dozen) Mustang T-shir oakley gascan uk.s, polo shirts, just click the following document.club or event shirts, hats, belts and/or buckles, and more. Heck, myself have pajama trousers with Mustangs all. ('s know TMI. Myself'll try to keep that to the absolute minimum in my own columns, I assure). Mustangs are part of our daily wear and even jewelry, so why not eye glasses? Would not it be great to be able to pick out a pair of eye glass frames with a little chrome running horse or perhaps a? Maybe a rocking chair stripe motif with the word Mustang inside it? 's know I'd prefer such a "fashion statement" to wear daily. While I did eventually pick out quite a sporty looking pair of black Ray Bans with silver gray carbon fiber for the temples, I couldn't help but think how much cooler these spectacles would be with some form of Mustang symbol, symbol, etc. on them. I understand some people are undesirable to wearing logos/branding. Myself too find it hard to spend $40 on a top and walk around with the brand's name plastered all over it (insert Gen-X Abercrombie opinion here), but we believe otherwise somehow in regards to Mustang, do not we? I find it not purchase that shirt or hat and extremely hard to walk by anything with a Manager 302. I'll most likely be in line with the remainder of the free world attending one of the 50th occasions to purchase the latest Mustang graphic "camp shirt" and I won't leave until I get one of Vaughn Gittin's new Formula Drift team tops (hopefully signed as well!). Myself stocked up with a coffee mug, a fresh polo shirt, two t-shirts not to mention their Supervisor 302 playing cards last autumn when Cracker Barrel offered slew. Heaven help myself if Dawn finds out what I spent! Come on Ford licensing, we desire some cool Mustang eyewear showing our love of the brand!
