This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

Nathalie & Kimberley 104
Identical twins Nathalie and Kimberley posing in another couple of identical glasses made by Rodenstock during the early or mid 1980's. The number 513 in their "Exclusiv" series could mean that these frames were made after the preceding white glasses with the number 324. The Rodenstock company still exists and last year I asked them if they could put a year of manufacture on a number of their old glasses in my collection. Unfortunately nothing came of it. Kimberley (right) is wearing a pair of bifocals that has been in my collection for a quarter of a century. I acquired them in the late 1980's on the Amsterdam flea market "Waterlooplein".
Nathalie's varifocal glasses were a find in Bavaria, some ten years ago.
