I feel pretty #1: Contacts Vs. Glasses

I don't do a lot of product reviews on here besides my sex toy reviewing, but let it be known that I'm also into clothes and beauty products, and that comes up here and there. (I recently wrote a piece for XOJane about my obsession with men's fragrances. You should also read the unrelated piece I wrote about Capoeira too). So I've decided to do a series of posts about my style and beauty regimen. And I want to hear what you do too! So let's talk vain shit today, shall we?

TOPIC #`1: Contact lenses vs. glasses!

I had perfect vision until my late 20s, when I discovered that I have an astigmatism and I'm slightly nearsighted in both eyes. (I still get away with not wearing glasses most of the time, but it's impossible for me to read far away signs or menus that are posted on walls). I am still on the fence about contacts vs. glasses. I just ordered new glasses from Zenni Optical (I love Zenni, even though the last two pairs I got from them broke).
I like that wearing glasses makes me look like a smart blonde, but they also make me look even more like an andro lesbian that I already do.(Oh, stereotypes!)

I'm a "gay man trapped in a woman's body," not a lesbian. SHEESH!

Also, I feel like glasses actually make my vision worse when I wear them a lot. And it creeps me out to see all the pores on someone's face. They feel like a weird kind of barricade when I'm talking to someone, so I tend to take them off in short range vision situations, but then I stick them on top of my head, and they get oily, or I have to find the case, which is a pain in the butt.

OTOH, there's contacts. Brazilian Maik accuses me of talking about my taxes and contact lenses too much, but whatever. I wear Focus Monthly Soft Colors, and vacillate between the three shades: Royal blue (which makes my blue eyes darker, Dune blue), Aqua (which makes my eyes vivid turquoise) and Evergreen, (which makes my eyes startlingly green). I like my natural eye color fine, but it's fun to mix things up, and these lenses have just a sheer layer of tint that tweaks your natural color if you have light eyes. Fun fact: the Optometrist that did my lens exam was named Dr. Glasscock, and was suuuuuper gay. He doesn't work at my Target Optical anymore, though.

The spice must flow.

Is it weird to have schizophrenic eye color? I guess I need an additional cosmetic factor to make contacts worth the price and bother for me. But I'm also super lazy about wearing them, so I develop the same complex I get when I pay for a gym membership and don't go very often. I wore my last pack maybe 10 times out of 30 days, so I am thinking I will take a break from them for a few months to save money. Another thing that annoys me about these lenses is it's really hard to tell which side is up, and sometimes both sides hurt. It took me literally an hour to learn how to put my lenses in for the first time because my eyeballs were literally like DO NOT WANT and rejecting them! It was way worse than losing my anal sex virginity. And then sometimes I rub my eye and it gets bunched up under my eyelid and I'm on a crowded train or something. So yeah, I'm not 100% sold on contacts either.

Which do you prefer, my blind friends?
