I would like to thank Dorothy Parker for helping me come up with the title of this post (and of course my co-blogger, who had the idea originally and from whom I happily stole it), but I’d like to think that maybe this has changed a bit since she said these words. Well, maybe not. Maybe men don’t make passes at the girls in glasses as much still, but they certainly fetishize them a good deal more, don’t they?
Case in point:
Governor Sarah Palin, running for Vice President. (Although she kind of kills the fetish because you know she’s not that bright.)
I seriously doubt that Tina Fey needs an introduction, especially in this context.
Lindsay Lohan in glasses, effectively turning up my love for girls in glasses and redheads to the nth degree.
Similarily, a random girl from the internetz who’s exploding my love for girls in glasses and girls in ridiculously colorful striped socks.
Leighton Meester, star of and probably the best thing about Gossip Girl.
Relatively still new-ish singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson.
Jinkies! Velma, from Scooby Doo, here lucsciously played by Linda Cardellini. “My glasses! I can’t see without my glasses!” (Sorry, had to do it.)
Thora Birch in Ghost World.
And this post wouldn’t be nearly complete without mentioning Lisa Loeb, who probably re-popularized glasses for cute young women in the 90s. Am I right?
Yes. Yes, I am. Which leads me to today’s clip, which is simply called “Blowjob With Glasses,” unfortunately limiting the star of it to her most simplest ingredients. The video itself is so so: A skeezy looking guy forcefully convinces a cute girl in a yellow dress with glasses to get down on her knees and suck his cock. Eventually a woman who is probably his girlfriend sashays over to enjoy watching this, then retires to the couch to rub herself while watching the cute bespectacled girl finish sucking the guy off.
The very simplicity is what makes me enjoy this video so much, and keeps me coming back to it. That, and the girl with glasses’ voice absolutely does not match her intense cuteness. It sadly places her not just in the cute girl with glasses category, but makes her come off as a bit of a nerd, too. But that’s not really something I have a problem with.
Now, my co-blogger will definitely tell you that when you’re lucky enough to get a cute girl with glasses back to your room and you’re stripping down to do the act, don’t make her keep the glasses on. Not if she doesn’t want to. If you’re interesting in nakedness and intimacy, don’t leave that wall between you. Don’t make her be an object during sex.
There’s several other clips out there of girls in glasses, but none of them speak to me in the way today’s clip of the day does, I’m afraid, even though there’s nothing wrong with some of them. This young woman here is incredibly adorable… once you get past a mouth full of teeth that could almost be described as British. And Eva Angelina has definitely locked herself firmly in the glasses-wearing niche, hasn’t she? Good for her. One has to assume that the girl in glasses fetish was spawned out of the librarian fetish, which… Well, I like it more than other fetishes, let me just say that. If you’re going to reduce a woman down to a single component rather than taking her in as a whole person, it’s probably better that that single component is that she may seem smart or a bit nerdy rather than her having a great big ass, or being pregnant, or being Asian.
While googling “girl in glasses” I came across a page from the World Of Warcraft forums talking about lasik surgery. I don’t know if it’s relevant, honestly, but it’s too weird for me not to mention. That and a blog specifically dedicated to the girls with glasses and a blog written by a smart girl who just happens to wear glasses. And more celebrities in glasses! But while looking at all of that, you really you have to ask yourself: What do glasses say about the person?
Well, that’s probably enough for now. But just remember this: The next time you see that impossibly cute girl in glasses all by herself in the corner, don’t stare. Why? Because she’s sitting there thinking to herself…
I CAN SEE YOU!
That picture of Lisa Loeb in a thong is haunting me. Where did you find it? I always find videos with girls in glasses to be somewhat inauthentic, as you and I have discussed, girls in glasses (or you know..me) always take their glasses off when things get steamy. Personally, they just get in the way. I wonder if there are any videos where the girl takes off her glasses mid scene? Worth investigating..
Also, the ending of this post is fantastic. I love it.
Thank you very much. I found that pic all over the place, but yeah, it’s… mesmerizing, isn’t it? Here it is on a page talking about her sister, who is also a singer.
