Got FAN? Flat Asian Nose

Growing up, I was never able to find glasses that fit well and looked good. The pair of frames that I always ended up with, was the one that stayed on my nose the longest without sliding down. Yes, I had the curse of the FAN! Flat Asian Nose!!!  The glasses I wore were never terribly stylish looking. I recently went through a photo album, I couldn’t find ONE picture of me with glasses. Probably because whenever I saw a camera near me, I’d whip those glasses right off! Uh huh- NO WAY was anyone going to capture me wearing those.

Needless to say, I blame my dateless high school years and even later years because of my glasses.

Really, you say? Yeah, you heard me. I’m cute! But I didn’t know it because I was wearing horrible glasses. I’m cute! But I didn’t know it because I was so self-conscious about my looks and wearing HORRIBLE glasses. I was cute but I could never tell if a boy was cute because I always took my glasses off at social gatherings. Nothing says sexy like someone squinting at you. Or those really big deep grooves you get in your nose from wearing glasses that don’t quite fit right.

And if you don’t believe that glasses or ill fitting glasses or ill fitting glasses that look really horrible can impact your social life, self esteem, etc. check out some of these posts I have found from other Asians bemoaning the fit problem.

Devoureddreams wrote: “From high end to low all of my sunglasses were uncomfortable, always sliding off my face, and a lot of them left oily makeup marks on my cheekbones.”

Kissablemenou wrote “I have the same problems with the cheek marks. Another thing is though that I do I have a smaller face that most of the time the lens are just too big on my face.”

Ooglyduckling wrote. “each time that i smile my makeup would transfer onto the frame. i also have a difficult time keeping the glasses on when it is hot out.”

It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one out there who has FAN and had difficult times looking good in glasses because of it. It’s funny, reading through all the posts, I get the feeling if we were all put in a room together, we might have a competition: who has the flattest Flat Asian Nose.

Success at our Premiere Exhibition at Vision Expo East New York, 2010!

Spring is in the air! We are happy to announce that we had a successful show in New York. It was exciting to be showing for the first time and we generated a lot of interest and even some orders!
In time, we believe that more and more people will hear about us, and see the difference this line of eyewear makes. We also brought along several new, never seen before models, that were presented at the show. We are in the process of putting all the pictures up online for all to see. Be patient and come back to check in on us for the new frames and sunglasses. We hope everyone likes the new photos on our website. You can have a peek at a few of the new frames worn by the models.
We added more color, more interest and most importantly more variations to accomodate and fit a wider audience. You asked for color and details and we heard you! They are eye catching and we are sure one of them is for you! As we speak, new designs are in the works to be revealed in Vision West Expo, Las Vegas in September! Keep your comments coming!
Enjoy & Spring and keep in touch!
