Strange question and feel kinda weird asking it.
I have a twice-weekly after hours class for a couple of kids in their own home. Sons and daughters of the top doctors in the area.
One of the students is a girl aged about 12 or 13 and is (quite rare in Korea) a really nice kid. Very smart, polite and also extremely shy.
She has recently started wearing glasses and is really self-conscious about them. I was drawing charactertures (spelling???) of the kids last night (which they loved - probably because it doesn't really involve english) and when it was this girls turn she begged me not to draw her with glasses. Actually had tears in her eyes.
I went through the "awkward glasses-wearing geek phase" myself (still in that phase to be honest, never grew out of it) so I can relate to how she feels.
Although I would have thought that in Korea you would be teased if you were NOT a glasses wearing nerd.....
Anyway I had the idea to print out a few photos of famous "beautiful women" who wear glasses to somehow incorporate into the next lesson. Make her realise that glasses can be cool. (For some reason I've always had a "thing" for 'chicks with glasses'. Not sure why but I do. But thats probabaly not an appropriate thing to share with the class.)
But for some reason I can't honestly think of ANY famous glasses-wearing "beautiful women". Not just beautiful but also famous for being smart, high-achieving etc etc. I don't want to encourage the "image is everything" and the "women are just to look pretty"attitude of koreans either.
But suggestions of "famous" attractive smart glasses-wearing (and preferably asian) women? Anybody? |
I think that's a great idea, but if I could make a minor suggestion...be subtle about it, don't draw TOO much attention to the fact that the celebrities (sp?) are wearing glasses. Kids are smart, she'll make the connection. It may be that she just DOES NOT want to wear glasses. I have a bald spot on top. It doesn't matter how many pictures of Bruce Willis or Tiger Woods I look at, I STILL don't want to be bald.  |

good point, MOS, but as I said:

Whoops, you're right, it is an old thread, isn't it. She probably owns a pair of Prada designer specs by now. |

But that doesn't mean we can't post pics of beautiful women we love who wear glasses. Like Wanda Homefree:

| I have, ahem, heard, some websites will even show a lot of attractive women with glasses. |
