Americans Are Turned On By Eyeglasses
By Hillary Lynne Rubin
In 1953, "How to Marry a Millionaire" debuted in the theaters with a gorgeous Marilyn Monroe wearing eyeglasses. Her character, Pola Debevoise, preferred bruises and walking into walls than wearing her frames - thus making seem nerdy and un-hip. In the 1970's Elton John seemed to make cool again but mostly for those who like outlandish, loud, bedazzled eyeglass frames. Elvis Costello is credited for bringing sexy back to in the 1980's for artsy-hipster men. LisaLoeb did her share for making cat eye frames look hot on the girl-next-door but it wasn't until Tina Fey sat atop her perch every Saturday night that Americans started to notice how hot a woman can look in eyeglasses!
So, what else turns on Americans about eyeglasses? A recent study done by Essilor of America asked more than 3,000 men and women about their perception of and eye wear. Their survey reveals a lot about where Americans stand on eyeglasses. The survey covers everything from in the fashion industry to those hot looking, eyeglass-wearing celebrities we love to emulate!
Ooops, she did it again... Britney Spears topped the list of sexiest spectacle-wearing celebrities among men surveyed by a whopping 44 percent! The women chose well - RichardGere took the number one spot with 35 percent proving that mature men can still rock far better than their younger counterparts.
Some would ask if glasses affect attractiveness or not. According to the survey,

73 percent of Americans asked said it has little to no impact what-so-ever. What about the old adage of "men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses?" An astounding 60 percent of men strongly disagreed with that expression while 62 percent of women flatly called it inaccurate and not true. Do glasses get in the way of intimate and romantic moments? Apparently 68 percent of respondent who have partners with stated no.
What about the perception of looking smarter when you wear eyeglass frames? It seems common knowledge that people who wear are perceived as being smarter but only 40 percent of those asked agreed to this perception while 39 percent thought people looked more sophisticated when they wear frames. The occupation most associated with wearing is, to no surprise, librarians with 74 percent, followed by teachers with 71 percent, lawyers with 56 percent, artists at 27 percent, and actors/musicians with 20 percent.
Which eyeglass frame styles rank sexiest? Rimless rank as the sexiest frames by both eyeglass wearers and those who do not wear at 49 percent. The second spot goes to metal frames with 38 percent. Would you consider wearing as a fashion accessory? Almost half of the American population would - even if they don't need prescription eyeglasses. However, wearing out-of-date and out-of-style can ruin your appearance according to 22 percent of those surveyed.

Dell also has one if I'm not all wrong. This is just a tad cooler tho. People will ask me: Whats that? And I'll go: It's my notebook-holder with an integrated keyboard painted in a smooth ninja-like color. Richaard

But who is going to carry a laptop, then carry this around with it. You might as well bold a handle on top of a desktop. Eugene

HP has had a docking station that does the exact same out for at least 2 years. Bitaemo

I remember Dell had a docking station for my old D800 that did the same thing. It was usefull for the fact that I did not have to worry about any of the cables and it raised the LCD to a level more akin to a desktop monitor. Nice to see a version that can be used by any(?) laptop.
I really like the fact that its portable, the Dell vesion was a monster and not portable at all, and it did not have the built in keyboard.
hmmmm maybe it was not "the same" but the idea was there. Pyper

I just buy a spare keybaord form e-bay for less than $10 after a year or so when they start to show up in good numbers. Saved me when my cursor key stuck a few months ago I was able to pull my spare out of storage and swap it on. Much better than having to use an external keyboard. Eugene

Guys I think he's kidding about the posture.
Have some leftover candy and relax!
I use an external KB for gaming on mine so I'm not putting the excessive wear on the "home" keys.
I like the whole concept, especially since it protects the keys when folded up.
Carrying an extra KB is cumbersome, but this will ease that a bit and will likely survive longer on the road.

I had the exact same thought. I've used a laptop exclusively since 1998 and don't sit hunched over or have any spinal problems. I've noticed that most people seem to think they need toslide the laptop back and plug in an extra keyboard and mouse, maybe that caaounts for part of it. Or maybe because they sit their chairs too high, every time I sit down at some other chair I end up banging my knees on the table/desk, those up too high chairs would make one hunch. Eugene

I'm not quite sure why you have to hunch to use a laptop, when I put mine on a table or desk I don't think I hunch, but perhaps I do. If you have to hunch to use it, why not ether get this, or get a desktop for home use. I use my desktop for gaming and other entertainment, and my laptop for working (as a writer I like to write other places than my dorm room). WCD_Thor
