It's really nice. I thought "I don't really need a yet another updo/bun hair..." and then looked at it, saw chevybabe25 is the PA, and it went immediately onto my wishlist. Now I have to figure out how I'd use it so I can justify buying it.
Bookworm Hair is very nice! It's already in my cart.
Glasses have nothing to do with the intellect and much to do with deformed eyeballs. What a load of old cobblers, bah!
Mada's Teddy bear looks very nice:

My line of thought exactly, plus I don't have any hair yet where the back is done as realistically as in this one. Just FYI for all of you who have little storage / not so great video cards, the hair is 566 MB as zip, so not exactlx lightweight per se. I don't regret buying it at all, though, usually Chevybabe makes sure everything is really well useable.
I am just stunned how many people are traumatised from wearing glasses
in this and the other thread
to me as only a casual reading glasses only user it seemed as commonplace as wearing a hat and or sunglasses which I do obscessively out of fear of cataracts and skin cancer
most of my family wore glasses, some from childhood others later
it seemed normal, mundane to me
as for bullying, I certainly never needed glasses or any other outstanding feature to be mercilessly subjected to it throughout school physically and verbally
it may have been my neurodivergence though
however I can say unequivocally
everyone I know who wears glasses sun or sight wants them to look attractive on them
which gets me once again to DAZ product marketing
would you be looking to buy somehing marketed as mangy hair, baggy dresses, fugly hats, clonky shoes and daggy glasses for your mundane character if making a sexy visual novel?
like a large number of customers do?
OK I would but I am weird
By looking through the store for the past weeks, I consider Genesis 8 support has ended completely.
Well, ...
Maybe that indicates that G10 is on the way?
A teddybear...
The only thing it indicates is that the PA stopped making G8 products.
That is fair. I was joking actually. It seemed that G3, G8, G8.1 were going full steam ahead when the next generations dropped to my shock. But as I file my promos by generations I have also noted how few are now mixed generation, unless I have bought an older product in a sale. It has made me start to wonder about it.
Understandable. I try not to think about it and hope that we're going to stay with G9 for a while longer. There are still a lot of products that G9 could use clothing-wise, many interesting figures...
Mada's Teddy Bear is absolutely gorgeous and about to become the leading stuffed toy on my protaganists bed...the other stuffed toys are muttering and he's not even there yet :)
Only smart people have deformed eyeballs!!!!
Too soon?
Funny enough, there's an element of truth in that. The earlier you learn to read AND if you then become a bookworm, the more likely you are to become myopic (short-sighted). Has no affect on astigmatism. I was the bookworm with both myopia and astigmatism, my brother hated books and reading, he had only the astigmatism. My sister missed out on both, lucky for her.
OK, I'm willing to admit that I don't get it. What do you mean?
Huh. I wonder what the average age is for bookworms needing them? I spent my childhood with my nose in a book but didn't get glasses until I was 10, then I phased into needing bifocals (middle-sighted?), went to vision therapy to get out of them with the result that I became near-sighted again... and now that I'm careening into middle age I'm back to needing both distance and close-up prescriptions.
It was an oblique reference to Pol Pot and the Cambodian genocide, which included among its targets "intellectuals", defined so broadly as to include anybody wearing glasses.
Oh, OK. I didn't pick up on that. I probably should have, since my grandnephew is half Cambodian, and he and my niece used to live there.
I was about 10 when I got mine as well. I can still read without any but my optometrist told me that won't be for much longer.
I didn't know that to wear glasses was enough to be killed. Had to verify it, many thanks for that information!
"Smart people don't like me"
Not by Pol Pot
doesn't wear glasses either
I started reading really early before school and was reading books from my mother's book club and an encyclopedia for kids, comic books, magazines, anything I could get my hands on. I had to wait until I went into high school for glasses. We lived in Oregon then and they had a state law requiring medical, dental and eye exams and if the doctors required anything, the parents had to provide the care. Finally I was able to get glasses after years of telling my parents I couldn't see black/greenboard at the front of the class. I actually can see distance in my right eye and close up in my left, and I have a lazy eye and astigmatism. After aging and needing bifocal/trifocals, it is a nightmare to get glasses that work and even with insurance, still cost a bundle. And now I have increasing cataracts.
When I put my first pair of glasses on and walked out of the shop in Portland, I looked across the street to the library and saw trees, AND LEAVES! I didn't know you could SEE leaves! My eyesight before had been like a Monet painting. I never avoided wearing my glasses after that. I can't wear contacts. No wish to either. But my eyesight makes it really hard to shoot the M-16 or use a microscope or telescope.
I think I have had glasses since I was about three. I am still a -11, and that is after it has eased some, so without them I could see very little. Now on varifocals, of course.
Aren't leaves amazing?? That was one of the first things I noticed when I got my first pair, too. My parents had taken me in every year (both of them need glasses, and Mom had needed them from a very young age, so there was a genetic predisposition) so it couldn't have been too long that I hadn't been able to see them, but it's weird what you adjust to, especially as a kid. To this day that's my benchmark on if I need to go in and get checked: how well I can see leaves at a distance.
That and if I start getting unexplained headaches.
I made it all the way to 9 without glasses, but I've had them ever since. I think I am about -4. Both eyes are different. I can see OK without glasses to walk around the house, but I couldn't use the computer or drive without them.
Ah, now it is if I can easily see road signs as I drive. Of course if I have been using my computer glasses to work on the computers or just read, my eyes are a bit screwy anyways and need to rest. But to do anything that needs me to be sure where I am in relation to something else, stairs, doors, furniture edges... I better have them on. I am a walking disaster zone of bruises on my sides.
But, my brother was legally blind without his. I am not sure if it was physical or was due to being a premie in 1953 and transported across New Mexico in an incubator by my mother right after his birth and possibly too much oxygen. He wore coke bottles glasses early on and was dyslexic. Double whammie.
I wouldn't trust me to drive with them - among other reasons. The glasses shrink things a lot, so even with the acuity of the lenses objects are effectively further away and so harder to see than they would be for a peson with no or less severe myopia (or at least, that is my excuse).
