We’re all drawn to weird little things. Some men fancy a dainty ankle far more than a massive set of bazoombas. Some painters notice the way someone puts their colours together, or the effect of sunset light on the colour of beach grass.

I am drawn to funky glasses, and I do not mean the cocktail variety (although that, of course, goes without saying).

And what do I say when I see a really cool set of glasses on the face of a total stranger? Why, I walk up to that stranger and I say,

“Those are really cool glasses…

They’re totally German Graphic Designer.”

It’s just what I do. And today at the Northern Voice Blogging Conference I did it to Maryam (that’s right, nobody drops a name like raincoaster…and she’s probably going “who?”).
