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?”).

Most people I see in Seville wearing super-cool glasses are German. Or maybe Swiss.
Whatever.
Same goes for anyone wearing interesting clothing here – you just gotta know they won’t be Spanish.
That’s weird, given the fashionista image Spain has. But not everybody is Penelope Cruz, it’s true.
