Carla 301

I don't remember where these green Conquistador glasses were acquired but they have been in my collection for over a decade. The prescription lenses are quite mild, so the glasses were mainly used during photo shoots with models blessed with perfect eyesight (Rachel 022, Astrid 058, Hiska 084, Jade 129, Monique 091). A notable exception was Melissa who had a prescription not unlike Carla's at the time. Melissa was a model in the same league as Carla and she made a deliberate choice to use the Conquistador glasses at the very start of her photo shoot. Melissa mentioned the frame colour and she also said they looked like friendly glasses. When she started posing in them, my thoughts went straight back to the photo shoot with Carla, two years before. Something similar happened during the photo shoot with Jade, a professional model in Brighton. She was about to do a bit of acting in front of a glasses boutique and instinctively she picked the Conquistador glasses from the box. Friendly glasses again. Jade posed in the style of the witty girl next door and the glasses were just a minor accessory in the series. The witty girl next door just happened to wear glasses and that was it. When Carla saw the giant green arm in my living room, she picked the Conquistador glasses as they might be a perfect match with the hand. Again, this series is not primarily about glasses but they do add a nice, natural touch to it.
