Sure. She's supposed to be a fashion dunce, but I like her style. Maybe the boots don't quite go.

If I were to criticize her outfit, I would say the green jacket doesn't go with the black skirt. If the jacket were blue, maybe, it would be different. I dunno. I'm a fashion dunce too, so maybe I'm wrong with that.

Daria's look is an anti-fashion statement. It's deliberate.

Acebsc I like the boots but then when I have a choice all I wear is boots. I like the biker alter ego pic of Daria as a biker

I like those glasses too.

I would agree, she does look good with glasses. I am sure you have all seen her without them and she just does not look good, because she is squinty eyed.

I find glasses *very* hot.

I've never quite understood this whole business where people with glasses are seen as somehow inferior or, at least, different. I think that most supermodels are much more deformed than someone like Daria...

Jane, on the other hand... :)

Dorothy Parker, in a poem entitled "News Item"

Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses

I must say that Dorothy Parker is one of my favorite poets. She's got that caustic wit and sarcasm.

I must say, though, that I, too, have a thing for chicks with glasses, and for Tina Fey :). She rocketh my world.

Just my 2� (please tell me if the cent sign didn't translate.)

Wasn't it Dorothy Parker who said, "If all the people at this party were laid end to end I wouldn't be at all surprised."

Dorothy Parker also explained why suicide is a bad idea:

Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live.

I don't know about Rick's claim, but M Man has quoted another one of DP's fabulous works, Resum�. I'm sorry. I guess i'm more of a dorothy parker geek than I was aware, and much more than you guys care to know.

It's late. i hope i'm coherent.

Might as well throw another in (Observation):

If I don't drive around the park, I'm pretty sure to make my mark. If I'm in bed each night by ten, I may get back my looks again, If I abstain from fun and such, I'll probably amount to much, But I shall stay the way I am, Because I do not give a damn.

Not really. If I have learned anything, it's that there is more to a person than looks.

Right on. And by that comment's standards I definitely am no ass.

i have to agree. i wear glasses, and have never found them to put men off. in fact, many of them don't bother looking at my face at all. :-)

Girls wearing glasses are one of the things I find ridiculously sexy.

The only problem I had was once I was making out with someone and we had to get mine adjusted because it was so crooked afterwards.

Partly why I wear contacts most of the week. ~~ Gloria

You have a busy week, then? ^_^

i sat on my glasses once. i took them off to do my makeup and put them on the chair, instead of somewhere sensible like the desk. then the phone rang and i answered it and sat down.

the glasses didn't break, but they were never quite the same afterwards.

I've broken my glasses in several places: sitting on them, dropping them, accidentally ripping them in half while trying to clean them, you name it. They've had both earpieces unscrewed and screwed back on, broken off and glued back on, the nosepiece broken, taped, and glued back together, both lenses knocked out and stuck back in.

Both the earpieces now go off in opposite crooked directions, and I have a permanent lopsidedness. When I get really sweaty, my glasses will start to fall off my head at random, inconvenient moments. One edge of the left lens is all scratched up with ancient fossilised remnants of Krazy Glue. The same lens also pops out often when I'm trying to clean it, because the frame around it is not exactly straight anymore, and it has to keep getting bent and popped in place right.

Why do I still have these glasses? Can't afford new ones.

I have to say, though, it only took me about 5 minutes of heavy making out once before it dawned on me to say, 'Hold on', and go stick them over on the table before getting back down to it. ;)

More often than not, I have bought metal rimmed specs so breaking isn't a problem. I have had more than one pair pop their lenses though, plus that annoying habit that one pair had for losing screws so that a lens would drop out or an arm would drop off.

My current pair have scrape patches where I kept putting them down lens side down. I lose my glasses more than I break them, but I lose the cases even more often!

Same here. Unemployment does that to you, I guess!

Tilt!!! Well, actually I tend to take them off before I ever start... :9

i haven't had plastic-rimmed since i was 6. i had one pair whose lenses would fall out without warning, usually at embarrassing times like during classes. never lost a screw.

i scratched my last pair falling over. i tripped over a curb whilst holding some money, and my brain couldn't work out whether my face was worth risking the �20 i'd drop if i put my hands out. while it was thinking about it, i hit the ground, cutting my lip and nose, chipping my tooth and ruining my glasses. the consequent dentist visit and new pair of glasses cost much more than the �20 which i could easily have picked up after falling down, had i dropped it.

"Nerd Chic"? Shouldn't that be "Misery Chic"?

What a coincidence! I just finished watching "Daria" on Noggin. Guess which episode? "Misery Chick!"

Re-watching MC, I thought the color of Daria's hair and jacket were different from usual, kinda washed out. God, I'm such a geek for noticing stuff like that!

The color improved a *lot* in later seasons. Notably, S4 and 5.

Gamer wrote in message news:...

But sometimes in later seasons I noticed that the color of Daria's jacket was TOO dark. Even on my TV, with the contrast and brightness at their max, connected with coax to a DISH Network box, her jacket is too dark in some parts of some episodes on noggin. It's basically black. And then sometimes in earlier episodes, it's too bright.
