Pince-nez! I would like to hear more about yours later, as your opinions continue to develop.
We were in Laramie, Wyoming, yesterday -- a town that is very proud of its Frontier West heritage -- and there was an optometrist's shop that puts prescription lenses in antique frames. They had quite the selection of antique pince-nez, including a gold-toned one whose chain seemed to end in... a hairpin? I'm not sure. But I did stand there thinking that you would know (would you were there), because you are very clearly The Person Who Knows All Things 1890s.
ALSO, congrats on the new publication!
:: ...my story is a crossover between Commedia dell'arte and Detective Noir. (Someone else's prompt from Flash Fiction Month on DA, but I like to think I did it justice...) ::
Oo, that's an intriguing combination. And I find it very easy to believe that you did it justice. :-)
