Another much acclaimed model from my first weblog was young Farishta who posed in the same vintage pair of myodisc glasses from the cat eye era shown in the Lettie portraits. Back in 1960, anti-reflective coating on lenses did not exist and as a result, portraits of ladies in glasses invariably showed lots of glare. The stronger the glasses, the more glare. Ladies in myodisc glasses were always uneasy when they noticed that somebody was watching them. This reaction is shown in the lower portrait. If one was lucky, the lady in question soon came over her initial reaction when she saw that the looker was just an innocent schoolboy (middle and upper portrait).
