There may be a better place to post this but I can not find it. Rebecca looks amazingly cute in her glasses. Guys are likely giving up on contact lenses by the thousands. Having seen her without glasses I was surprised but she looked so good and her same sweet happy face that it was clear she happy either way. I may still hide my glasses but Rebecca looks hot. Just remember no interviews with Strauss-Cochon; they don't work out well.
