this style can deservedly be called a "horn rimmed" style, its generally thought of as historical moniker noting the history of polished "horn" or tortoise shell, and has come to mean any style using materials that resemble the original look, even those with metallic accents. Personally, I've always believed the continued popularity of the term "horn rimmed" was due to the protrusions coming out to accommodate the temple bars, a consistent feature of t-shell/plastic/acetate frames. But either way, the term isn't mistaken. WiltonPyle ( talk) 15:40, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Come on, adding an image of yourself repeatedly to an article when others object? Are you serious? The image is poorly composed and has bad lighting. This is a tiny stub, and two images are more than enough. This is about illustrating the wearing of the glasses and their notability, and an image of Malcolm X does this better. There is no encyclopedic reason to include an image of yourself, and I find it rather immature. VanTucky talk 18:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
