Guys and Their Eyes
November 19, 2012
By Deirdre Carroll: Senior Editor
Men’s style has come a long way since the rise of the metrosexual several years back. Metrosexuality kicked off a masculine revolution that has become a part of evolving popular culture, but its inherent sense of vanity has since given way to a much simpler appreciation for masculine style.
VM is revisiting the contemporary young men’s market and has spoken to experts on the segment, as well as eyewear suppliers, to explore this new generation of young men and what they are looking for in their eyewear…
Do Over
November 19, 2012
This issue was originally dated Nov. 12 but Sandy knocked us out of commission for a week and pushed back the issue date.
Compared to many in the area, VM fared pretty well but my original opinion, A Storm’s A’Comin’, and its “calm before the storm” metaphor seemed insensitive. Luckily, the later issue date allowed us to pull the piece before I made a serious gaffe.
Pre-Sandy, I was worried about how busy it is lately and how, based upon several conversations I had at VEW and Silmo about folks’ ambitious plans for the new year, 2013 is shaping up to be even more insane.
But living in Lower Manhattan and being without electricity, water and heat for nearly a full week (not to mention internet or cell service!) has made me more appreciative of the things I often take for granted and thankful for the things I do have.
At VM, we have talked extensively about new initiatives for 2013 and by all accounts many other companies have big plans for January and beyond as well; the kinds of plans that make you nervous because you know they’ll require a great deal of time management and organization. Luckily, we have a highly capable team here at Vision Monday.
Like senior editor, John Sailer, who launched dba, a new newsletter devoted to covering leading regional and local retailers and practices (see the preview issue at VisionMonday.com) and group editor, Andy Karp who debuts Eye2, a newsletter that explores the next generation of vision technologies (see Page 20). Not to mention one of the unsung heroes of Vision Monday, web content editor Lindsay Tiwald, who is working to help overhaul VisionMonday.com and the newsletters’ new format.
Rarely, does life allow us a do over to reflect on what we may have first viewed with trepidation with a new perspective. ■

For many parts of the country October means changing leaves, brisker nights and warm, autumnal colors, but for many it also means thinking pink. This month is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and optical companies are showing their commitment to
