You could own Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Robbie Coltrane, Dawn French, Zoe Wanamaker or Stephen Fry’s glasses, if you bid in an Specs Appeal’s charity auction!

Until the 5th December, bidding is open on more than 120 celebrity sunglasses for Specs Appeal, which will help the charity’s work in helping blind people to see again, and improving the lives of people with disabilities.

Many of the glasses come with a signed note, and most are not as ridiculously priced as you would think!

I so want these. I want to analyze the handwriting on the card and I want to know if the specs have his smell on them! yeah, yeah I know I am weird!  :damn:

I can tell you already that he fascinated me with the 2 different types of "t"s. The first one is printed; second one is in script and the scripted one shows a little shyness and a very generous spirit  - as if we didn't know this already.  Sigh. Yum.

It would be fun to have his handwriting analysed!

I can't get too excited about glasses. I'd rather have a cardigan or a shirt or.... okay, I'll stop.

Yes, also that's a rather unusual "m" and I can't tell whether he's misspelled "people's" or just written the "e" on top of the "p."

His handwriting is actually all over the place - which suggests he doesn't use it much. But it's certainly intriguing. Is there a graphologist out there in SBO?

But he's got a great signature! That's probably what most of his writing consists of: autographing pictures and stuff, including pumpkins, lol.

I am not a graphologist but I do have a book about it called Handwriting Fundamentals written by Paula Sassi and Eldene Whiting.

"by all over the place", if you are referring to how he combines both printing and cursive script, according to the book, this combination indicates ingenuity and good problem solving abilities. It may also suggest as you say that he does not write very often. But, while the book also mentions that, it says it's because penmanship is a "practiced art". When we fall out of practice, people tend to get lazy with it, especially when we feel pressured or hurried. People who use this combination on a regular basis, are often very balanced and are constructive and practical thinkers who relate to both tangible and the non material aspects of life very well. But also, when written slowly, it indicates someone who is very conscious of revealing their emotions, it indicates a need for privacy.

I love this stuff and I think it's all very close to the mark!

P.S. The shipping from the UK is almost $50 USD which is currently higher than the bid for the item! So, I am going to take a pass, but I am so tempted!
