Sunglasses Onstage is another blog I found recently. I love their tagline, which is a John Cale quote, “The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn’t stand the sight of the audience.” Sunglasses Onstage really know the industry and can be quite scathing, but in a very amusing and probably quite justified way.

Eye Heart Glasses on Twitter

Sometimes I don’t write whole posts on certain frames, so I link to them on Twitter instead, which is just over there —-> in the sidebar.

My SelectSpecs order

selectspecs

You know how I wrote about that SelectSpecs sale last month? Well, a couple of weeks ago, my order arrived, but I’ve been terribly slack (also known as busy with a brand new job and classes after work) and not posted about them until now.

I really like how they look and I can see just fine while wearing them. Unless you examined them really closely or held them in your hands, you’d never be able to tell that the quality of the frames, as you’d expect for $7US, is not the best. The plastic feels very light and not like my other acetate glasses. But again, for $7US complete with prescription lenses, it makes it very difficult to complain. I approve!

The wonderful Fishie bought a pair and she also approves. I think the exact phrase was, “LOVELOVELOVE”.

The sale is still on, so you can go get buyin’ if you need a back-up pair and were waiting for some approval.

P.S. This is post #100! Glee!
