Where can I get some men's two toned horn rimmed optical quality eyeglasses on the net?
1951 Patent - Rose Colored Glasses for Chickens

I was chasing some men's black to clear (crystal) coloured eyeglasses. Of a quality seen in the American Optical 1950s brand. I am chasing either deadstock / original frames or contemporary reproductions / similar styles.


Go on ebay, and put in a request for them, someone probably has a pair in a drawer.

I asked my 58 year old mom for you and she said "Blue eyeshadow and ice pink would make you a cool girl, the square girls stuck to just basic red lipstick, but applied heavily."

    At last I've managed to get back to you with a post about men's fashion week here in Paris. I attended only a handful of shows, but for me what happens on the runway is probably the least interesting element of these events. I relish the ambiance at the start of a show, which always reminds me of the beginning of a bullfight. It's a carnival of arrivals, greetings, seating, fidgeting, loud conversations and waving of invitations in front of perspiring faces. Circling PR people with walkie talkies dart nervous glances around the room and direct stragglers to their places. Compared to this lengthy and complex social interplay, the actual event is short, sharp and brutal. Even the clothes are more interesting off-piste than on. The runway is a glimpse of the future. But you can get a very accurate idea of current male fashions by looking at the journalists covering the shows. They dress to be seen and snapped by armies of trailing bloggerazzi. This season, taupe jackets, heavy 1950s eyeglasses, waistcoats and bow ties were all in evidence. And when they weren't wearing shorts, they wore their trousers at half-mast, showing a stratum of sock or an escarpment of bare ankle. in Brazil.
