Fashion for Writers

Chris got some new glasses recently (pictured). Prescription glasses — as any of you other four-eyes know — are ridiculously expensive. Guess how much these were, with frames plus lenses? $25. That’s right. Brand new frames, brand new prescription lenses. 

It was our Bostonian friends who introduced us to a site called Zenni Optical. Their website design leaves something to be desired, but they get the job done quite nicely; all you need is to send them your prescription (which can be acquired by calling your optometrist) and a few pupil-related measurements, and they’ll get you a fine pair of spectacles as a very low cost. 

After browsing their site for a bit, I’ve come across these dandies:

A kaleidoscopic effect. For seeing through walls.

Like my half-rims, only upside-down. I have never seen glasses like this before.

It is the year 2098. I am wearing these while riding in my hover-car.

Perhaps you, too, would like a series of glasses in a fine design. Imagine changing your frames to match your ensemble! Fancy that; fancy that! 

P.S. Be on the lookout for FFW’s very first giveaway. I’d received emails about other advertising opportunities, but this is the first one I’ve been genuinely excited about. I’d keep the prize for myself if it weren’t so unethical…
