Dancing With The Stars In Their Spectacles

I don’t know more about this/these spectacles - whatever they are - than the caption (Dancing With The Stars cast out on a jolly).
But I like the picture and whatever the spec are.
I want a pair!

20,000 pairs of Spectacles/Glasses To Overseas Charity
It’s along time since Spectacles Blog mentioned Vision Aid Overseas (VAO).  To see more on their work with old specs & glasses on Spectacles Blog follow this link.
But there’s a great story of a man in Diss, UK who has made such a significant contribution.Â

“You Don’t Know Jack” in Character Specs…
I don’t know about you but sometimes you see a picture of someone and it just looks wrong.  I know tht Al Pacino is older now but these spectacles still don’t  seem to work as “attractive”.  He may be in character: I know nothing about this film - its [...]

Diet Affects Your Glasses/Spectacles Prescription?
I keep reading that a factor in eye sight is nutrition and how a balanced diet can help your eyesight or vice-versa.  Apparently you need three vitamins in your diet to help: Vitamins A, C and E. The most important is Vitamin A (Retinol) which is found in carrots, tomatoes, mangoes, cabbages and lettuce - [...]

I managed to leave a few posts for every other day just to keep Specacles Blog refreshed while I was away from a pc for a while.
If you’re reading this then I never got to get anything more interesting or relevant to replace it with.  Thanks for [...]

1970’s or 80’s ski goggles come sunglasses
I can’t date these but they were the bee’s knees whenever it was.  How different to today’s ski apparatus - or at least the fashioanble stuff you see for sale for the fashion conscious.
Very kindly modelled for me by the unsusecting Doug and Accompanied by the delightful Chalky in [...]

… and rose tinted glasses and shades… all in one!
I told you that you’d see Marcos again, and here he is though this is not his wife to be - she’s someone else’s wife but she was there and the bride had already been evaporated away to be fresh for the big day.
Now these specs [...]

Marcos In The Specs He’s Dreamed Of
My friend Marcos, went to New York and came back in his Oliver Peoples sunglasses and even though he won’t tell me how much they cost, he said they were worth it because he’s been looking for some like this all his life.
Wish you well to wear them then.
You’re [...]
