Happy Christmas all... back soon
Happy Christmas all - "Happy Holidays" to all those Stateside.
And I leave you with a cheesy Christmas joke:
What do you call a blind reindeer?
No idea.

Vintage square sunglasses by Safilo - from the bottom of a drawer

It's been a while since I've seen vintage shades as good as these. They're by Italian eyewear giant Safilo and Elisa found them in the bottom of a drawer in a shop in her parents' village in Italy.
I think they're 1960s or 70s. I love the bridge and the detail where the temples join the frame.
With big thanks to eli__sa for letting me publish this terrific photograph. Feel free to comment if you have more detail!

Ćlise Crombez wears Gold and Wood eyewear
A 10-minute slideshow of pictures of Belgian model Ćlise Crombez wearing luxury eyewear brand Gold & Wood glasses and sunglasses. There are some great styles included...
Who makes Jo Brand's black and white glasses? Alain Mikli, that's who
![Alain Mikli AO715 black and white glasses Alain Mikli AO715 black and white glasses](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDe1oQpL1Fwk1YDMrL3V3_slyzwVTfDzp2QSfbLD6c0HQhINhemT0mTjlW5GnQSF_lhCiJh9frGpOS78RhE06drwQn747DdSkcEMJWTot1bKb4R101bQd2ZB1oEpBOwTj-RVImi7QA1g/s400/alain-mikli-AO715.jpg)
Primetime UK television got the twitterati talking this week when Jo Brand presented Have I Got News For You wearing an unusual, asymmetric pair of black and white glasses.
To be honest they didn't go down very well in most tweets; eyewear ignorance prevailed.
But Eye Wear Glasses thought they were bloody brilliant. Alain Mikli at his best. The style worn was AO715.
If you want to see how these Alain Mikli specs look on Jo Brand you can watch HIGNFY on iPlayer here... Until the BBC takes it down on Friday... Oh, and you can only watch this if you're in the UK.
Must do more on Mikli... Thanks to contactsandspecs, who sell the above specs, for the picture.
