Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian
The Unobstructed View
we all like a nice pair of sunnies.
for me it's been a catalogue of errors over the years from
sitting on them,
being hit in the mush by a ball with them on,
heading a ball with them on my forehead,
one of the kids breaking the placky "wrap" type ones,
leaving them on a sydney deli counter but realising my mistake before getting to the door only to be met with a blank expression and "nah mate, haven't seen them",
to getting the best pair imo that i have had nicked from my car in the crime-free paradise that is new zealand's south island.
i still mourn the loss of the latter pair, Killer Loop Pandemonium. the most comfortable, least light seeping pair i have ever owned, the most expensive pair i've ever owned, the style that i cant find for love nor money, the style that had many copies but i cant find no matter where i look.
i wont spend a lot of wad on sunny's now due to the reasons above, if i had to have prescription ones it would be different but i have 20/20 vision (and i dont mean i've slugged a litre bottle of mad-dog). i've had my current pair for maybe 18 months but are now a bit stuffed due to the youngest bending the arms the wrong way, which with placky ones tends to put stress cracks in the lenses.
so my search for some summer eyewear is on, i know oakley eye jackets etc etc etc are all boss but no way will i be paying that sort of money, fakes will do for me tbh.
currently 'eyeing' up a pair of these
or these
although the tan-lines would be a bit big with those.
the only prob with on the internet is not being able to try them on though.
dont like wayfarers, dont mind aviators although would only go for some mirror 'chips' ones.
what do you shade your mince pies with.
btw i don't wish to look like lance armstrong, a triathlete or dog the bounty hunter
