1/24/2005: Eyeglasses piercing

Undertoad · 01-24-2005, 11:04 AM

Suggested by Syrinx, here's one I kind of hope doesn't become fashion. These glasses are held on by a piercing through the bridge of this guy's nose.

Urgh! I'd be too worried about walking into a door or falling over. Still, at least they won't slide down his nose..

This idea is beyond stupid. Not to sound like anyone's mama, but piercing the bridge of your nose is dangerous. Very close to brain tissue and potential for infection is huge. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Perhaps but at least the glasses make you look smart.

Quite. And if they penciled in a mustache and goatee...they could pass for a member of the Professorati! Brilliant!

I want to see them in the flip up position.

I'm wating for the first fist fight.

I think they look cool.

I would never get them because they are not practical and I'm a big believer in designing things to work well before even beginning to consider how they look. But these do look good.

This makes me gag. As a person who wears glasses, I question how one would clean them without gouging ones eyeballs out?

Or yanking on the lenses too hard and causing more injury.

Also, I know a stupid person that had that part of his nose pierced and his body didn't like it. The barbell eventually worked its way through his skin and fell off. Now he has a big ugly scar. Why are people so stupid?!

There was a character in some William Gibson book who had mirrored sunglasses implanted around her eyes. That would be a pretty cool look - for someone other than me.

I don't remember if it got into how she managed tears, eye gunk, and discarded lashes...

glatt · 01-24-2005, 01:27 PM

I remember the same book. She didn't like people touching her implants because the fingerprints were a pain, and someone ended up going for her implants in a fight. There were an achilles heel.

What's next..
ear-protection holded by piercing.

That was Molly, the book was Neuromancer. If I remember correctly, her tear ducts were routed back into her mouth, so instead of crying, she spit.

This guy should stay away from pullover sweaters.

Dead on. Awesome book. If i remember correctly they also acted as a display. While the downsides of this are...noticeable (wouldn't contacts be a touch easier matey?) if you could have it also act as a display.....awesome....ok I need to go de-geek.

Wearing them whie asleep seems a tad too far though, I'd be terrified of rolling over and waking up screaming in a pool of blood or something. I get the feeling he sleeps alone somehow.

Not only the dificulty sleeping with them and cleaning them but what about when he comes from the cold outside into a warm room and they fog up?

Or how about showering or swimming with them attached to your face? Doh!
