It all started a 2 weeks ago when i was wondering around the city on a Friday night when i +1 to my glasses collection. Usually I wouldn't make such a big deal out of glasses since i have so many, but these r realy cool!
I first saw these at the night markets in Chinatown. I couldn't help but notice their unique K-Pop style and appeal... and somehow they seemed kind of familiar (we'll get to that later). I was with a friend, so it was kinda akward when i started gwaking at them when they were still like 5m away. LOL (hopefully no one else noticed). I had to try them on and I wasn't going to leave without a pair for myself.
First things first, I had to ask about the price. The girl said $15 each, so i was kinda like, I could go on ebay and probably get them for cheaper (cheap bas***d.. i know). Anyhow, since i saw them i might as well try them on for size and also to see if they suited me (sif they wouldnt LOL). They came in so many colours and also in matt or shiny finish. Man, I must'v spent like 20min standing there choosing. By the end i think i tried on almost every pair. As I was doing so, and the gril was helping me and reccomending stuff, she said i can give u 2 for $25 if you like. That was better! $12.50, better than $15. So, i ended up with 2 pairs, one with green arms and one with yellow. Oh yer, also forgot to mention these come in both reading and sunnies. My green ones have the sun tint, whilst the yellow is clear.
She also gave me a cleaning cloth for them and also a glasses bag for ONE pair... I only checked this after i bought them as was walking away and i looked in the bag and i was kinda like; why is there only one? But then my friend said thats what she offered you. Um.... only 1 bag for 2 pairs hu?!... o.o Oh well, i have extra bags at home anyway.
So, these are great glasses and i would reccomend anybody to get them! :)
Oh yes, how i said they looked familiar... well turns out that Mir from MBLAQ (woooo!) had worn them for a variety show interview the week earlier! So yer, i knew they were "IN".
Anyhow, if you want a pair, i'd reccomend you going down to the Chinatown markets one weekend to try and track youself down a pair. You WON'T be dissapointed! I also tried to find them on eBay to check the price and they are actually cheaper from the markets! Look up "pixel glasses" on eBay to look, but they all come from the US or the UK and the colour combinations are NOT as nice as the ones in the market.
Also, here's a link to the original designer Dzmitry Samal, who has some really great designs. I'm sure Samal Design will be making a huge appearance in the 2012 fashion scene. Just waiting for Gaga to give it some promo :)
