Cheryl Cole, one of the girls from the successful girl group Girls Aloud, took to the stage last night to perform 2009s 4th best selling single and Brit nominated “Fight For This Love” at the 2010 Brit Awards wearing the Ray-Ban 3026 Aviator Sunglasses in ‘L2846 Arista’.
I deliberately used the word ‘perform‘ in place of ‘sing‘ as it was quite possibly one of the worse cases of miming I’ve ever witnessed, and for someone that sits amongst a panel of judges and criticises the singing performance of others on that talent show…

We’re pretty big sports fans at SelectSpecs and two years ago we were glued to our TV screens as we had our most successful Summer Olympics in 100 years at Beijing. London 2012 couldn’t come soon enough in our eyes, but in the meantime we’ve been enjoying the Winter Olympics in Vancouver just as much, even if Team GB aren’t likely to do so well in these Winter events. I would suggest that we don’t get the snow in this country, but lately it seems the Canadians could borrow some of…

Here on the SelectSpecs blog we write a lot of posts about celebrity glasses but so far we’ve neglected their cartoon cousins. There have been so many awesome cartoon characters that wear specs over the years - here is our selection of some of the best ones that we’ll always remember with fond nostalgia…
1. Hans Moleman (The Simpsons)
Without doubt one of the funniest Simpsons characters, Hans Moleman’s awesome powers of feeble ineptitude undoubtedly stem from his super thick (and frankly pretty useless) goggle-eye glasses. The poor guy always seems to be…

In a bid to give you an idea of all the latest and supposedly “fashionable” eye wear I’ve endured countless hours of aural & visual pain and discomfort while studying videos (and images) of 2010 Brit Nominee Lady Gaga, also known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta born March 28 1986. As you can probably tell, I’m not really a big fan of her manufactured pop-tastic music and find her slightly irritating as an artist - perhaps due to her appearance on Jonathan Ross in 2009 and her futuristic if not wild/crazy dress…

Recently released on DVD and Blu-Ray - The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is the Tony Scott re-make of the classic 1974 movie starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. The new movie stars Denzel Washington (Book of Eli) and John Travolta taking over the roles of the lead characters in this 21st Century update. Having only watched the 1974 version last Summer myself (and loving it), I decided it was about time I rented the new version of the film to see how it compared.
From the point of view of a blog about glasses, it…

Further to my previous post about Denzel Washington wearing Oakley Sunglasses in The Book of Eli, I have just been informed that another character in the film is also wearing sunglasses. The rather hot looking Mila Kunis, who voiced over Meg Griffin in Family Guy for the past 10 years and stared in the 2008 movie Max Payne, wears Mosley Tribes Raynes (created by Oliver Peoples) during her role as Solara.
“The Book of Eli“, is a post-apocalyptic tale in which a lone warrior, (Washington) fights his way across the wastelands of…

Just before Christmas we at SelectSpecs.com took a trip to the local cinema to see James Cameron’s latest big budget Sci Fi epic, Avatar in 3-D. If there’s a single word I could use to describe this film it would have to be “Awesome!”, it’s an absolute visual masterpiece, and wearing the RealD Polarised glasses (see below) for full glorious 3-D effect, it’s absolutely breathtaking.
My only previous experiences with films featuring 3-D technology is the Terminator 2 3-D ride at Universal Studios in Florida while on a family holiday many years ago. While…
