School may be out for summer but the festival season is far from over. Reading Festival – the mother of them all – is still to come at the end of August (27th-29th), followed by Bestival in September (9th-12th), two of the season’s unmissable events.
Now the whole point of going to a festival is to step outside of your comfort zone, throw caution to the wind, follow your heart, not wash, stay up all night – in other words, do whatever you damn well please. However, there are...

Well folks, it’s that big summer movie blockbuster time of year again and next on the list to see after Iron Man 2 is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time staring the seriously buffed up Jake Gyllenhaal and local lass Gemma Arterton who comes from just down the road from us.
Fortunately for us, as this movie is set long before a time when designer sunglasses were seriously cool or even available, it means we can enjoy the film without...

A few of us gadget fans from SelectSpecs Towers took an arduous 4 hour trip up to the Birmingham NEC to see Jason Bradbury, Suzi Perry, Ortis Deley and John Bentley at the 2010 Gadget Show Live exhibition on the 10th April… “oooooh, splendid!” in my best John Bentley impression.
We’ve arrived after a tiring 4 hour journey!
One of the things I was most eager to look at being a bit of a movie and general home cinema / electronics type of...

Prof. Brian Cox may be incredibly intelligent, but what is he doing putting his Ray-Ban sunnies down in the sand of the Namib Desert? And if that's not bad enough he then puts them lenses down in the sand where they were no doubt SUBAR (scratched-up beyond all recognition).

A few of us here are avid gadget fans (we won’t admit to being geeks now, well maybe just a bit) and love to turn on the TV after a day at the office and sit down to watch Suzi Perry and Jason Bradbury on Channel Five’s The Gadget Show on a Monday night. Aside from all the latest fantastic gadgetry we get to take a look at, we also get to see the fashion conscious Jason “God among geeks”...

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...

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...
