Try as I might, I couldn’t suppress the urge to show these to the world. Amazing vinyl sunglasses with stainless steel temples decorated with old film strips of your choice… that’s right, porno movie stills from the 50s and 60s are all the rage now. Go check them out at
Tipton Eyeworks. The interesting part of the glasses (besides having bettie page’s caboose half an inch from your face at all times) is the process through which they acquire the vinyl. Since they go through so much of it, the company arranged for a Czech plant to press new records for unknown musicians (the musicians started as friends, now it’s spreading). When the records are done, they sell them, give them away, donate copies to the band, and finally use the leftovers for the glasses. Sweet huh? If you want your records shipped around Europe, Asia and even North America… shoot ‘em an
email… can’t hurt to ask right?
“All Cinematique frames are decorated with strips of film. A visible piece of story telling history graces the temple of every frame. The temples are made by recycling 35mm and 16mm movies. Tipton makes no discretion concerning the media on the film. Some of the film is collected from cinemas and date from after 1989 (fall of Communism in Hungary). Other rolls are purchased at the flea market or through other channels. The scenes are carefully selected for visibility. This means that we search for footage that is high in contrast to ensure a stunning temple. We can even make custom temples with film of your choice. Tipton Eyeworks has recently been acquiring vintage 16mm films. Topics include skiing movies from the 1980’s (featuring Glen Ellen in Vermont) and nature films from the 1970’s. Another large addition to our collection is stag movies (erotic and explicit in nature) from the 1950’s and 1960’s. These stag movies are available only on request.”
