Clip On glasses? Sure! These? No way!

[PrettySquareGal]

James Sooy and Oliver Gibson have come up with Pierced Glasses - the most minimalist eyewear since the Pince-nez glasses that clip onto your nose was invented in the 1840's.

Here's the step-by-step:

* Get pierced - an internally-threaded barbell that goes through the skin above the bridge of your nose
* Use a tabletop mill to cut the L-shaped metal pieces that screw onto the barbell
* Attach rare earth magnets to the glasses; these hold the glasses on.
* Don't get rid of the bridge pieces; they let the lenses sit on your nose and take the actual weight of the lenses...

Uh, no thanks. I'll just wear what I have.
Do people really want to be made like a snap on tool? [huh]

Ouch! Those pictures make me cringe, sort of a trippy looking pair of glasses but talk about pain for fashion.

I just saw those. . . makes my nose hurt just thinking about it.

There was a guy in my old neighborhood that had his head pierced (implanted?) with little screw wells and he could screw different sized spikes in at will.

Oh geez! Even worse. He doesn't need the German Helmet anymore.

What neighborhood? I've seen a similar look by the Alley, it may have been him. But there's no place quite like London for that ilk..

Yep - Boystown, Chicago.
