Have you ever seen Julian Burnside QC in the flesh? He makes quite an impression. We'd like to say this is because of his passionate belief in social justice, but really, we're more impressed with his fab choice of eyewear. Bespectacled? Bespectacular! While the ocular mainstream can blow their spare cash on beer goggles, us weak eyes have to spend it on goggles so we can even see our beer. But finding a pair of frames like Julian's vis a vis your normal retail outlets ain't cheap, with shops robbing us even blind (er) than we already are with their prices. You can try to look good, spent hundreds, and still end up looking like this guy.
If you understand the importance of accessorising, but want to do so on a budget, the much better option is Optical 4 Less. Send in your prescription and they send you glasses for less than 30 bucks (at that price, you can save you anxillary health cover for when you really need it). Some satisfied customers have written testimonials and provided pictures to show off the results. Fancy some aviators? Get them tinted and you too can look like a sexual deviant! Or try the Rhinestone section! They really have all manner of styles. And yes, they even have Julian's.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
