And Now, The Optique Remake-Your-Face Contest!
Over the last few years, we’ve given away a LOT of stuff on Philebrity. We’ve given away personal training, loads of concert tickets, a year on the guest list at The Khyber, and God only knows what else. And today, we have another great one: An eyeglasses makeover. Here’s the deal: You have friends. Some of them probably wear glasses. And among those, there are always those friends who are in dire need of a new optical style. Perhaps they are rocking Sally Jesse Raphael red-plastic google-plexers. Or maybe they are sporting the Morrissey National Health specs long, long after the irony is chic. Or maybe they even have those weird, giant Stu Bykofsky jawns that only Run-DMC and Erland ?òye can truly get away with. Hell, maybe it’s a person you don’t even know, like the aforementioned Byko, or the late Thacher Longstreth, God rest his soul. Point is, there’s a lot of people out there whose faces need to be re-arranged, and together with Philebrity, Optique, the city’s premier eyewear retailer, we are ready to help you out. So nominate someone. Nominate yourself. But here’s the rub: We need photographic proof of their/your own horrendous eyewear; think of it as What Not To Wear On Your Face. To enter, send a photo and name to ihopeiwin[at]philebrity[dot]com with “WHAT NOT TO WEAR ON YOUR FACE” in the subject header. This time next week, we’ll select finalists and let Philebrity readers decide on who needs the makeover the most. And one grand prize winner will recieve an eyewear makeover valued at up to $1000. And if you have ever seen $1000-dollar glasses, you will know that they are no joke. So make haste. And good luck!
