80s Spectacools


Him, on the left! Goddamn man I am really jonesing for some of the shades he's rocking in this picture at the minute. Spotted 'em after stumbling upon the SWEAT.X myspace page [ocular delectation to the power of 100 by the way] and it brought back loads of memories from my childhood. Only problem is that I cannot find a pair of them anywhere online. Managed to find out that they're sometimes known as "Devo Glasses" but I still can't find 'em for sale anywhere in the UK. Been on the hunt for the past 24 hours on and off with no luck so far. I will not rest until I am clasping a pair in my quivering feverish hands.

I tend to get these little compulsions every so often where I see something obscure that I want and end up doing my head in trying to find it. Usually I can find what I want but in this particular instance it is proving to be far more difficult. In fact that's an understatement, it's actually becoming a major headfuck.

If anyone should happen to know where one might obtain a pair of these ocular beauties please please let me know. My short term sanity depends on it.

AAARGH! I found this blog trying to find those very sunglasses! Yet another dead end...

Unless you've had any joy and would acre to share? They must be out there!

I gave it up as a bad job. A friend of mine did find a yank site that did them but I didn't bother in the end as I wouldn't have got them in time. They are out there, somewhere. Good luck!
