This week we present one of our fave tributes to a very special Fremont Landmark:
THE TROLL IN BLACKISH
We wanted this model to be the quintessential masculine frame, the ideal boxy square-rim in a color more reminiscent of “typical Seattle day” than the classic black you would expect. It’s the everyday, any-way-you-want-to-wear-it frame style that looks great on dudes or gals, in a clear set or as sunglasses (maybe you recall Ross, wearing “The Troll” in a tinted sunglass a few weeks back). Very much like the Fremont Troll’s presence in Fremont, this popular frame model has some real staying power.

The Fremont Troll is our neighborhood’s pride & joy– it is one of the most visited attractions of Seattle. It was erected in 1990 by a group of 4 Seattle artists who submitted the concept to a contest held by the Fremont Arts Council in order to help re-vamp the area around the Aurora Bridge, which is built upon part the lower Fremont area.

LUSTY LADY in REDDISH

A number of memorable institutions have come and gone that contribute to Seattle’s character. One of those places was the ever-provocative, THE LUSTY LADY. The 30-year old peepshow theater in Downtown Seattle was an women-run cooperative that was best known for its outrageously “punny” marquee display. It closed its doors in June 2010; passing through downtown’s 1st Ave without the iconic marquee’s cheeky quips hasn’t been nearly as amusing since.

Silvie & Paul live up to the saying, “like attracts like” in their newest pairs of glasses… they each chose an semi-rim style that maintains an open, “airy” feel without sacrificing fashion-forward appeal.
We LIKE it. 🙂

We’re not quite sure whether Grace is just a natural in the art of wearing glasses or if she really is the epitome of ultra-cute stylishness. Whatever the case, we all hope we look this good in our glasses! Its possible that confidence is key 😉
