The Alternate Lexicon
but girl, you've really gone and turned it into an art
An update on the glasses situation:
I have exchanged convivial emails with Scott Urban, of the awesomesauce Urban Spectacles. His prices start at $650, lenses are included at cost, and all the fiddly stuff like inlays are (reasonably) more. Who has some money to give me? No?
I’ve also emailed with the Herrlich people, but no word yet on the pricing.
I’ve found a more different pair of faux-wood, though, that I sort of crave. They can be viewed here. Can I wear this shape?

My name is Ali, though sometimes it's Eliot.
I have many tumblrs, which you are welcome to also visit:
The Polite Yeti - My personal tumblr, full of silliness.
Fuck Yeah, Kate Miller-Heidke - the only active Kate fan site, which is baffling.
The Branden Rose - the only active Monster Blood Tattoo fansite, which is less baffling.
I also have a semi-successful etsy shop, which you should visit, below.
Please buy things from me:

I like the faux wood, but would like them smoother, without the angles at the tops and bottoms near the outside edges of the lens.
Yeah, I think I’d like them better like that, too, but they’re the closest I’ve found to what I want–and the shape is quite similar (a bit less rounded) to my old glasses, so I figure they’ll look alright.
