two things i recommend looking for if on ebay.
search for:
"John Lennon sunglasses" or "steampunk sunglasses"

i think you'll get good results

John Lennon sunglasses is actually the worst term to type in. You get mostly those round 3 dollar Halloween type lenses which are actually pretty huge. I learned that lesson the hard way.

And yeah, I'm done looking. Above is what I've found. Steampunk sunglasses is really the way to go (and what I found by typing into Google).

I actually realized something else, since I wrote the comment back to you and jumped in the shower: I actually have, in the past, typed in "steampunk glasses" into ebay in the past. I think I hit a good streak of luck this time because more often than not, previous searches have either turned up the very nice (but can get pretty expensive) modern UK ones, like that blue pair, or similar/vintage glasses that cost upwards of $40 or more. Which is not really the amount of money I want to be spending. My luck this time may or may not have also been attributed to my finding a journal that was linking vintage glasses that aren't necessarily labeled as "steampunk."

The blue ones, which are "steampunk" style, were still $35 but kinda have crazy angry eyebrows going for them. If I fail with my old-timey ones, they're attractive enough to make me consider them.

And I also, despite having actually searched this one before (LAWL), found two websites doing Matrix-style knock-offs which I had never seen before. Mass production is something I can ( ... )

FINAL MOLESTATION: Lan pointed out that she couldn't see the alt tags. I have no idea if you haven't been able to but I made a little edit about it at the bottom. D:

I have no idea what that means except I'm pretty sure she's Puerto Rican so my mother instantly approved.
LOLOLOLOL!

Word, sunglasses phail epically on me too, usually, so I totally feel your pain.

I must admit that I really like that blue pair that sort of has the angry eyebrow thing going on. 3rd one from the top. Yeah, those are pimp.

the_perkygoff February 22 2009, 16:55:16 UTC

Yeah, the only blue pair. LOL. I think I'll go with them/their black equivalent if I don't win the green ones.

TO MOLEST YOU AGAIN: Lan pointed out that she couldn't see the alt tags. I have no idea if you haven't been able to but I made a little edit about it at the bottom.
