Al-Farouq Aminu GEEKS GOT GAME!

GEEKS GOT GAME!

September 4, 2010 (Los Angeles, CA)
GEEKS GOT GAME!

Al-Farouq Aminu, one of the top players of the 2010 NBA draft, created a sensation at the NBA Draft on ESPN by wearing a fashionably outrageous pair of eyeglasses. Turns out the glasses were designed and manufactured by Los Angeles based GEEK Eyewear, a brand known for combining daring wit and sexiness to create instant attraction….eyewear that is memorable for the bold and beautiful.

“Geek Eyewear is not just for computer nerds and Sci Fi addicts” explains Alena Lehrer, who created GEEK EYEWEAR. “The line was developed to express an attitude.” Today’s geek is a complete individual, which is what I believe originally drew Farouq to GEEK EYEWEAR. Farouq is not the typical ball player: Aminu was a member of the 2008 McDonald’s All American Team and distinguished himself as one of the country’s best forwards. Off the court, Farouq has a great sense of humor and comes across as comfortable with who he is. Farouq’s charisma is a big part of his appearance, which explains his stand-out choice in GEEK EYEWEAR.

The phones started ringing immediately, Alena Lehrer reports. The picture of Farouq at 2010 NBA Draft on ESPN was followed up with a picture that went viral on the Internet of a smiling Farouq with his big arms outstretched holding a basketball, wearing a different pair of GEEK EYEWEAR. “By this point, we looked at ourselves,” Alena says, “we gotta find this guy.” But it was even easier than that, Farouq’s management company, IAM Sports & Entertainment was a step ahead. In less than a week, a deal was set and Al-Farouq Aminu became the official spokesperson of GEEK EYEWEAR.

“Creativity. Originality. Excellence. These are qualities I strive for both on and off the court, Farouq Aminu stated. In Geek Eyewear, I see the same attributes in their glasses designs, as well in the nature of the company as a whole. I couldn’t be more excited to be working with the entire Geek team.”

How have the early geeks who collect comic books and attend 48 hour Star-Trek marathons taken to a 6-foot-9 geek who will be a starter in the NBA? To be a geek is simply to your own person, to have your own style. While the terms of the agreement remains private, the creators of Geek Eyewear could not be happier. “We created this look years ago, it’s often emulated, but just like Farouq, we’re totally original. Farouq plays with tremendous poise and confidence, which perfectly embodies the essence of the GEEK EYEWEAR brand. Some people wear glasses as if they are ashamed, they just want to blend in. GEEK EYEWEAR makes a statement that I’m cool, I’m strong, sexy and hip.

The psychology of wearing "copy" eyewear
http://www.scientif icamerican. com/article. cfm?id=faking- it

In a recent study, scientists recruited a large sample of young women and had
them wear pricey Chloé sunglasses. The glasses were the real thing, but half
the women thought they were wearing knockoffs. The researchers wanted to see if
wearing counterfeit shades—a form of dishonesty—might make the women act
dishonestly in other ways.

They asked the women to perform a couple of tasks that presented opportunities
for lying and cheating. In one, the women worked on a complicated set of
mathematical puzzles—a task they could not possibly complete in the time
allowed. When their allotted time was up, the women were told to score
themselves on the honor system—and to take money for each correct score.
Unbeknownst to them, the scientists were monitoring both their work and their
scoring.

And guess what? The women who thought they were wearing the fake Chloé shades
cheated more—considerably more. Fully 70 percent inflated their performance
when they thought nobody was checking on them—and, in effect, stole cash from
the coffer. By comparison, “only” 30 percent of the group who knew they wore
authentic Chloés cheated.

Optical Lenses

2009-09-24T09:59:00.000-07:00

All GEEK EYEWEAR frames are supplied with “Plano” (i.e., zero prescription power) CR-39 optical lenses.

1. Most glasses (without prescriptions) purchased on-line are supplied with acrylic demonstration (“demo”) lenses

2. Demo lenses are designed to be thrown away when an optician cuts and installs a prescription pair of lenses

3. Even though they have no power and are clear, demo lenses are not designed to be worn or used. They have a lot of distortion and aberration and will strain your eyes.

So GeekEyewear.com supplies all the frames with CR-39 "ophthalmic quality,” lenses (the same lenses you get from the eye doctor. If you wear your Geek glasses for fun, with no lens vision correction, our CR-39 lenses won’t hurt your eyes!

CR-39 refers to the material that is used. It is an optical grade plastic polymer recognized for its light weight, chemical resistance properties . CR-39 lenses are the most common type of lenses used in the eye care industry world wide. CR-39’s impact resistance is greater than glass but CR-39 should not be considered for applications where impacts are prevalent such as playing sports and motorcycle riding for example.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ATTITUDE. WEAR GEEK EYEWEAR!

2009-08-17T18:45:00.000-07:00

People who wear thicker glasses are today’s fashion hipsters. In order to salute and recognize people with high IQ’s (and the rest of us who just want to look intelligent) Geek Eyewear was created. Eight frame shapes in chunky plastic pay homage to such legendary frame styles as the Attaché, the Ambassador, and the Dalton. Dorks and nerds are the styliest kids on campus. It’s all about attitude. Shop at www.GeekEyewear.com

Madonna has shown that she’s hip with the youngsters by donning the latest in Buddy Holly glasses that seem to have inexplicably come back into style. She wore the geeky glasses at a performance in NY on her Sticky and Sweet tour. The Independent notes that the way to pull of Geek look is to let the Geek glasses serve as a counterpoint to your natural beauty. Source: www.celebitchy.com

Why is Geek Eyewear Chic?

2009-08-09T19:56:00.000-07:00

Is it a style, a trend, a movement, a cultural shift or just a love affair with all things uncool? First off, what is a geek? If you're getting ready to argue about this definition, you might be one of them. A geek has obsessive, esoteric knowledge about mass media, pop culture and technology. Geeks are generally smart, they're passionate about things most people don't care about, and most of them tend to be early adopters when it comes to the latest gadgets.

Geek message boards talk about the latest casting rumors for "Watchmen," not who's going to win the Super Bowl. Take a look at our television icons, for instance. Ugly Betty, one of TV's most popular shows, features a girl who looks like someone's prom date nightmare. She is a geek poster girl, from her loud, uncoordinated outfits to her shiny, in-your-face braces. The fact that she works at a fashion magazine just underscores her lack of conformity, and when we see her triumph week after week over the beautiful people, even those ex-cheerleaders must feel a little tug of excitement. And the ultimate geek, Harry Potter, is the most popular non-existent kid in history.

Fashion has even slipped into the realm of the pasty-faced gamer. Check out ads for fashionable eyewear: The frames that used to be costume pieces for kids to wear with their pocket protectors and suspenders are now high fashion (and expensive.) Yes, it's true, geek chic is back. This time around, however, when you happen to see someone doing the geek-chic thing at a party, it's likely their social, successful and someone you should be friends with.

Not to be confused with the hipster who relishes fashion items you haven't heard of and ironic slogans, the "chic geek" is polished, presentable and doesn't feel compelled to scour the city for obscure apparel. Whether you're a bona fide geek or you just dig some of the eyewear, we've put together a website to help you wear this look the fashionable way.
