FRAME FEVER!

Uber pop music sensation Justin Bieber makes a clean teen getaway in l.a.Eyeworks’ Bent sunglasses!

 

 
[stills from VMA promo at MTV.com – see the video here]

 

These stills of the fever-inducing tween heartthrob are from a new MTV video promo for its annual Video Music Awards ("VMAs", of course, if you’re in the know) that will air live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on September 12.  Each VMA promo spot features a musical celebrity in a decade-specific narrative. We’re getting a 60s vibe here, but one thing is clear: the Bieber blow out is timeless!

 

Known for their spontaneous acts of celebrity implosion, the VMAs on MTV are not be missed. Take two aspirin for your Bieber Fever and tune in.

 

GROUPIES GRAB YOUR GLASSES!

Tune your ears and your eyes to the zenith from New Zealand, Midnight Youth, in their latest video "All On Our Own."

Although the group has been burning up the New Zealand charts and grabbing multiple New Zealand Music Awards since 2008, we formed our fan club when lead singer Jeremy Redmore started rocking some amazing frames from l.a.Eyeworks, including his Braga 2 in Wet Black seen in the video. And Jeremy's no one-frame front man either: he also wears a Bent in Blue Abbey. Vocal range and focal range -- we like!

Midnight Youth has just returned to New Zealand from Los Angeles, where the band performed at the legendary Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip as part of Musexpo 2010.

Solid bet: they'll be back real soon.

Midnight Youth are: guitarist Simon Oscroft, guitarist/keyboardist Nick Campbell, bassist Matt Warman, drummer Aidan Bartlett and vocalist Jeremy Redmore.

LATE NIGHT STYLE

Actor Jeff Goldblum put the "show" in talk show on Monday night, wearing an l.a.Eyeworks' Bent in classic black on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.  If you love Goldblum on the silver screen, make sure to catch him as Detective Zach Nichols in the superb ensemble crime drama Law & Order: Criminal Intent.  And if you're on the prowl to discover some hip sophistication, clue into King Cab...or Sidecar...or Kicks...or Helix...

Well Composed!

 

Former l.a.Eyeworker David Rhodes hit the perfect grace note wearing a Bent in Creamora Latte during a recent performance of his composition Music for String Quartet and Piano with the Capricollis String Quartet. This fall, Rhodes will enter the prestigious Performer-Composers program at California Institute of the Arts. Check out all of David's compositions and video performances (including the mesmerizing 2 Cellos and 24 Televisions) at www.davidrhodesmusic.com.

Tournament of the Tiara!

"Ladies, start your engines!" exclaims legendary drag performer RuPaul as his reality show extravaganza RuPaul's Drag Race shantays and sashays into high-heeled gear on the Logo and VH1 networks.  Wearing l.a.Eyeworks' Bent frame, RuPaul coaches and schools the participants of the show as they vie for the chance to become America's Next Drag Superstar.

In addition to outfitting the hippest host, l.a.Eyeworks is giving the champion diva the coveted prize of a place in our legendary portrait campaign, shot by the renowned Greg Gorman.  Whoever she is, she "better work" hard to top RuPaul's sensational appearance:

They Bent Thataway

What a beautiful 'escape' it was!  Obie award-winning composer Robert Een made a splash at the REDCAT theater at Disney Concert Hall with his opera, The Escape Artist.  l.a.Eyeworks made a special appearance at the performance by framing each musician with Bent in creamora latte, giving a stylish contrast to the moody staging.  We last checked in with Een just a couple of weeks before the show.  For more information on Robert Een and his extraordinary compositions, make sure to check out his website.

Eyes on the Monarchy

As previously posted, l.a.Eyeworks partnered with Monarchy Clothing for a glamorous presentation at this year's LA Fashion Week.  Aside from the video, you can now check out the "l.a.Eyeworks in Fashion" photo album for a gander at just how stunning, and modern the frames looked on the runway!  The image above features Bent in creamora latte...delicious!

Nerd Alert in NY

 
When we say "We See Through You", we're not kidding.  Everyone has a little nerd inside them that just screams to be transformed into geek-chic!  Earlier this week, NY got a quintuple dose of Nerdvana with l.a.Eyeworks' classic window display.  Done up to custom-fit each storefront,  the Bent frame is featured in a larger-then-life scale in bold colors that you just can't miss!  Check out the windows at Pildes (top image), Selima, Devonshire, James Leonard (bottom image), and A.R.Trapp.  Now, you can truly be at peace with your new l.a.Eyeworks frames.
