Fatheadz
Foley Frames

It’s funny how perceptions change, and that at one time, large, thick rimmed frames were considered nerdy, or for that matter, “nerdy” was considered a bad thing. I wonder if that change in my perception came with age or whether it’s just the age we live in. I was once resistant to wearing glasses because of the stigma attached, thinking I would be mocked. Now, maybe because of four-eyed heroes like Buddy Holly or the Descendents’ Milo Aukerman (or maybe now that I’ve been prescribed corrective wear of my own), what was once a swagger death sentence is now, more than ever, an accessory to cool. Due to my large cranium, I have a broader brow than most, making it impossible to find frames that fit. The good folks at Fatheadz—no, not the people who make giant stickers for your wall—have finally solved my conundrum and produced frames that fit even my bulbous noggin, and allow me to not feel like a freak. In fact, when I put on my thick, plastic-framed Fatheadz with the stylish pinstripe down the side and vintage looking backwards “F” that is the Fatheadz logo I feel pretty cool… almost Buddy Holly cool.  –James Orme
