The Question You’ve Been Asking!
There have been so many of you who’ve been e-mailing us, asking about Lisa Loeb’s glasses! Well, I’ve finally gotten down to the heart of the matter and did some research:
Lisa’s current glasses are an Italian brand called “Nouveau Vague", which she bought at a stylists’ showroom (see below). The glasses that Lisa is wearing on the cover of Cake and Pie are vintage frames that she found at a flea market in New York City. Normally she finds cat eyed glasses and other frames at stores around the U.S. She has green octagonal glasses, Square wire glasses with red lenses, and black heavy frames from a vintage store in Austin. She used to wear tortoise shell glasses made by Moda. This model is now discontinued. Just recently she bought three pairs of glasses at Oliver Peoples in Los Angeles. Your best bet is just to look around. Maybe you’ll run into Lisa at a store in your town.
From Lisa:
“The glasses I’m wearing now are some that I bought at a showroom where stylists go to find glasses for their clients appearing in movies. They had such an incredible variety to choose from. Usually I go to glasses stores wherever I’m traveling, just like everyone else. I used to bring a polaroid camera to take pictures of myself in the frames- I can’t see my face when the frames have no perscription, but now I just use a camera phone. Then, unless I really fall in love with a pair of glasses on the spot, I take a look at the photos later in the day, and show friends, and decide whether or not to get the frames. It’s a real investment, so I like making a good decision.”

I also just found out that Lisa’s playing a show here in CT at the Mohegan Sun Casino, so you can bet I’ll be contacting her people for an interview or something! What a dream come true for us here at Girls With Glasses.com!

We lost money and never received the layout as promised by our previous artist, so I’ve found a new (as well as more reliable) artist named Aaron Farmer (who just happens to be an old friend as well). I’ve seen a few samples of our new mascot and you’re going to love her!
Aside from that we’ve been terribly busy with things, so thanks for hanging in there with us! If you’d like to write, feel free to contact us: girlswithglasses @ gmail . com
