BrainStream: I'm getting totally obsessed with

[bkdelong]

I'm getting totally obsessed with this "Hagrid" (Harry Potter) costume I've been working on. Hagrid is described as having beetle-black eyes. Therefore I spent a good bit of time scouring the Web for theater or costume contacts that would render my eyes "beetle-black" instead of the hazel-green that they are. The most prominent on the Web seems to be "Wild Eyes". Unfortunately they only seem to have specialty contacts with specific costumes in mind. They have a "red hot" option that is all red but that seemed to be it.

I stopped into the optometrist at the mall while running some errands and noticed they sold Wild Eyes. I explained my quandary and asked if they knew of anyone who might sell plain, black contacts. She mentioned that a company called Cooper Vision had a line coming out but they haven't received anything yet.

I took to the Web and found the Cooper Vision Web site down...but found their new "Crazy Lenses" line at ACLens.com. Hmmm. Still no luck.

However....on the same site, I found a line called "GameFace" which does have different single-color lenses. Excellent!

Well, sort of. Then I realize that I still need to get an eye exam in order to have the contact lenses fitted. Blech.

Maybe next year.
