Bye-bye TFCK Pinstripe Kilt Suit

Well...the dreams of getting that suit came crashing down this morning when I dropped my glasses and watched the frames shatter in front of me.

Guess who has to go to the eye doctor now to get new glasses...thank God I still wear contacts....just kills my chances of getting the kilt suit though.....

Just think how much better you will be able to admire your new kilt suit through a new pair of glasses!

BUY THE KILT!! You can get a stick to use as a cane for free in the park.

Ouch. The frames shattered? That must have been some fall.

Tough Luck.

What kind of frames do you wear that they shattered?

Just get a pair of cheap frames for now, the kilt suit has priority! Or, better yet, pick up a piece of quartz and grind yourself a couple of lenses Of course, I'm a compulsive do-it-yourselfer, so I may not be the best to take advice from
