One Should Be Properly Dressed For Any Occasion

I still haven't managed to drag out my Dremmel and convert an old pair of aviators into the lens for my last pair. I really should finish one up, before I get to work on the next...

Yet, D finally got around to reading Runaways and of course we've been chatting about his love for Molly and mine for Chase. Then obviously, I got on another kick for some goggles. Likewise, it then occurred to me that I wouldn't want to travel time without Shawn and he would need a pair...

OH WAIT A MOMENT.

Did I mention D? How can I not mention that his INCOMPRESSIBLY PERFECT and not to mention pretty damn cool customs were featured, along side other customisers, on Wired magazine's website!

You can go here and here to see the best of the bunch. (Maybe I'm biased on who I think is the best... though I am little miffed that D hasn't made a collection of Super Buddies yet, that miffing is keeping my judgement straight!)



Back to goggles... I made this pair pretty much following those wonderful instructions I had previously mentioned. With one rather heavy change.



I couldn't convince myself to pay $7 for a "escutcheon." I wandered through the pvc pipe, coupling, and elbow area (more on that below) in Home Depot with no luck. Eventually, I found myself in the electrical area.



I honestly have no idea what these are for... but I did spray paint them and do now wear them on my head. How's that for blind faith in time travel fashion? They are a wee bit heavy, and yet it's all made up in the detachable clamps. Aren't those the cat's meow?



The other change is that I used an old purse strap for the back. I'm not too keen on that chain getting caught up in my hair and ripping it out. Everything was strung together with some jewelry clamps and spray painted, leftover chain from that other pair of goggles.



Speaking of time travel fashion... I realized that one cannot transverse time (or my apartment for that matter) without some weapons. With the aid of the pvc aisle at Home Depot, a hot glue gun, and more of that trusty spray paint I whipped up a girl's best friend.



Isn't she lovely? She's pretty big though. At least 16" long and not very handy on a covert mission. That's where the mini arsenal comes in:



No they are not squirt guns spray painted gold!

Yea, well maybe they are. But they look cool don't they?
