Adorable Objecting Eyewear

The Optical Awesome 'Look of Disapproval' Glasses Coolly Condemn

— December 28, 2011 — Pop Culture
The Optical Awesome 'Look of Disapproval' glasses may look like they're fit for permanent pessimists, but the intention is more so to grant your forehead muscles a break from trying to twist your brows to aid spurning stares.

The quirky frames are based on the character sequence emoticon used to show off disbelief via electronic mediums and have such straight-edge lines it appears you actually have typeface balancing on the bridge of your nose. The silently-critical accessories come in a regular size and a larger version for colossal-headed condescending.

The quirky Optical Awesome 'Look of Disapproval' glasses are sold on Etsy.com for those that wish to achieve that effortless expression just by tossing on some scorning specs.
