Glasses

I’ve been going kind of nuts recently buying glasses online, because they’re so cheap.

Here are a couple of pairs that I got from Vooglam


These are progressives. They are currently the
ones that  wear the most


This is a pair of mono focal intermediate range glasses that I use on my computer




This pair has a monofocal reading prescription



This pair is monofocal distance
I got it because casting directors kept wanting an Iris Apfel look


This pair is monofocal distance 
I use it for hiking or other outdoor activities
It's also useful for driving because it fits under my sunglasses, 
which the other pairs don't.


This pair is safety glasses.  I decided to get it as bifocals, which I had never tried.  Since they wrap around, I thought progressives wouldn't work.  I really like the improved peripheral vision that I get with the wrap arounds.   Unfortunately the transition area between the near prescription and the distance prescription is not well done.  There's a large blurry area at the point of transition, which is dangerous.

Mystic Tycoon

 My sister-in-law found this clip of me acting.  It's a trailer for an audio podcast series called "Mystic Tycoon"  It was originally called "Secret Trillionaire."


Director: Amy Omar

Producer: Adam Kinyon

Production Company: Best Dressed Films https://www.bestdressedfilms.com/

I am embedding this video from FB.  I am trying to get permission to post it on my YouTube channel.   I can provide excerpts to you privately, if necessary.  

I haven't embedded from FB before.  I think this works.  I hope it continues to work.  The clip shows me acting as the evil Lisa in this series.

Looking at this ad, it appears that the video clip that we filmed was a teaser for an audio series on Pocket FM.  I personally haven't recorded any audio for that series, so I don't know much about it, other than what is filmed here.
