Looking to 2009

Back in 1999 I first saw the festive New Year's eyewear when in NYC and a street peddler tried his best to pursuade me to buy a pair. Little did I know that they would be the most popular thing at the New Year's Eve party to welcome in the Y2K..

Here are the gracious hosts of the annual New Year's Eve party sporting their Y2K eyewear.

The next year Y2K-1 glasses were not as easy to purchase so we had to improvise.

Over the years I think the old 2000 glasses have been lost or misplaced, so to keep the tradition and in honor of 2009 I have attached a template for any of you to open, printout, cut out, decorate and wear to ring in the new year! Too bad they don't help you see into the future.

Here are Claude and Teddy wearing their 2008 glasses -they made them from last year's template.
