In 1994, Lisa Loeb wanted us to "Stay," but all I could do was be jealous of her bold and oh-so-hip decision to don her now signature cat-eye glasses. I had just started wearing glasses myself at the time and Lisa was doing the work that was long overdue: Empowering the bespectacled youth of America to forgo the nerd stereotypes and embrace their inner coffee shop songwriter.
Now, 15 years, a few reality shows and a number of albums later, Lisa is finally releasing her own eyewear line. According to Entertainment Weekly, Lisa (who is as much known for wearing glasses as she is for writing catchy tunes) is teaming with Classique Eyewear to create frames similar to the ones she wore in that "Stay" music video.
The glasses will be available in black and tortoise-shell and will have rhinestones and etchings. To make matters more interesting, the frames will be named after Lisa's now classic female-friendly pop rock song titles. The big question remains: When will Rivers Cuomo launch the male line to act as a counterpart to Lisa's? Rivers, it's never too late to get in the design game. Plus, we have always wondered what we would look like wearing the "Buddy Holly" specs.
