If you stick a barbell through the bridge of your nose and screw prescription lenses to it you should probably expect some criticism, or at the very least, you know you’re going to get some strange looks.

From a news article about the pierced glasses (http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/3052503 now 404′d):

To make pierced glasses, James Sooy first got a bridge piercing and allowed it to heal completely. Then he got prescription lenses - also about $75 - and enlisted help to attach them to the piercing with special screws. The total cost was about $160.
