Framed Card Shark: Stuey the Kid Ungar

stu-ungar

Again we see the blue tint on New York born Stuart Errol “Stu” Ungar. Considered to be the greatest pure talent poker players to have ever played the game . He won the two most prestigious tournaments the World Series of Poker & Amarillo Slim’s World Series of Poker three times each. I discovered “Stuey” through this great t-shirt design by No Mas.

Mystical Mirrors

dl_wiseboy

Why shouldn’t the “windows of your soul” be closed to others when you want them closed? Be relaxed and easy in crowds-lose that self-consciousness. Introducing a very weird ad from an occult catalog (1960s) by a company called De Laurence. They specialized in devotional materials for the mystic & research equipment for the psychic. They were also selling mirrored lens sunglasses called the “Wise Boy”. Watch for Silver Lining’s “Wise Boy” this spring 2010.

Triple Lens Persol Ratti in New Jay-Z Video

We always love working with Jay-Z, and he really upped his game with something a little more obscure than what he’s been seen in recently.  For his “On to the Next One” video he is wearing a Persol Ratti 802 from our collection.  This is a rarity we’re lucky to have a few of.

Mister Mort’s Sensibilities

mistermort

I love the gentleman pictured above from Mister Mort.  The glasses on his face are such a great strong shape with a horizontal fade where the bridge is clear and the temples are black.  Don’t see many things on the market like this today.  And his lavender tint–that’s a custom color (matches the ribbon on his hat).  And notice the readers around his neck for a little added functional bling.

Mordechai Rubinstein is a legend in the making.  His blog, Mister Mort, chronicling his fashionable findings while meandering around the Upper East Side, or Park City (as he is now for Sundance) is all original photography and showcases a perspective definitely his own.

We’re happy to count Mordechai amongst our good friends at Silver Lining.
