Wag the Dog (1997)

Had a “Charlie Murphy’s Real Hollywood Story” moment yesterday. Started out almost not opening the shop due to the snow storm. After a painful commute, and low expectations for excitement, I ended up spending the afternoon with Dustin Hoffman and his family who were out shopping, and decided to take refuge from the storm at Silver Lining. His very charming daughter Rebecca ended up with the Henri, and I ended up with my first “Silver Lining’s Real Hollywood Story”.

Optician’s Tip: Grab Your Sunglasses it’s Snowing!

sunglasses-boy

When do you think you need your sunglasses more on a sandy beach or in the snow? Well you might be surprised to discover that the answer is in the snow. Fresh snow reflects about 80% of the sun’s UV radiation compared to a dry sandy beach (15%). Unprotected exposure to UV reflection from snow can cause snow blindness. So although sunglasses are a must for the beach think of their necessity when it’s snowing.

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.
