Some Chinese dudes decided they couldn’t wait a year for Michael Bay to drop his next 3D Transformabomb, so they went trowling around the local junkyards until they came up with the 10,108 car parts needed to erect this 33-foot Optimus Prime. We heard that 10 minutes after this picture was taken, OP tried to do a mating dance for the Olympic Stadium, but she didn’t bite. Better luck next time!
Lady Gaga’s wider-than-life eyes were most likely generated by a computer, but teenagers and young women nationwide have been copying them with special contact lenses imported from Asia. Known as circle lenses, these are colored contacts — sometimes in weird shades like violet and pink — that make the eyes appear larger because they cover not just the iris, as normal lenses do, but also part of the whites.
Weird, yes. But dangerous too. Apparently the circle lenses that are all the rage are not being sold legally in the United States, where selling any type of contact lens without a prescription is illegal. But for $30 a pop, you can find the lenses all over the web.
“In the past year, there’s been a sharp increase in interest here in the U.S.,” Joyce Kim, founder of Soompi.com, an Asian pop fan site, told the NYT. “Once early adopters have adequately posted about it [on forums], discussed it and reviewed them, it’s now available to everyone.” Available to everyone, and in every shape, size, and color. Unlike the legal lenses which have doctor prescribed strengths and sizes, the circle lenses sold online ask you to choose the details of your lenses.
Since I love Evangelion and I like cool cars (who doesn’t?), merging both is just a great idea! And the Super GT Toyota Corolla Axio they used for this EVA modification looks perfect.
