GEO TRICOLOR/ 3 TONE GREY LENS REVIEW

(see below)





Geo Tricolor Grey

COMFORT: 9/10
Well, without a doubt, these lenses, as with my other pair of Geo Tricolor/ 3 Tone Brown, are fairly comfortable. Geo Tricolor lenses are however slightly thicker then normal lenses and even though most times I don't feel them at all, SOMETIMES on the 8th hour or so, I do feel the lenses in my eye's No biggie though if you ask me, and most importantly, does not impair or obstruct my vision in any way.

COLOUR/DESIGN : 8/10
Well, to be honest, after receiving my Grey Nudy Lenses, my hopes of venturing into other grey lenses just sank like the Titanic. I'm not saying that grey lenses are not for anyone, but I think that some grey lenses just turn out bluish and they just do not sit well on my face, especially with my skin tone (I'm pretty tanned, so the bluish greys seem to 'wash-out' my skin tone just a bit.) HOWEVER, THESE BABIES ROCK! I love the colour, its intensity, and subtlety, at the same time. There is a pretty distinctive colour change, yet if I were to reside anywhere else other then Singapore (people here have brown-black eyes period) passer-bys probably would not stop and stare (and look away, and stare again when you’re not looking).

What I also like about Geo’s Tricolor series is that they do not have a very distinctive limbal ring design that makes your lenses look like stickers. Instead, the enlargement comes from the design of the lenses itself, not a thick black ‘outline’ of the actual lens design.

Having said that, as you can clearly see from the photos, the pixilation of the design is not to be desired.

Yes GEO, back to the research lab you go! *spank*

But all said and done,

GEO did a pretty good job with the Tricolor Greys.

ENLARGEMENT : 6/10
Well, these are mainly worn for colour-difference and not necessarily for its enlargement factor because there are definately more circle lenses in the market that achieves a much greater enlargement, but for all its worth, they do somewhat enlarge a little, as proven in the photos.

OVERALL: 8/10
Unlike my Geo Tricolor Browns, there wasn't much of a 'culture-shock' for me when I first tried these lenses on since I've previously owned another pair of lenses from the Geo Tricolor series. Definately a pair of grey lenses that one might want to own for a fun night out in the town, a vodkatini in one hand and, well, another vodkatini in the other (sorry, I'm not a smoker, but you can see where I'm going with this =D)
Personally I always believe that it's the subtle changes that make the difference but sometimes, when you take chances, you'll realise that it is not so bad.

Or you might end up with Nudy Greys.

American Idol Hollywood Group Rounds (Episode 10) Recap.

View Comments


Referred to as hell week, American Idol Hollywood week, group rounds thursday night is all but hell to watch. It was definitely an entertaining hour of feel-good triumphs to the downright nasty, with contestants screaming out their Lady GaGa “OOO Ra-Ras” against one another, accusations of ‘plagiarism’ and petty “They STOLE our idea!” remarks flung carelessly towards the recording cameras, made complete with pitchy harmonies and distinctively bad vocals in the background.

Oh, what fun.

The ‘Dreamers’, one of the many tacky group names Idol contestants came up with this episode, including contestant Alex Lambert (what a name sweetheart), and ‘Cliché-rocker’ Mary Powers, went into a bit of a stir when two of their members went missing at the beginning of rehearsals, causing a ‘camera-panic’ ( defined as a state of panic exaggerated by a bad reality TV actor to effectively enhance the mood of a situation at play) The producers, probably dying for a sound bite then, were almost certainly ‘ecstatic’ when ‘Cliché-rocker’ Mary Powers announced,

“These two are not here. They’re fired!”

Contrary to what I’ve been reading on most sites, I don’t think Mary Powers is a bitch. She’s just a crazy control freak.

Oh Mary, what drama, and we are not even gonna talk about your business suit.

Another thing that is tremendously distracting for me this episode, I mean other then ‘Big Mike/over-pimped’ Michael Lynche’s enormous pecs and cold nipples, are his backstories that the producers shoved down our throats (and not in a good way) that I honestly couldn’t care less about. I love babies and all (ok not that much. I lied) but I’ve mentioned this before,

“ I HATE BACKSTORIES especially if they are over-emphasised to support a contestant who otherwise has a pretty average voice.”

‘Over-pimped’ Micheal Lynche’s voice is not just average, its nasal.

I have honestly no idea why they are ‘Pimping’ him so hard this season. I just don’t get his appeal, other then to fellow bears and cubs. (of whom I am friends with, who I love, very much)

‘Big Mike’ mentioned,

“I just can’t wait to get home to meet her(his wife and baby)”

I understand ‘Big Mike’. You and me both.

On a positive note however, I have to give a HUGE shout out to my favourite contestant this episode (at least), Charity Vance, of whom I have been endearingly referring to as ‘Singing sparrow’. Listening to her sing is like listening to a sweet blonde canary on a beautiful summer day. I was so engrossed with her performance that I totally blocked out the effort from the rest of her group members. I’m sure they sang well. Oh Charity, the things you do to me, again.

This episode also brought light to a number of praiseworthy contestants that had previously not been given any form of airtime before. Siobhan Magnus, (Seriously?) who even though was a tad bit wierd, was incredible, along with group member ‘possible-bitch’ Todrick Hall, ‘Purple bangs’ Theri and ‘Acrobat’ Jared Liewer, performing LadyGaGa’s Bad Romance, complete with innovative and engaging choreography . Other contestants worth a shout out include ’Pimped-spot/possible winner’ Andrew Garcia, ‘Packaged-artist’ Katie Stevens, ‘Smooth-as-butter’ Jermaine Purifoy, 'Cry-cry-baby' Didi Benami, ‘Third time the charm’ Angela Martin, “High-note’ Jermaine Sellers, Ashley Rodriguez and ‘Urban Hottie’ Tim Urban.

AMERICAN IDOL 9, HOLLYWOOD WEEK (Episode 9)

View Comments
Last night was the long anticipated night that fans of Idol, Paula Abdul and Ellen Degeneres, although with possibly different intents, all came together to witness the dawn of a new permanent judge on American Idol.

Ellen, although funny in most bits, was somewhat redundant at times with the humour in her remarks, similar to a generally lovable, yet occasionally annoying child in a class of forty constantly raising her hands at each and every opportunity, merely craving for attention. Having said that, I suppose we can only imagine the pressure the contestants are going through, appreciating any kind of ‘positivity’ that they can garner, even if it means criticisms cloaked under the most perplexing of jokes. On the other hand, I did find myself silently ‘giggling’ (yes i tend to do that sometimes) when she teasingly mentioned to Simon, “So this is it? I come on and you leave..”

Ellen’s jokes aside, episode 9 proves to be packed with early favourites from round-one auditions, giving light (maybe even slightly more than a suggestion, although one can never be too sure) in revealing the contestants from season 9 that will probably be getting the ‘pimp-spot’ from the producers .

With that, before I share with you the highlights of the first round of Hollywood week and as a welcome to our favourite new permanent judge on American Idol (and being true to the way Ellen has been starting off her shows)

“KAAAa KAAAAAaaaa.”



Katie Stevens starts off Hollywood week with her rendition of a Stevie classic, "For once in my life"






Andrew Garcia singing 'Straight Up', by Paula Abdul.






Janell Wheeler singing 'American Boy' during the first round of Hollywood Week.

Casey James Singing 'I don't need no doctor'.





Didi Benami Singing 'Terrified' for Hollywood Week Round 1





Crystal Bowersox during the first round of Hollywood week singing 'Natural Woman'

For some particular reason, I couldn’t receive any internet access today. Being a computer illiterate that I am, I tried clicking on foreign buttons, trying my best to keep up with instructions that the ‘help’ service was coldly presenting me with, only to be even more confused. Honest to say the least, I was not even sure whether I asked for the right kind of help in the first place, since I was not even certain of the help that I needed. As I slowly (but surely) tangled myself into a messy ‘web’ of instructions, I desperately wished that my computer was telepathic or functioned on VERY general voice commands meant for those electronically-challenged. Maybe something like,


“Get me on the internet.”



"I just don't get it."
