A friend told me she needed to buy new swimming goggles. What a coincidence! That very week I came across some crude blue-black carpet nail/tacks that my house-mate was working with. They looked beautiful in their own way and I thought of a way to use them; but it required goggles. And now some goggles turned up. I super-glued the tacks to the outside of the goggles, pointing outwards. They looked like long eyelases. I covered the goggle rims in glitter, deadly playfulness. Irony. To further the irony I placed small loveheart stickers, the size of pupils, strategically on each lense. They were placed so that a person at conversation's length from me would see my pupils blotted by the love-hearts. I too could look directly at them and not see their eyes.
