Own the disadvantage



As some of you may have read in some other thread at some time... I lost my right eye a few years ago.

The prosthetic eye i have is, mmmyeh, _ok_ but its perfectly obvious that it's false.

I saw the above image on bmezine a few weeks ago and it has really burned itself into my thinking.

I want something similar - maybe the same polished finish but with a smoothly sculpted iris and pupil.

Its not for work and sunday lunch with granny (though knowing my granny she'd barely be put off her stride), but for some general wear... It's making a statement about being monoccular.

I am. Its me and, for my personal life at least, i see no reason why i should try to make others feel more comfortable about it.

What do you chaps reckon?

Bit much or, as i feel, a righteous re-taking of _my_ body?
