Spirit Halloween Express - Costume Contact LensesHalloween contacts can add a lot of impact to your Halloween costume. People who wear corrective contact lenses often experiment with costume lenses as well. But if you don't wear contacts on an everyday basis, would Halloween costume lenses be safe and comfortable for you?What are Halloween contacts lenses? Halloween lenses, also called costume or theatrical lenses, are soft contact lenses with a layer of color embedded in them. Top quality costume lenses are produced by the companies that also manufacture ordinary (corrective) contact lenses. To ensure that painted special effect lenses are safe, manufacturers use special paints that don't irritate the delicate surface of your eye. There are hundreds of different designs: cat's eyes, snake eyes, spirals, white-out and black-out lenses, banshee, vampire red, and many more besides.Quality special effect contacts are comfortable for most people. In fact, if the lens is properly fitted, you shouldn't feel it at all. Soft contact lenses don't have any adjustment period and generally feel comfortable in your eyes straight away. However, if you...more

Situated in what can only be described as no man's land between King's Street Wharf and George Street lives a venue that will take you back in time. That venue is The Retro and has been the destination of choice for 70's and 80's music enthusiasts since forever (well at least the 70's or 80's). The Bristol Arms Hotel (or simply the Retro) is frequented by Sydney's 30+ crowd looking for a great night out.With about 5 floors to choose from (this is an approximation and I'll explain why in a second), the Retro has something for everyone, whether it be the live music venue with authentic sticky carpet, the rooftop terrace, the pool tables or the regular fancy dress nights, the Retro has something for everyone.As with many refitted pubs, the Retro requires you to leave your pretentiousness at the door... you've been warned. As you would expect from a venue with 7 bars, the Retro is a place you go to if you want to have "a drink."Although the Retro runs regular events and specials throughout the week, mainly for the overworked office staff that surround the Retro, the place comes to life Friday and Saturday. With rooms...more
