If I won the lottery, I would open an upscale, high class nightclub and bar. I would call it Jenn-eration speX. It would be open to both men and women, but only women who wore glasses would be permitted entrance.

If the woman did not wear glasses, she would be escorted first into a special fitting room where a fashion consultant would supply her with glasses with flattering frames and a low power prescription. She would be required to wear these glasses at all times while inside the building.

A woman who wore glasses with high index lenses would be permitted into the club, but only if she could show that her regular glasses were being repaired, she could substantiate that she had a pair of regular glasses and the ones she had on were her backup glasses, or could furnish an excuse from her eye doctor.

The club would be decorated with photographs of bespectacled movie stars such as Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe, supermodels like Elle MacPherson, and other glamorous women. I would also provide similar pictures of male hunks for the benefit of the ladies.

Wednesday night would be Nearsighted Night, and women would be served free drinks from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. On TGIF (Thank Goodness I'm Farsighted) Fridays, 2-for-1 drink specials would be offered all night long for the ladies.

People seeking employment would be required to submit to an eye examination; all applicants with perfect vision would be rejected. Cocktail waitresses and other female employees would all be required to have prescriptions of at least plus or minus 4; the club would have a policy of not permitting employees to wear contact lenses.

Memberships to be club would be available, with men being issued Eye-Boy passes, and women Eye-Girl passes. The price would be discounted for charter members of the Eye Scene chat group, of course! (I am still trying to develop a club logo using the black silhouette of a rabbit's head and tying it in with spectacles, but haven't come up with anything yet.)

For people who enjoy games, there would be dartboards with pictures of Dorothy Parker as the target.

Everyone who ordered a Coca-Cola would be served the drink in authentic Coke bottles.

There would be a cigar lounge, for those men who enjoy a cigar and like to say "A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke" (Rudyard Kipling) and women who enjoy a cigar and like to say "A man is only a man, but a good cigar is a smoke" (Madonna).

Tightening of frames and cleaning of glasses would be complimentary by the staff. Monogramming and tinting of lenses would be offered at reasonable prices. An optometrist would be on call 24 hours a day. Glasses broken on the premises would be repaired in less than an hour. (Take that, Lenscrafters!)

Women would be able to donate their fashionable old prescription glasses to the club. They would be kept in a hermetically sealed, temperature-controlled, bullet-proof display case; an 'Eyeglasses Hall of Fame'.

Any man who made disparaging remarks about a woman's glasses or was rude to her would be banished permanently from the club, but not first before his picture was taken. The picture would then be displayed on a Jumbotron in the middle of the club, where it would be morphed into a likeness of Allen Ludden.

Each New Year's Eve, the inventor of high index lenses would be hung in effigy in the club's entrance.

After generating huge profits, I would start up a magazine called "Glasses Aficionado", which would deal with the joys and attractiveness of wearing glasses. A regular feature would be "Ask Dr. Sarah", a column written by an expert from the United Kingdom offering advice about glasses and their effect on relationships with those of the opposite sex. Companies wishing to advertise in the magazine would be required to furnish genuine glasses on all models in their ads - no plano lenses!

I would further invest the profits from these operations and start up a new company, Club Specs, a series of resorts located in exotic places all around the world for people who like to wear their glasses while on vacation.

Then, I would take these companies public through an IPO. After sales go through the roof, I would overtake Bill Gates as the wealthiest man in the world.
