What a surprise it was when TheArnoldFans checked the mailbox today to find "T3: Rise of The Machines" Sama Sunglasses waiting for us as a gift! These glasses came courtesy of Ivan Samuels, an optical retailer in Atlanta, with six locations!


Ivan is an exclusive dealer of Sama Eyewear, maker of the T3 glasses. Sama has been chosen to design the eyewear specially for Arnold for Terminator 3.

Ivan:
The glasses come in hard case that says T3 on the outside, Sama on the inside, the cleaning cloth says "T3 Eyewear by Sama" and the closure on the box is made out of a magnet. The glasses also have T3 written on the inside of the temple (the part that goes behind your ears)...people seem to really like the case!

To buy your very own T3 glasses just like the ones The terminator wears - buy them from a big Arnold fan! Contact Ivan now at Theeyegallery.com or 404-252-4111.

Ivan also informed us of a big T3 eyewear party he held!

Hi TheArnoldFans, We're busy making copies of one of the trailers today...to put in on big screens in the stores....getting ready to host a party here in Atlanta with media. We're inviting about 50 - 60 media folks and serving up "T3-tinis" (martinis) and Sama-mosas.

Below is an invitation to a big invitation-only preview party for the release of the glasses!



So how was Ivan's party?

The event was a blast. T3 Eyewear was provided compliments of Sama Eyewear and The Eye Gallery. All were able to feel like Arnold for an evening (maybe not look like it though...oh well).Darin Nathan VP of Sama Eyewear worked with media personally view color selections of T3 Eyewear and provided some noteworthy 411 on Arnold's frame.

After the T3 Eyewear Party, Star 94 had Sama Eyewear on for a broadcast segment to talk about upcoming T3, Arnold, and life in L.A. finding eyewear for "the celebs". I'll have a copy of it soon, and will forward in digital format... I asked for mpeg3.

Also we had a photo shoot with the Atlanta Journal and Constitution today. (the journal was at the T3 Eyewear Party as well) One of the models wore T3 Eyewear looks awesome. She was wearing a dress that said "destroy" on the back. The Shoot was at upscale billiard hall here in Downtown Atlanta...near hard rock café. Comes out in print May 25, will forward a copy.

These unique frames were custom designed specifically for Arnold Schwarzenegger, by carefully constructing the frame to surpass the films production requirements. Sama, the designer of the T3 eyewear, utilized the finest cutting-edge technology and manufacturing techniques. The Eye Gallery is an exclusive dealer of Sama Eyewear.
