Jonathan Bailey and eyewear company Cubitts team up for a collaboration to support LGBTQ+ non-profits globally…
The ‘Summer of Slutty Little Glasses’ is here! Optical brand Cubitts and Jonathan Bailey’s The Shameless Fund are launching a new partnership that is sure to turn people on. Today, everyone can officially pre-order a pair of Bailey’s Jurassic World Rebirth tiny little glasses.
The actor announced the partnership while promoting the latest film in the Jurassic Park franchise on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He told Fallon the glasses are the exact same frame he wears in the film, but with a pink lens. Proceeds from the sales go to Bailey’s charity, which helps queer people live authentically and thrive.
About The Shameless Fund Collection
As part of the partnership, Cubitts is selling three pink coloured products. The hexagonal Loomis frame (£150) is made from stainless steel and has a soft pink tinted lens. Half the unit price for the first 3,000 pairs will be donated to The Shameless Fund. Any glasses sold beyond that will see 75 per cent of the unit price donated. Plus, the stylish cleaning cloth and case come with the purchase.
For those just wanting the accessories, both are also sold separately. The cleaning cloth (£10), reads “Find the sun, be shameless” on it along with Bailey’s signature. Each cloth purchase will see £8 donated. The Loomis Case (£50) is a stylish accessory to carry the glasses around. The aluminum case has a fuchsia pink lining and half of the unit price goes towards the charity.
What Are ‘Slutty Little Glasses?’
Entrepreneur and internet personality Blakely Thornton, coined ‘slutty little glasses.’ Fashion experts and media outlets describe them as minimalist, barely there, wire frame glasses. However, some define them as any tiny pair.
Bailey has become the “King of Slutty Little Glasses” as dubbed by the internet. When asked about his choice of tiny eyewear by Entertainment Tonight the actor said, “I’m thrilled that people are having a hormonal explosion linked to optical supports…So let’s have the summer of slutty little glasses.”
Thornton even created an Instagram page, @sluttylittleglasses, which has over 19,000 followers. The profile documents the many individuals who wear a form of the eyewear and make us all hot and bothered.
How does The Shameless Fund help LGBTQ+ people?
Bailey started The Shameless Fund in 2024 with the goal of raising cash for the LGBTQ+ community and erasing shame so queer people can live freely and authentically. Through collaborations with global brands, the money raised supports small non-profits and their work with the global LGBTQ+ community. The actor told Jimmy Fallon the charity has raised nearly a million dollars in its first year alone.
When speaking to Vogue about why he started the fund, the actor told the publication he wondered what he could do to help raise money for a cause near to him. “There are so many amazing people who are on the frontline. They’re the real heroes that are working for organizations, and charities, and initiatives, which can speak to so many specific groups of people,” Bailey told the publication. “How can I raise money without asking people to actually donate and sponsor, [but rather] to invite people to experience art and beautiful, inspiring, naughty and exciting collaborations?”
His first collaboration was with the brand Loewe. The pair created the viral “Drink Your Milk” t-shirt. The white tee reads “Drink Your Milk” across the chest with milk stains dripping from the crew neck collar – though it’s definitely meant to suggest another white substance.
The tee was inspired by a scene between Bailey and Matt Bomer in the series Fellow Travelers. In the scene, Bomer tells Bailey’s character, in a seductively dominant tone, to “drink your milk.” The actor told Vogue the tee was a way to immortalize his performance and his character’s reaction.
While, it’s only been a year, Bailey has proven that he can capitalize on the trends and moments we are all pining over and creating a product that can do good. We cannot wait to see what other collaborations his charity comes up with in the future.
