Giant Plastic Sunglasses
Permalink  

It would seem that at some point over the weekend, a memo went out to all the girl's instructing them to wear gargantuan plastic-rimmed sunglasses rather like these:



They're ALL wearin' them.  Suddenly.  They look like my gran's.


Fashion is shit, isn't it?

i have to admit to not being a fan of them for me - but they suit about 0.3% of the population

billy's mom has an original pair of those top gun aviator type glasses:



she totally suits them too hehe

The most rediculous thing is these tiny tiny girls are wearing these ginormous glasses and it makes them look like little kids who raided mommy's closet.

I'll take my 2 for $5.00 City Street Specials thankyouverymuch.

Hmm, don't think it's the sunglasses that are the problem, it's the shirt & tie.

I'd just arrived home from work when that picture was taken.  I look very smart, thank you very much.  And I tied the tie all by myself!


Somebody nicked my top lip, though...

Shrug... I don't think you look that bad. Maybe that shape just isn't for you? They almost look a little too small for your face.. maybe something slightly (but not as bug eyed big as the first example).

I think this is the first picture I've seen of you in sunlight...

The more money I spend on sunglasses the more likely I am to lose or break them in a matter of days.

The pair I have now (my street specials) have done me well for over a year at this point. Never lost them, not broken, not scratched.

My mother spent $250 on a pair of sunglasses and the next day while getting into the car, sat on them.

Yep I think that's the rule. My brooks brothers sunglasses were somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 (prescription) and Buddha ate them. Gotta love it.


I keep meaning to replace them, but I know it'll cost a good chunk of change since I still need them to be prescription and I am not looking forward to it.

Yeah that is on my agenda too, my current sunglasses are not prescription, they were about $125 and have lasted a good long while. I need to get some prescription sunglasses but just got some new regular glasses that weren't cheap so not wanting to spend another $300-400 right now on more glasses.

See the difference is.. you spent 2.50 on them.. thats so easily replaceable I could afford to send you a replacement pair with change I've found in my couch.

It's when you sit and break $300 sunglasses that you wonder why you got up that morning. :)

For presecription sunglasses, my Kazuo Kawasaki came with a $90 upgrade, which are polarized, magnetic clips, these things rock!!

People can't tell that they're not sunglasses when you're wearing them... First time my Mom saw them, she said "Did you get a new pair of sunglasses?"


Expensive though, that setup set me back about $600...

Nice.  Although I'm not sure about the way the left lens hangs off.  Not a good look, dude.

Here's another one for you then.  Also in a hat.  My mother's hat, to be precise.  Looks good, doesn't it?

I think the hat looks jaunty.  Ever thought of wearing it to work?  I once spent some stupid amount on sunglasses on for the arm to fall off completely.


RIP my lovely Oakleys.  I still mourn their loss.

Something else just struck me.  The title of this thread seems to me like an ideal name for a Radiohead song.


Is that just me?
