Deeznuts, I'm gonna say it cause you can't see it, as I'm wearing my Miu Miu sunglasses, I'm rolling my eyes.

baader's & ronans' glasses are HOTTT. I love aviators but they make me look like Count Chubulon.
I've got bangs to my eyebrows and a really round face so most any pair of non-lennon sunglasses make me look like a dome of Shelley Duvall hair+a black field+a semicircle of skin. Plus it's hard to find sunglasses that don't squish my big head. So forever I will squint.

xpost Yes, especially on a thread about sunglasses. I'm very sure that Ronan is now crying on his pillow and that his mummy needs to comfort him because some twit on the net has been so candid about his views on Ronan, a guy he knows so little about.

well its just that when it comes to accessories, and i have to say sunglasses are just the most obvious example of this, political correctness has taken over so much that its basically impossible, or "socially impolite" if you like..to call someone out on their sunglasses, much less call them a cunt. i dont think its anyones fault per se that things have turned out this way, we're probably our own worst internal censors, but if deeznuts wants to call ronan out on this, i think thats fair play, don't you?
― 696, Thursday, 7 June 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link
unless you think ronan is some kind of ivory god, spinning tuning spork records from the mount?

I just spat out my cofee - this made my morning. Thanks, btw although I'm not sure I see it myself. A friend of mine used to refer to my Mom as Patsy because she has been known to enjoy a beverage or two and still smokes like a chimney and yeah, there is a slight resemblance there too.

When you get up in the morning, and the light hurts your head The first thing you do, when you get up out of bed Is hit the streets a-runnin, and try to beat the masses And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Spied a little thing, and I followed her all night In funky fine Levis, and her sweaters kind of tight She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molasses But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
(solo)
Now go out and get yourself some big black frames With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name And the choice is up to you, 'cause they come in two classes: Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I've seen Gareth in sunglasses. I've also seen Gareth make heavily sarcastic posts.

Right now my sunglasses look is big, black, Breakfast-At-Tiffanys-style shades from Top Shop. I am the one with the dark red hair wearing said sunglasses.

One of my ears is 1cm higher than the other, so sunglasses look wonky on me (or look straight but the arm hovers 1cm above my right ear.) Hence I have never worn them. I wear hats, pulled down low over the eyes. However, learning how to drive has made me realise I need some. And which to get? I am clueless. Will people laugh at me if I wear cheap £5 ones from Oxford Street? Are those racks unisex, or have I been trying on girl's glasses? Black? Brown? Metal rims? No rims? Big, yes, but how big? (I have a VERY small head.)
Aghrr. It's a whole world of taste and distinction that I had previously given no thought to
― Jamie T Smith, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:19 (sixteen years ago) link
i never realised people put such thought into wearing sunglasses
― g-kit, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:22 (sixteen years ago) link
get massive ones Jamie. as big as possible.
― blueski, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Nor did I, until I decided I should get some. I'm terrified.

Are you sure? My head really is small.
― Jamie T Smith, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:25 (sixteen years ago) link
i almost never wear sunglasses, pretty much only when i'm driving. this is dumb, because my eyes are way sensitive to bright light, and may-septembet i'm pretty much walking around outdoors with my eyes screwed as tight as they can be without actually being closed. this is why my youthful good looks will soon expire. i just can't do it, though. there's something about sunglasses, deep down in my psyche, that i equate with 'flashness' i'm not really comfortable with. i think other people look great in sunglasses, but i have this crazy thing where, when i wear em, i feel like i look like i'm trying to be 'cool'. i am insane.
i remember my primary school teacher had her sunglasses stolen by a pupil (hello south london) and she flew into this crazy rage, screaming "i needed those because of my hay fever". but i didn't really know what the word "fever" meant, beyond the movie "saturday night fever", and assumed she was angry because she wanted to wear her sunglasses to a disco.

These are the first sunglasses I've owned in many years: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/214/456169477_ed3b0f8d1f.jpg?v=0
They're kind of your standard issue frat boy sunglasses right now but I think they look ok on me.
― Hurting 2, Friday, 8 June 2007 14:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I have a pair of black Wayfairer Original Classics that I've had for 11 years. They are now several prescriptions old and don't have progressive lenses that I now need so I mostly wear them to play ultimate. Thinking of getting something new, but not sure what.

My wife's theory is that the more you pay for your sunglasses, the less likely you are to lose them, but I suspect that shifts on a case by case basis. I do know that I love my Ray-Bans, which may be only the third pair of sunglasses I've ever owned. Because I did lose the previous ones (in very exotic locales!).
Though did I lose them? I know exactly where they are/were, they were just irretrievable, so I suppose not so much lost as lost, as in, "lost to the sea." I have a friend who used to own the exact same style of glasses as me who dropped them in a music festival porta-potty. He said for a split second he debated fishing them out somehow. That's the downside of paying more for glasses.

Has it been discussed here yet that, when ostentatiously checking out somebody who has just entered the room, whether it is cooler to lift one's sunglasses up, or down?
