Sunglasses

Bug Eyes

Fashion is arbitrary. It’s an industry based on rich men providing money to gay men, who design clothing modeled by freakishly thin women, bought by bored rich women, the profits go back to the rich men, and the cycle repeats. The jetsam from the process ends up in your local mall.

Fashion cannot be entirely groundless however. There are some fundamental truisms in the world. Ingrained in the human experience is a sense of quality and aesthetic. Otherwise, a bouquet of roses and a pile of dog feces constitutes the same experience.

It is to this fundamental aesthetic sense that I appeal when I say this. Those big sunglasses that seem to be on every woman’s face, are atrociously, irreparably fucking ugly. I know they are “in” and I’m sure yours were made by a big name, flamboyant designer. The truth remains, you are wearing the polarized equivalent of bell bottoms on your face.

If fifty million people believe a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing. – Anatole France

In small town Alberta in the 80’s Mullets were all the rage. So I say this with compassion born from experience. Step away from the five pound plastic frames. Buy something smaller and less insectile. You will thank me when you are looking at photos ten years from now.

    God, I was just saying the same thing last night while watching some famous person on TV looking like a moron in their idiotic sunglasses that covered their whole face and made them looking like a beetle
