Rhinestone Shades or Cheap Sunglasses

“Here’s a theory for you to disregard completely” Lester Bangs – Almost Famous

I am the first one to admit that I have a sunglass problem.  By that I mean I can’t seem to obtain enough of them, I hoard broken frames and make Frakenglasses, I don’t believe sunglasses can be too big and I’m guilty of wearing them indoors and at night.

It goes beyond that, I also have a tendency to be drawn to others who shamelessly don shades that defy convention.  I have a theory that there is a direct link between the type of person you are and the type of sunglasses you choose to wear….call me shallow I don’t care….i’ll show ya what I’m talkin bout.

  Johnny Depp always seems to play characters that have THE best sunnies, coincidence? I think not.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen…homeless chic designer duds…they can pull it off…you can’t = cool

If people have to address you as SIR Elton John I’m pretty sure I don’t have to explain your cool factor.

Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s) was a fabulous dream from head to toe. Window shopping through cat eye shades…YUPP!

John Lennon…enough said.

Nicole Richie owns over 2oo pairs of sunglasses…and I find that reasonable.

Gloria Steinem admits she hid behind her shades.  Ps. If you haven’t seen the HBO documentary In Her Own Words… I HIGHLY recommend you do so.

I could create a separate post entirely on the iconic lenses worn at Woodstock…for today I will stick with Janis Joplin’s.

Now, if you are still skeptical as to whether or not your sunglass style is a direct representation of the type of person you are….                                                                                          ....I think were done here.

Theory Thursday; it might become a thing, haven’t decided yet. Stay Tuned!
