There is nothing cool or sophisticated about people wearing white-framed sunglasses! To me they look like kiddie glasses, you know the kind you buy at the dollar store for children under the age of 5.
OK... I admit, I've got a soft spot for Max Headroom (wow! does that age me or what! that was a great tv show in its day!) but don't tell me Cobain looks sexy or manly in those specs?
Guy with tie: You know everyone's laughing at you in those glasses, don't you?
Guy in white shades: I don't care, they're Fila, and I can afford them!
I'm showing my ignorance here - I've no idea who they are - and my apologies to the owner of the photo (yes, I sort of "borrowed" it when I googled 'men in white sunglasses' and this image popped up so many times!) but the joker on the right looks like a right ponce!
Well, it goes to show that money can buy you everything but intelligence (and that, my friends, is a blog and a half unto itself).
I visited my son a few weeks ago - and horror of horrors, as we stepped out into the sunlight, he pulled out a pair of white frames. "Ugh! Stefan! Come on! I'm not walking beside you if you wear those!" "Mum! They're so ugly, they're cool!" [He's almost 30 - and if he'd said they were "bucc" I would have disowned him right then and there!]
And it's not only men. I snapped this couple the other day - lucky girl to have been included in Cobain's will! [Notice her boyfriend is hanging his head in shame - bet he doesn't make eye contact with passersby.]
And now I've got that off my chest - time for me to don my Ray Ban's. Now, those are cool!!
