Another weary summer of monstrously huge sunglasses

Victoria Beckham Posh Spice huge sunglasses

This image of Posh Spice was from a story in the Daily Mail, about how some girl on Big Brother is emulating Posh's look.

Heavy breaking news, I know.

I'm using this image to reassure you - yes, big, stupid clown sunglasses are still in fashion this year, and will probably be worn throughout the s ummer. Yay! You can wear the ones you had last year, or -even better- fork out $300 for an even bigger pair. Maybe just get a NASA space walk helmet and cover your face completely.

Naturally, I'm being sarcastic. I hate these abominations, and I'm bitterly unhappy that they're not out of vogue yet.

I haven't met any men that actually like them, so I hope that the women that wear them are getting some kind of self-satisfaction out of it...

I suspect a big reason that they're popular is because they 'appear' glamourous... they're the kind of sunglasses that Lindsay Lohan would wear after being checked out of rehab, or Paris Hilton would wear after being released from jail.

The net effect of the glasses is to kill my libido, which I assume happens to all men. In this case, wearing big, stupid sunglasses is a remarkable crime prevention strategy. Go to it!

I haven't met any men that actually like them, so I hope that the women that wear them are getting some kind of self-satisfaction out of it...

Will admit, I did have a few pairs but realised just in time that they make me look like The Fly.
...and the men in my life were only too happy to tell me that! Including the gay ones!

I think women have bought into the hype that large sunnies bathe us in a mysterious 'Who Is She?' aura a la 'Dolce Vita' hiding from the papparazzi era...

...and unfortunately it's the Lollipop* Brigade that has taken to this 'look' like freaks to flypaper!

I think large sunnies is Chapter 5 of 'How To Act Like A Celebrity For Dummies'.

*stick body, big head, have the life sucked out of them...

I wear them (sometimes) because I have fantasties of looking like Jackie O (that's the original Jackie Onassis), and like Dusk says, like I'm some kind of mysterious mega celebrity (.....*whispers*....is that Chic Critique! OMG!)

All of my male friends tell me I look like an insect, or that I'm incognito, or hiding in disguise....but my girlfriends love 'em. Weird, huh?

Thanks for the male perspective - always good to hear!

Cheers

Oh yes!!! Thanks Chic-ita....Jackie O!!...of course....why did they look so damn good on her??

See Cibby...it's that style we want to emulate. And that was style.

I haven't thrown/given away my pairs yet...I like the idea of them but seriously...after seeing photos...uh uh.

dusk, chiq, Jackie O was style, that's for sure. But even she had well-proportioned sunnies... not the monstrous solar collectors being sported these days.

tracy, yes, you probably do..

They would be good at covering after-the-night-before eyes....
