A rant from a friend:
Yesterday as I'm on my way to pick up my daughter from daycare, I saw (seemingly) several hundred females wearing those sets of huge, black sunglasses that look like big bug eyes. I thought I'd driven into the world of killer bees. These sunglasses look to be about 4 times the size of my shades. They appear to cover at least 1/3 of the person's entire face. What's the attraction to these glasses? The first person I recall seeing (and it was only in pictures as she's someone to whom I've never physically gotten close) is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Mrs. Onassis had such grace that she could make anything she wore look classy. That doesn't mean just anybody can do the same. I imagine that those sunglasses are made by some famous designer. And I'm certain that many of those I saw yesterday were of the knockoff variety. Somebody tell me the purpose of sunglasses. Yes, everything we (male and females) wear is usually a fashion statement. But when did it become fashionable to look like a wasp? What's with the bug like apparel? We don't see beetles on the runways of Paris wearing little clothes like humans (do we?). I have no problem with animal print and animal skins. This is especially true for mammals. Bear skin rugs (I know, very 1970's), rabbit fur, zebra stripped furs, alligator leather, snake skin and even peacock hair apparel are fashionable. But bug sunglasses? What's next? Centipede armed coats? Bee winged swimsuits? Ant antennaed hats?

LOL!!!! You hatred for fashion is amusing. Big glasses have been in since March 2005. This fashion originated in Paris, has made its way into high-end sunglass stores the US of A and infiltrated into knock-off stands at every mall across America.
While I agree with you that it's become an "over-done" trend. It's still a DO in my world and will be until someone gives us something better to protect our eyes from the blaring sun because although I'm not big on sunglasses, I have to have a pair in my car for driving.
the only reason I wear sunglasses is to hide my bloodshot drunk eyes and to make gals think am looking in their eyes when am actually admiring their breasts.
Yikes! So plastic irritates you but a dead animal turns you on?! Is this Dick Cheney?
I'll stick to the plastic bug eyes, thank you very much.
