The Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. Sure, they became a pop culture fixture when Tom Cruise wore them in Risky Business. Sure, it’s “cute” when college kids wear them during 80′s themed parties. OK, the Blues Brother’s wore them. Now, it’s 2009 and they have reemerged as fashion forward? Why? Who said this was OK?
No one wears these glasses when they want to be taken seriously. That’s why they are so popular at parties and in movies: because they’re ridiculous. Because no one looks good in them. Now I have to tolerate seeing everyone try to pull them off because someone said “hey, they 80′s are fashionable again”? No. Not cool.
I didn’t say anything when Aviators got popular, but this? No, no. It has gone too far.
Katharine McPhee used to be cool. She also used to sing. What happened there?
Hint: if Lindsay and/or Ali Lohan wears them = bad idea, don’t do it.
Paris Hilton wears them? I have no further questions. Nuff said.
It is a delicate balance because soon someone is going to say “what about leg warmers”? And then it will be “how about cut off t-shirts and sweat shirts”? But the last straw will be “how about big hair”? What then?
Then everyone is going to be back to the 80′s for realzzz. And that means everyone is going to be ugly. Really ugly. Even Cindy Crawford was a little weird looking in the 80′s. That’s the “has fashion gone crazy?” litmus test. When you take Cindy Crawford and dress her up in the most up-to-date outfit and she looks stupid. That = too far. This is one particular instance where we should all be able to learn from history and prevent it from repeating itself. Please let this pass quickly…
Control top jeans, big hair and hoop ear rings not withstanding, she’s still a stone cold fox.
