The "Buzz" in Fashion?




Can anyone explain why it's suddenly fashionable for women to wear giant sunglasses? Everywhere I go I see ladies wearing sunglasses that make them look like insects. Jen, Liz, can you provide any insight?



The woman who sets next to me is listening to one of her burned-at-home "mix CDs," each of which only contains five or six songs. So far she's "Heard It Thru The Grapevine" four times this morning.

I hope this insect trend continues, I really want some fly-eye sunglasses.

I'm amazed that it's ok for people in your office to listen to music without headphones. That would NEVER fly around here.

I think you should file a complaint with HR saying that you are offended by the Afro-centric Mo-Town music that is being played in your office. Say that you are made to feel shame for the years of white oppression over colored people, that it stresses you out and that your work suffers.

I think this falls right in line with people not being able to put a Christmas tree in their cube. Or, people not being able to use the phrase "skank-ass ho" in casual office chatter.

About the glasses, I call it the Angelina Effect (watch out, Coriolis). It will be followed by the surge in African-born American citizens.

Big sunglasses only look "good" on tiny women, so I'd know nothing about it :)

two cents from central Turkey...

There's someting really great about hiding behind ginormous lenses when skanky salesmen are heckling you every two feet (this from *very* recent experience). And it must be better for blocking out the harmful UV rays.

However, I freely admit that they look freakin' ridiculous.
