"Pedophile Glasses" - Friend X

I'm feeling crotchety ATM, so I figure I'll have a little rant.

More than three years ago I bought these glasses (or similar, and Hella cheaper) from a country chemist. This is so far back Wayfarers were starting to re-emerge. I thought they were cracking. A friend of mine referred to them hideous, summarising them as "pedophile glasses" at which we all had a good laugh.


For the past few months they've been the thing to have. So too, has the whole rolled up cuff thing, something I've been doing for years now. (Though of course I stole that from elsewhere, The Sartorialist to be accurate(the man is cuff-sessed) ; before it got predictable,)

Not that I'm really whining. I gave up on fashion when un-ironic double denim (or Texas Tuxedos) came back into style. Although I suppose if you think you're macking the vogue for wearing either (the denim ensemble or the sunnies) then yeah, I'm sort of crippling your fashionable little nippy.

Not in those duds you won't.

And if you want my prediction of what we'll be wearing two years from now, think Plastic Fantastic.   As in Kanye West circa Graduation, or Nicki Minaj now. I'm talking high tech prints and fabrics ala Stone Island, Jeremy Scott et al.

 So what I'm saying is, my puffy green jacket (photos STILL forthcoming) was way, way ahead of it's time. So far ahead it was lame.

 (OH GOD ungainly must-have addendum. Remember when round coloured lenses were purely the domain of goths and Warcraft enthusiasts? Ah! The terrible magic of "taste".)
