Future’s so bright, I gotta wear ridiculous sunglasses.

Even as the autumn leaves start a’fallin’, those designer blow flies continue to take over our city, heck our planet.

You’ve seen them, I’m sure. 

They sit in their cars at the traffic lights, stroll the streets, sip on their soy lattes… rhinestones or goldtoned logos usually D&G, PRADA and CHANEL shimmer and shake at their temples. High-bling, over-branded crap.

Sunglasses seem to be getting bigger as the sun gets brighter.

And every time I see some hapless soul wearing them, I want to scream the question – do you honestly believe wearing sunglasses that have more hardwear than Bunnings splashed across the sides, sunnies so large, they reach down to your chin, actually make you look GOOD?

Who wears this bling-heavy eye-(sore)-wear and genuinely believes they’re bursting with fashion integrity?

Here are some designer letters for you – TACKY & GAUCHE – T&G.

Hm. It could take off.
