The future's sooooooo bright, I gotta wear really, really big shades (Guest Blog)

I am not going to posit this idea as over or underrated. I am simply going to say it must stop. We cannot go on any longer in a civilized society pretending that this is a good look.

The oversized sunglasses look must come to an end. I understand how it happened, believe me. I think this woman is simply darling as well, but we cannot go on like this anymore. We have to remember this at all times: she was horrible human being. Do you really want to model your fashion look after someone who abandoned their whole family, and felt almost no guilt about it? Is that the kind of person you wish to resemble? I don't think you do.

Or are you possibly claiming to be inspired by this woman? Her blatant disregard for sensible eyewear might have led to the death of one of our most overrated Presidents. Think about it. Her large glasses could have easily caused a light flare big enough to blind all of the secret service men. I am not saying that's how it happened. I'm justsayin...

Last and certainly not least, men love this guy, but we would greatly appreciate it if women didn't try and resemble him.

i am pretty sure mrs. onassis wasn't wearing glasses when her husband was hit in the head with a bullet, howell, but if so, i imagine the large frames protected her eyes from splattered brains.

I've heard a lot of criticism about oversized sunglasses, but causing the demise of JFK is a new one.

Admittedly, I own and have owned them. I think it's complete fashion ineptness, lack of creativity and convenience that perpetuates the trend, although since I actually got prescription glasses, the bug-eyes glasses have been relegated to the glovebox.

in case you are confused as to who she is, she's the one sitting by the jelly donut

and apparently she had only her white gloves to shield her frm the brains of her husband

I think we all know that the sun glasses were photo shopped out. I mean look how bright is. Your telling me she wouldn't wear glasses on a day like that?

YOu see, when I think of the oversized glasses, I think of this woman.

This association does not help the case for the oversized glasses, in my none-too-humble opinion.
