My Sunglasses



I love my sunglasses. I really, really do. This is the third or fourth variation on the same basic theme. Big. I mean extraordinarily big. Like Jackie O on steroids big. And white. They absolutely have to be white.


I don't for an instant think that I look good in them. Seriously, I look like they're eating my face. But I love them. I love them because they're hard to misplace. I love them because they're annoyingly stupid. But most of all, the real reason why I love them and why I've bought the same kind for three or four years now....?


Here. The original Willy Wonka Sunglass. I've looked, but I can't find these exact ones. I realize that what I keep coming up with is a sad ghost of the original, but I make do with what I have.

Dang. Now I'm going to have to take a picture of me in my glasses, posed just like Willy up there.

But anyway. Why do I write this? Why do I write this now? Simple. The reason I'm now on WWS no. 3 (or 4) is because my children have broken WWS nos. 1-2 (or 3). Each pair has ended its faithful service at the angry, chubby hands of one of my children, and I can hear this pair's clock ticking. So I wanted to express my gratitude for its three months of awesomeness.

Viva la Willy Wonka Sunglasses!

I never would have made the Willie Wonka connection without this blog to help me out.
