Default Picked up these sunglasses...

My commute has me driving facing in to the sun both morning and night. I've been wearing a hat to keep the sun out of my eyes, but that's no way to enjoy a convertible. I want to feel the wind flowing over my bald scalp!

So I headed over to my local Sunglass Hut and after parting with more of my duckets than should be necessary to get a decent pair of sunglasses with flexible titanium frames and polarized lenses, I ended up with these:



Apparently Maui Jim is some kind of good high-end sunglasses brand. I really don't know. But damn if those uber light frames aren't kinda neat.

I purposely wanted thin frames. Leaves smaller tan lines on the sides of my bald head from all the top-down driving.

I just go to the kiosk in the mall and get two pairs of designer imposter sunglasses for $25. h:
I got some "Diesels" and Fauxsaces last time.

Nice, Maui Jim's are comfortable glasses.

I bought a pair at a sunglass shop down here for $200... I liked them for about a day until i realized i dont look good with huge lensed glasses. didnt really fit the round shape of my head.

So i ended up buying another pair of glasses for $250 (Nike's)... Gave the Maui's to my dad... He loves them.

I had some just like those...except they were cheap and cracked around the screw that sits in the lens and I tossed them a week after I bought them. :hs:
