Isabelle Adjani at Cannes – Getty Images
My theory is that Crab ladies (a la Isabelle Adjani, above) use sunglasses in much the same way as women of the olden times used their fans – to sort of hide behind & peek come hithery out from. Leos use their sunglasses like a limo – you can’t see in but they can see out and they can not – they TRULY cannot – resist a little bit of bling on the things. Diamante. The designers initials. Gold trimmings. Scorpios wear sunglasses like armour & they will not hesitate to wear them indoors. Not for a moment. The champion of Scorp sunglassing would have to be the US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, seen here at some fashion parade.
I had a HUGE pair of sunnies a few years ago that i ADORED wearing as they were like a shield but they made me look like a fuqing fly. And an ex-mother-in-law urged me into a buying a really blingy pair that i now sense were a reflection of what she thought of me. They were nicked by a junkie wearing a Juicy Couture trackpants outfit & massive dangly long diamante earrings & glittery ultra violet fake nails. My first sunnies were RayBan & in them, i felt impossibly cool. Last time i got sunglasses they were FITTED by this woman at a shop. A Libran. I was just browsing but she was suddenly insistent on analyzing my face shape & critiquing the Fly Sunnies i already had. She measured my eyebrows. I think maybe because it was actually an optomoetrists. Whatever they are called. And a Libran. Sweet as they so into symmetry and all.
Aqua & Gem like do zany, I reckon. And you???

Oh yes can I relate to Ms Wintour. I am scorp and I NEVER take my sunglasses off. I even had the optomertrist order special lenses so i can see perfectly indoors while wearing them. (they are prescription, I am myopic – physically, at least – not spiritually OF COURSE).
My main goal in purchasing sunglasses, and i shopped for a while, was to be able to use them in the darkest corner of the library when looking for books. Makes total sense to me. If i ever lose my sunglasses (has happened once in my life) i don’t leave the house. I now have spare pairs stashed around mon abode, in case of emergency. Defcon 5? terrorist alert and all basic human supplies unavailable? optometrist detonated? or simply shut for the day? I’ll be covered, thanks.

I love sunnies, I have a big black pair that are fitted & admire a great pair on other people, esp love how alex perry has become them!
I watched a doco on anna wintour a few weeks ago & she was fascinating in good way.
She said that her sunglasses gave her protection from onlookers, so if she saw a great design no one would notice her analyzing in great detail or if she was completely bored by it again no one would notice her staring off into the distance.
I also loved when she said “people respond when someone knows exactly what they want”. -
Poor Anna Wintour, she looks like she’s watching Delia Antwerp Aars weave down the catwalk half sozzled, wearing a hessian tutu. Such are the demands of being a high fashion priestess.
Delia did wear those plastic cutlery numbers above while driving through Surry Hills, oblivious to the fact that she couldn’t actually see. She swerved to avoid what she thought was Wolfgang Trouser jaywalking, (it was a postbox), mounted the curb and smashed her BMW through the front window of Ray Hughes Gallery. Ray called the mess an ‘installation’ and sold it to the MCA saying that it symbolizes the impact of the GFC on the art world.
My Leo bestie wears Mafia wife sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana, covered in bling. She also dreams of owning one of those giant black Chryslers that hoodlums drive.

LOL Uber!

LOl Uber~ I too dream of the comic-book chrysler ?
-
I’m lusting after the new Dodge
-
PHat!! My chiro can hears my neck split any time an bit of Detroit V8 metal ggrunts close….being more Dodge pickup than Dodge SUV, lets talk cars sometime Spesh??
-
Absolutely RLP. I lerve the growl of all 8 muscles through a Lukey. The Dodge Ram is my choice but I wouldn’t say no to a Dodge Viper Hurst or even a Challenger. I was trackside when Stormin’ Norm Beechey blow a Dodge Phoenix to kingdom come trying to outrun the first really souped-up Mini. Do you watch Top Gear. I’m sure The Stig is a girl
-
so lets swap lives for a minute….?
harking back to that twat Ron Arad – the chairs the blokes sit on Top Gear are ARAD designed “Rover” chairs. Now highly collectable. look it up. Rover seats with bent metal arm. I dont get it. anyways Serial Burnouts in mon mini-truck in your honour Spesh, when the rains stops!!
Get this – Aries Ex was so plastered once he let his mate rev one of his American Muscle cars to impress (dont hold yr breath) the Crusty Demons. anyways said D-head threw Caroline (yes was her name) into reverse not 1st & engine went THRU radiator!! Whoops. Sucked in suckers….he later sprayed her black & added custom Boyd Coddingtons & some guy from your neck of the woods sent his minder with a case full of cash & she’s now up your way. true story.
wheels to a car are like shoes to an outfit.
its all in the detail.
custom Coddingtons be like Louboutins to the shoe addict.Mystic – canya do a car post??

Funnay. I thought plastic forks too – sort of melted on the dashboard. love how you weave the Fat Man into your D A-A stories. Have not spoken to him for a long time. Hear he not well.
-
Do you know him? What a character he is! 7:30 Report did a story on him a little while back, but not in the best of health. Could use some Virgoan lifestyle tips, I imagine.
-
Yes… spent a lot of time in his world many years ago… when Evan Evan was a baby… he was an important influence on me and hubbo. No idea what goes on there now. Virgoan lifestyle tips? Ha ha – he like the Anti Virgo! I think his birthday October some time… maybe a Libra?

I LOVE those giant black gangster Chrysler cars – they remind me of the batmobile!!

Pisces, taurus rising…they just have to FIT, and not be wonky! Like you Mystic I have a very small head/face (is that Piscean) and anything too big makes me look like a mosquito!!
-
black Raybans all the time.
-
I have Scorpio rising and I do wear my sunglasses all the time. Mine too have prescription lenses and I can see perfectly in them inside or outside. I can’t hide my reactions to situations very well, they are written all over my face, so when I wear sunglasses I feel like I have a bit of protection. If people can’t see my eyes they can’t see what I’m thinking. If I’m not wearing them they are perched on tp of my head ready to pulled down at a moments notice. I’ve been teased a lot by friends who sing that stupid 80s song to me ’she wears her sunglasses at night’ Lol.
-
I started wearing them for practical reasons- light eyes=migraines. But, it does also look pretty damn good too!
a little bit Virgo-Scop rising and Leo MC.
Also started becoming more interested in sunglasses again since Moon progressed into Leo.
Is that a big Leo thing? Big hair, black shades?
-
-
yeah, gem rising and my sunnies are fashion sunnies… but like a taurean I like them to fit securely – nothing more irritating to me than the feeling my sunnies (which I wear pretty much every day of the year) are going to fall off my face.
I wonder if sunglasses fall to Mercury? I know hearing does… which planet rules the eyes and seeing Mystic?
-
I wear sunglasses pretty much all the time…
… big Jackie-O type things… I like then because you CAN’T SEE THE REFLECTION OF YOUR EYE LOOKING BACK AT YOU.
It incredibly disturbing… -
my sunnies are strategically placed near door so’s I know exactly where they are and never leave the house without them I’m one of those odd peeps allergic to glare so no sunnies = huge bloody headache. On optician’s orders have worn then since I was 13. I’ve always favoured big black Audrey Hepburn styles and they’re great for hiding the naked/no makeup and in a rush look. If their not on my face they’re on my head. I seem to be able to kill them in spectacular ways. I’ve run over two pair on different occasions , sat on several pairs and mowed one pair with the lawn mower because I sneezed and dislodged them, and there’s a dolphin wearing beautiful sunnies somewhere off Kingfisher Bay Resort. Last time out West had just hit the road home and my sunnie’s frame snapped and stupidly hadn’t taken spares. Darling Alpha Tauri turned round and drove me to nearest sunnies outlet. Choices not good out there but I wasn’t going to travel 6 1/2 hours without my shades. I now own a huge/square/brownish maroonish pair that make him fall about laughing and call me Louie. I’ll wear them Wednesday to support the Maroons.

-
Hahaha! That made my day!
-
-
Hmm. I don’t wear them. I occassionally feel the need to buy a cheap pair for some odd reason. Maybe before beach holidays? But i wear them for 10 mins take them off and loose them. I don’t drive so I don’t need them for that reason and I usually am wearing my normal glasses – maybe that’s why?
I am going to go and buy a prescription pair of sunglasses soon though because i’m going skiing and don’t want glasses under goggles to be my only option.
-
OMG, once again Mystic has nailed it. Fossicking in an op-shop in Yarraville a couple of years ago, I found a pair of sunnies (YSL in gold lettering on the sides- gorgeous Jackie O frames). They had prescription lenses in them that were not my script. Took them up to the ol Lady at the counter. Had fingers and toes crossed that she wouldn’t notice that they were Yves Saint Laurent.
Bingo!! Got em for $2.00. Took them to my optometrist who put dark Jacqui O lenses in. They are divine!! Wearing them is like being slightly and pleasantly stoned. They make the whole world look softer and prettier. More pastel than bold print. I totally love that they make everywhere, everything and even everyone look just that little bit prettier.
And I fit Mytic’s astro-types to a tee. I’m a Leo. They DO have gold bling lettering on the sides. And they ARE like a poor woman’s limmo. I can see out but no-one can see in. With big hair and a cool jacket, you can look like a million dollars even when you feel schizenhouser.
-
Brilliant idea. That “whoosh” noise you hear is me rushing off to the charity shop to look for designer shades to do the same with. Except I like sleek, dark, minimalist – Trinity in The Matrix had it right. Except in the book (Neuromancer by William Gibson) the lenses are surgically fitted to her actual eyes. so you never know what she is thinking … perfect.
… yes, scorpio, and yes, I wear sunglasses all the time. Adds to the air of mystery doncha know. Also means they cant see where you are looking as Anna Wintour has pointed out. Makes it easier to ogle cute boys, especially when you are out with any one of the current boyfriends and want the ogling to be discreet. If I could be invisible and watch the world I would – it’s my international superspy tendencies coming out haha.
-
-
Cancerian observation confirmed here – yes to hiding but no to looking over the top – I heard that was very rude. If I have to make eye contact I take the sunnies off.
Also very particular that the shape works for my face and not fashion, but frames must always be in a stylish colour & design. Always have them fitted by optometrist – so worth the effort. Not into asymmetry when it comes to clothing.
Have had prescription lenses in my sunnies for years. Very picky about the quality of the lens material too. Before the quality of polymer/synthetic lenses was good enough I chose glass – Zeiss umbrell glass. Divine to look through – makes the world look clean and sharp. Scorpio rising – I like to SEE… forensically! Occasionally use a microscope in my work and love the wonderful quality of the glass and the insights into another dimension.
One optometrist I had was aghast at clients wearing their sunnies on top of their heads as it stretches and eventually ruins the hinges. She instructed me that “Sunglasses should be on your face or in the case!”
-
Nat – ditto.
re eye contact & courtesy can relate to sunnies up down up down up down more times than, well you know!! was also recently chastised by Optom-dude for wearing on head. How else can I restrain all this hair in the wind?? & also re lense tint – thank chrst for patient Optomowomen……replacing baby Rayban Aviators lense w perscriptives (am blind) was more diff than new colour pallete for abode! Now lets not get started on scratched lenses……….or NIL polarise.
Taurean sis has fab shaped frames, but to touch are, well, so ‘made in Korea. she proudly shared they were free from the cancer council. ouch. wont begin with the optical devaluation…
-
-
I’m a cancer with leo ascending, and that is spot on.
-
this pisces likes dark sunnies for hiding. wide enough to protect eyes + skin from bright Aussie UV rays. Polarised for clearer vision thru ocean waters: good to know where rocks and seaweed are and tosee how teuly crystal clear the water is. not a follower of trends and the bling option often clashes with low-key beach life but i suspect it might actually work for me if i tried it.
-
UP – a male Fish mate obsesses re the quality of his airline pilot RB Aviators, EVERY time at beach all of us are thrust a look. its true. they allow you to see thru water. Tis a fish thing?
signed fish rising hence hooked, but not sinkered. (or Libran whom knows they dont suit her face) x

this thread make thing of the old Shel Silverstein song ” Bury Me In My Shades” It’s my signature song
-
bloody hell!! coffee time…..that should have been “makes me think of”
-
Cory Hart “I wear my sunglasses at night”. Wayfarers, correct??
-
now days I get him & Cary Hart, PINK’s motorcross hub. A Metrosexua covered in tatts with hair gel’s kinda an Oxymoron right??
-
I did a Utube search for Shel Silverstein’s “Bury Me In My Shades” and kept finding either “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night” or “Bury me in my Gucci” I have Shel Silverstein’s on ancient vinyl.
-
K – so its Richard Gere lookalike Carey – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXw4qqQqTrY – the outta sync audio here making it even funnier. Singing into the telephone is a loset art non?

You’d think that for living in Palm Springs, CA where it’s sunny 364 days of the year, I’d wear sun glasses, but I don’t! And I don’t know how that happened except like you Ches I have destroyed many a pair and so just have not bothered yet to get new ones. Years ago, in a spiritual workshop, heard that the sun actually good for stimulating the pineal gland and that we don’t get enough sun. In any case, I did have prescription sunglasses but they plain ‘ol wore out. They were wonderful and did wear them ALOT…At the pool now, wear a hat or something and do have a pair of glasses in the car but don’t like…
My regular glasses, that I wear for distance when driving or watching tv from a distance, have little rhinestones on the sides though. Think they very cute and do hide behind.
Black rims like instant liner…
-
Had the the tinted 3-D glasses from when I took my granddaughter to the movie “Monsters and Aliens” in my purse one day and so wore those…
Things did look slightly off…
-
-
I’m Taurean & I CANNOT leave home without sunglasses. It can be about to pour with rain but somehow I can sense glare. My eyes are ultra sensitive to light & it’s my worst nightmare to be out in the sun without them. I do not understand how people can go without. Eep! I know where my glasses are at any minute of the day
I favour big jackie o type frames. Currently heart my lulu guinness glasses.
-
Yeah, it’s crazy Lex as my eyes are blue and not fitted for the desert (from what I read about different colored eyes) without protection but think they just adjusted as used to be very sensitive also.
-
oh is this really the case with blue eyes? I have pale blue eyes and have always thought this is connected to my incapacity to bear the glare. I have been addicted to sunglasses since i was about 12. I feel blinded without them. But i have never had this connection between eye colour and glare tolerance cofirmed
-
My eyes are brown and have glare prob….genetic I think
-
Yes, don’t know how confirmed it is, but it made sense at the time as I always needed sunglasses and now don’t as have lived here in desert two years…
-
-
-
-
I’m Saggo and wear my sunnies for purely practical reasons EXCEPT in the car when I like to “hide” so they are always on my face when I’m driving during daylight hours… even when others are driving around in overcast conditions/sunrise/sunset with their parking lights on!
-
As a Crab, I have to say that picture of Isabella Adjani with her sun glasses could be me – but I think Crabs don’t so much do ‘a peek and come hither’ with their sun glasses. It’is more about using the sunglasses as a shield – the eyes can give away so much!!
-
Still wearing my 30 year old RB aviators purchased in the middle east..
-
Loving your combo of Up=Yourself Aries name/destination dropping and Cancerian sentimentality/ability to hang on things x
-
there’s been times when it was just them and me, true..
-
mars in cancer…yes, well, lets not go there..
-
Davidl it takes the first 30years of ones life to learn how to negotiate/work with Mars in Cancer but we eventually get there
-
-
-
-
David – this be scarily like mon Ariean Ex re THAT pair of aviators owned since before god was born, origins somewhere fabulous. he too often was left with them shades, & a couple of cars for company.
BTW his backups come c/ online dude in the US.
All circa 60’s & 70′d & mint. original cases also.
-
-
Lots of Kataka dotted about here and yes me too they have their own language. It’s also the way I wear them on my head too. I recently splurged on a $200+ fashie type sports brand ones & I love them. I even keep them in their sturdy case instead of sitting on them or losing them. Quite proud of myself there.
Anyway, in the NT with bright sun 95% of the year round one NEEDS good/tasteful sunnies.
-
except they keep fogging up Savannah ~ lived in the NT (Darwin, Tennant Creek) for a while and the steam was amazing…
-
Yes that’s true, I live in Alice Springs.
I gotta ask what were you going in Tennant?
-
Oh, how cool. I love the dry heat of Alice Springs and Uluru. Visited in the late 80’s… just love the outback… the red earth.
I know it’s a different state but Broome and The Kimberleys is divine!-
I haven’t made it to West Oz yet, I must do it while I’m of sound mind & body.
Alice feels like a vast island sometimes, I wonder if I’ll ever stop doing time here and get back to reality.
-
-
-
-
U keep them in their case? I’ve never done that! Is that normal?
-
It is after losing the BEST sunnies ever, then spending 2 years hunting to get a pair with even a 10th of the fit/comfort/style…..
-
I can never get them in a case (would be abnormal behav for one sans earth in er chart i reckon), but after trashing a nice pair i have started putting them in a fabric sock like thingo before I shove em in bag with keys etc scratching em up!
-
Not normal or usual for me. Maybe I’ve picked up some habits from Libra/Scorp/Virgoan partner after all these years.
-
-
-
Oh god, this thread makes me so sad. I had the same pair of Persol sunnies for 14 years (count ‘em). They had the most incredible lenses, I called them my hangover sunnies. No matter what the day was like, they tinted everything just that little bit better, calming and soothing and making happy everything I looked at. Moved to the Middle East. On first day at new job, my handbag fell off my desk. Faithful Persols broke neatly at the nose piece into two pieces. I gathered them up and put them in their little silk bag, then shed a few tears. Since then I have gone through two other pairs of lesser sunglasses. I am going to send the pieces to Persol and thank them and ask them where I can get another pair just the same. Very few objects will stand up to that level of use and abuse (I don’t look after my sunnies, I expect them to look after me)
-
oh poor seabird! Persols are lovely. V nice lenses.
Hope you will find another lovely pair.
-
-
Raybans you keep in their case, merely coz they cost a lot to replace & avaitors impossible, unless
they re-release them.
Had black hornrim GA’s that lasted 8 years of daily wear, yes, the mafia style referred to.
Now back to RB’s…a long tradition that pays off.
Not adverse to buying things that ‘fall off the back of a truck’ at 70% discount.
Found a supercool brand called ‘Dakota Smith of USA’……..in original case from the 70’s
whilst visiting local tat shop.
The Sun has a higher squint factor the last 15 years, they make sense. -
Mine are massive Christian Diors with the C.D. initials in gold and a sort of bling thing down the side. They are rose-tinted – that is why i wear them. It is not for show i swear. I have a far more trend-centric pair of Pradas but their lenses are tinged gray and dour; I look less vulgar and yet feel like shit.
I suppose this is off topic but i find pics of hot men with sunnies very stimulating. Is that Leo?-
Nah, just horny…
-
-
spot on Mystic! I can’t leave the house without my sunglasses and wear them until it’s dark. Rain, hail or shine they’re ON. I have several pairs at home just in case anything happens but also because i’m still searching for the perfect pair.
CANNOT stand glasses with bling, diamonds, big logos etc.
I wear mine for practical reasons, don’t care about the fashion. They have to be polarised, offer 100% UV protection, quality lenses and wrap around the sides a little to cut off light from all directions as my eyes are extremely sensitive to glare.
I just bought a pair of Maui Jim’s last week and they are by far the best sunglasses i have ever worn. Expensive but worth it! -
Does anyone remember those ghastly ‘driving’ sunnies from the 70’s/80’s. Huge box like sides, not wrap around, just sides built in..
-
Yes, and my 76 year old mother still wears them for driving!
-
Sure do. Kind of like a welding mask. Love how some oldies do not care what it looks like and wear them on over the top of their prescription glasses.
A friend once pointed out the number of old dudes (like his Dad) who’s sunglasses seemed to get bigger and bigger every year! This obviously before the current trend of looking like a bugged-eyed fly deemed tres cool. Must confess I rarely see a pair of white or yellow frames that look good on the wearer – unless you are actually in The Buggles.
-
-
I love sunnies! i have like 7 pairs! — everything from cheap cool $5 sunnies to my $210 D&G sunnies! == they express my mood and gives hints into what im feeling at the time!
Aviators = Cool, Witty but quick on sarcasim
White = relaxed, at peace, dont-bother-me-mood
Black = Loving the night! get outa my way (lol)
D&G = show off time!!!!!
BLUE = HAPPY, HELLO EVERYONE!MATT
LOL -
I would love to own the really big sunnies and groove the Hepburn vibe, but I have very high cheekbones, a very small nose, and that combination means that most sunnies sit on my cheeks, or slide way down to the tip of my nose so that I am always peering over the top of them, and lose the scorpy inscrutibility edge – so it makes them worse than useless!
However in the last couple of years I have discovered Roc sunnies – good quality, but an acceptable price (its taken me YEARS to spend more than $20 on sunnies…) and they sit on my nose…
-
i am pro classic styles and cannae stand big bug-eyed paris hilton sunnies. it just seems like i’d be trying to hard… i hate to look like i’m trying. pref understated when it comes to my face (weird for an aries?)
happy to go loopier with clothes and shoes, tho rare that i’ll be trendyi haves a thing for colour tho (lib risin?) and will only do warmly tinted lenses, can’t stand the grey/blue tones. i also go for reddish/brown/tortoiseshell frames cos black is no no good for moi. current pair are quality but not flashy brand – with tropical brown glass lenses & beautifully weighted frame. highly reco decent qual sunnies with glass lenses, the crispest nicest light i’ve ever seen from sunnies.
i rarely hide behind them (have never even thought of that!), could never wear them inside and am yet to hang onto a pair for more than a year. defo mourned my last pair (nice lisa ho’s i got for $30 on sale!) and have gotten better at hanging onto/lookin after them since i started spending more…
