I know what you're thinking. "What the fuck, Dyne." But I happen to be one of THOSE people who likes to pay more than $20 for a pair of sunglasses even though I'm not rich at all. It all started when I first got hired at Propaganda - I was really into Miami Vice at the time, and I wanted a pair of Sonny's sunglasses. I eventually went to Sunglass Hut and payed the outrageous price of $150 for a pair of Ray-Bans. But you know what? Staring at a screen all day IS very straining, and the sun really does get to you. I wasn't as nerdy as I thought I was after I started the job.

Anyways, my first pair, a pair of Ray-Ban "New Wayfarers", model 2132, with dark tortoise shell and grey-green lenses.

Anyways, a year as passed, and Turok finally came out. I had also been doing a lot of random researching on Ray-Bans and I found a hell of a deal on these 2001 reissues, combined with Canadian Buying Power™ and the power of ebay. They had all the features my other pair didn't have, such as flex-arms, polarized, red-tinged lenses that are great for driving, and a bigger design. I just had to have them for the price they were selling them (at least $150 less than Sunglass Hut):

So, I was happy with those two, and I bought them, but I was also looking at what Ray-Ban released last winter, for only a few bucks more, which was totally hot. Folding Ray-bans. Raybans that fit in your pocket. In a moment of decreased masculinity, I HAD to have them. I finally caved in two weeks ago. This time for a black pair with grey lenses, and polarized again. Check out this:

So those got held up in Canadian Customs on Tuesday and I still haven't seen them yet. What the hell. I guess they'll be delivered on Monday.

Anyways, yeah, those are my sunglasses. I started the official Ray-Ban Wayfarer group on Facebook (nerdy, I know) and I have over 600 members now. And the crazy thing is, I'm really warming up to Persol sunglasses, which are like the hotter, older Italian exchange student living in Ray-Ban's house. I don't think I'll be buying any, any time soon, anyways. But just look at these two Persols:

Yeah, that's hot. Daniel Craig wore the first pair in Casino Royale, in the second half of the movie.

Anyways, post yours!
