THEN AND NOW THURSDAYS
Have you ever sat and reminisced about what was popular when you were a kid? Well…. “Then and Now” Thursdays is right up your alley.

Sunglasses

Ha! Do you remember these? And they looked pretty good on Tom Cruise back then, didn’t they? Admit it, you had a pair of these, didn’t you?
I had a pair that were WAY too big for my face. Dark black. Oh, I thought I was the coolest chick out there.
–
BUT NOW….
OH yeah, they are still pretty big. And … yes, they cover most of my face. BUT, they look way cooler, wouldn’t you say?
***
So, does this bring back any memories?

I was never into sunglasses. I’m mostly just cheap- more than $5 is splurging for me.
My sister, on the other hand, looks AWESOME in the vintage cat-eye shaped plastic things with the rhinestones on the sides. Tons of fun.

LOL. Great comments you guys. This is so funny…..Kat, you crack me up….”little black potato-chip looking curlies” I can Totally picture that…..
Oh yeah, Max Headroom…I remember those glasses. I used to think it was so “futuristic” ***LOL***

I DID have a pair of the Tom Cruise Risky Business sunglasses. I left them on the dashboard of my Mustang on a hot summer day (hmmmm, summer, I miss that so much) right after I started driving and the lenses melted into little black potato-chip looking curlies.
Does anyone remember the Lavar Burton’s (Jordi LaForge) Star Trek glasses? The first time I saw them I thought he had a banana clip over his eyes.
Or how about the glasses worn by Max Headroom? The ones with the lines through them?
I won a pair of those from a county fair when I was in grade school.

I just love huge sunglasses like the ones in the second picture, especially the 60’s-style movie-star type.

One of our ministers is known for retro clothes but especially eyeglass frames. So coooool! When feeling nostalgic, I just go to playlist, put on some Glen Miller, BeachBoys, Diana Ross and the Supremes — oh am I dating myself(LOL)

I had a pair of Wayfarers back in the late ’80s. And you know what? I looked EXACTLY like Sonny Crockett.
